The oh so famous muffler delete. That won’t really net you any gains. Look into the performance thread and you will find plenty of answers. Ppe headers is a great start.

I would recommend a catless 2.5" midpipe and tune before headers. I was able to notice a difference with a tune, I did not notice gains from headers.
