With all that power you should consider how your going to stop...maybe up grade your brakes. If you don't want to then I would suggest improving your handling ie RSB and FSTB.

If I were you, I would get a MEVI with the ECU upgarde. With those mods, your Max will be pretty fast. By the way, please turn off your CAP LOCK.

JWT ECU, then MEVI. No need for catback. I think it's just a waste of money and not worth it for the little performance it yields. That's if you wanna go fast.

But if you wanna handle better, you definetely need a rsb and fstb. Then maybe springs, struts, and sticky tires.

no i hope you're kidding if you think a muffler is going to make you go faster.

you've done the major n/a performance upgrades...time to do suspension or brakes like someone already mentioned.

you will gain so little from the mods you mentioned.

i think the MEVI and the ECU is not worth it, get nitrous or if you got the money get boost.

Power is useless without control of it (slight exaggeration but not far from it).

Performance springs/shocks to reduce weight transfer off your front wheels to rear ones will get more "power transfer" from engine to asphalt. Ditto with nice tires.

Investing in an effective set of brake pads is good for slowing you down when you're booting along at a good clip & some ding-a-ling unexpectedly cuts in front you & you have no "escape path".
