What would you choose???

My wife has told me I can buy one of the following:
A; Y-pipe and high flow cat
B; VB mod and tranny cooler
Basically I have up to $500. to spend on my car. The ypipe is probably what I'll do, but any other ideas are appreciated. I drive an '01 auto W/ exhaust(catback), intake, a few other BS mods.

For $500 get a Cattman ypipe and you'll probably still have enough left for the tranny cooler...

y-pipe is the single best performance mod for the 3.0. this shouldnt even be a question.

<---suprised irish didnt try and talk you into suspension mods instead

admiting that you need your wife's permission to mod your car FTL!!!!

With $500, get a Warpspeed Y pipe($199) http://www.warpspeedperformance.com and a Weapon R intake ($128) http://www.autopartswarehouse.com and still have $170 to search for a universal tranny cooler. http://www.autoanything.com/coolers/20A50671A1.aspx

Irish knows I've already done suspension mods

You must not be married (clown puncher) FTL!!! but single = more $$$ for car FTW!!!

If i'm going to do the cooler I want it done w/ the VB mod

You have to plan that one out. Set something up nice for her like a day at the spa or something. This way you can get something for your car with no hassle.
