What should I do with my $$
 
I have around $400-$500 to spend on my car. I was thinking a Hi-Flow X-pipe with 2 new O2 sensors. A heat sheild fell off my stock h-pipe the other day and the o2 sensors are still stock(94K miles). The suspension is also stock. I could get some new shocks, struts and bushings. Or I could also get some gears(3.55's), or even a strut tower brace. This car is my daily driver.

What do you guys think I should do?

I would say subframe connectors would help since its a convertible.. Then go with a new h-pipe(or x-pipe). Then go for 3:73 gears...

yea go with the 3.73's and an intake if possible, change out that stock one if you still have it.

Summit sells X-pipes fairly cheap. I bought my O2 sensors from Napa for damn close to 50 bucks EACH..I couldnt hardly believe they were they expensive..

Go for either the subframe connectors or the h-pipe first or hold off until you can do both. They both will give you dramatic results for the $$. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif
