Best Bolt-on Package

By the way, Happy Thanksgiving. So I was thinking about Christmas and was wondering now that I am about to acquire enough money to pay for performance parts, what are the best bolt-on parts that go together well. Intake, injectors, exhaust, etc. Thanks a lot. I did research and all before I posted this and couldn't find anything so if there really is something that just means I suck at research.

start with the basics...Injen cold air intake and magnaflow catback made it feel like a totally different car to me. Sounds awesome too.

my engine mount is one of my favorite mods too. better acceleration and firmer shifts.

bolt-ons i'd recommend,
CAI-aem and injen are good

Exhaust-your choice can go expensive or cheap

Header-C/A is a good one i have it and like it, i've heard good things about pacesetter, scdyne is nice but not very good customer service.

Downpipe-C/A's got a nice 2.5" w/ high flow cat that will work well

Tuning-Have someone use HP tuners and get a custom tune or contact Vector Motorsports, Tune Time, Wester garage for a canned tune

Could not agree more. Ingalls is very nice too for the ss/sc guys.

i love corsa sport catback and probably sound good on a 2.4 also, and the ingalls the 2.4 people can also get em with an aftermarket intake, jsut not the ss s/c guys, i bought my ingalls used from a 2.4 ss on here.

Is the Corsa touring catback louder than stock 2.4? Im trying to get an exhaust thats close to stock sound and provides a good HP gain. I dont want a loud ricer sound if you know what I mean.

I listened to Magnaflow and GMPP so far, I cant find Corsa sound yet. I liked the GMPP but it looks kinda cheap but I have no clue. Of Magnaflow, Corsa, GMPP which has most flow?
