Free/ Inexpensive Mods:
Remove Air Silencer
K&N Filter

You cannot manually adjust the timing on a 4.6 like you can a 5.0. (Unless you want to invest in a Steeda Timing Adjuster)

Best first mods for the 4.6 in my opinion are:
1. Gears (I'm currently running 3.73s and love them)
2. Pullies
AND
3. An after market short-throw shifter
(You never want to miss a gear while frying rice ;-)

Cat-Back exhaust is also good for a great sound, but you won't see much of a performance difference until you up the horsepower a bit more. If you continue into more serious mods and hit around 300 hp, consider headers and an H or X pipe with your cat-backs.
