Simple upgrades to consider

[Tolarian Academy]

Hey all,
New member here, but I've had my 2017 GT since 2018, I got a great price on an auto with 3.15 rear gear so I couldn't pass it up even though I wanted a manual. Simple things I've done so far are Roush cold air intake with restriction tube removed and sct x4 tuner with free bama tunes for life, currently have 93 tune on it and am waiting for a flex fuel tune so I can start running e85. I put an MBRP street cat back exhaust before I even had it plated, stupid stock exhaust. Also have shelby 20" wheels with a staggered set up 255 up front and 315's in the rear, wrapped in nitto nt555 g2 tires, planning on going to nt05r street drag tires soon for the rears because it would seem that anything less won't hook well in 1st, no matter how wide it is. With that out of the way, as the title states, I'm looking for simple upgrades or relatively cheap upgrades that pretty much anyone should do to improve the platform. I will also have to clean her up and get the turtle wax out and get some beauty shots of her for here to post soon.

Mid-Pipe, Oil Separator

Is a mid pipe a cat delete? I also forgot that I have an oil separator for the passenger side bank, usually check it about once a month.

No it’s not a cat delete, it deletes the resonator (big ass suitcase). Up to you, makes it louder and frees up some ponies.

the resonator went away with the mbrp cat back system.

My fault, I didn’t see the part where you mentioned the cat-back, whoops.

Lighting upgrades:

Taillight sequencers
Clear or smoked rear side marker lights
LED interior lighting upgrade
Front switchback turn signal bulbs
High power LED reverse light bulb

And +1 on the hood struts.

Hood struts for sure.

struts and lightweight fiberglass hoods are not a good combination, also a strut or struts weigh much more than the stock prop.

taillight sequencers? Doesn't it already do that? I saw somewhere that there front turn ones that sequence from the inside to the outside and I want to get around to finding those, all of the other light upgrades sound good though, thanks!

I think the taillight sequencers give the function to sequence for everything besides the turn signal (unlocking, brake light, etc...)
