Got the 4:10's done today and she feels a somewhat quicker. Was maybe expecting a little more. Some tire spin but I just bought new tires. Going to take it to the track soon.
What's next?? Headers and exhaust? Whats the best bang for buck??

Boost.
Preferably supercharger, but I guess turbos are cool too.
What’s your budget?
A different car is the best bang for your buck lol, boost is better but these cars are bricks man. Bricks that look sexy as hell.
300A Black
4:10 gears, Flowmaster 44's with rear cat delete, SW headers with 3 inch cats to 2.5 custom h. 3500 stall, Twisted synergy dyno tune, addco f/r , rear control arms, Novi 1200 air to air with the fixings.
3500 stall converter would be my vote.
Same. I've been doing this for 2 years on this car.
Gotta keep that balance.
When I was just getting on this journey, I started with 410s and a tune. I've done all the mods from that to forced induction. While it's no drag car, it is what I was originally wanting without having a direct goal in the first place . If the gears and tune didn't impress you, then start saving now for a blower. Not very many single mods will give you that "this is enough" feeling like boost. 1200 dollar headers and x pipe seemed like a waste of money until the blower. Then all those supporting mods made sense. A few horsepower here and there until the boost, then they all become worth the investment.
And Marty has been there every step of the way. This Frankenstein wouldn't be a thing without a great tuner. So many times I've had little issues here and there and his patients as solid as his skills.
Now from my point of view I was looking for a fast 4 door family rig. I didn't start with a goal or budget in mind. Just a loose idea. Going back to the beginning I would have started the supercharger route earlier. Then if it was almost enough, added headers and the other mods to squeeze out what I could.
Good luck on your journey

If you really want to do the exhaust I’d say do the SW Longtubes and leave the cat back factory. That will cost you around $1400 for the catted LTs and provide some solid gains and more sound. Bang for the buck? Probably not.
