What engine and transmission?

Exhaust is a good starting point. You can also get an intake and chip. Those three will provide noticeable gains together.

Start with the tornado.........JK

No, you really should start from square one and get a tune-up with new spark plugs and wires. This needs to go down before add-ons. Then plop a performance air filter in there and you should see an improvement right away.

Our K&N air filters:

And then work up to getting a Volant intake system, great product for added hp and torque:
