Welcome to the site! For a GT I'd recommend a cold air intake and a 2.5" downpipe to start off with. There are more advanced things that you can do for more power but those are two most basic ones to get you going.

Read the FAQ, it will have just about everything you need to know. Also, check out ZZP tech articles. Welcome! like he just said, get those first. How much are you looking to spend? A DIY cai would help alot too, it can be had for about 50 bucks total, kit from ebay and then a 9" filter from PepBoys or similar.

im going with 98greengt. start off with that, its more into what you like, if your more into show go with rims, but the stock rims are pretty good, 18's are bigg enough for performance, i would with a PCM, and maybe some clear turns to make it look good, maybe tint those tails.
