Default First Mods

I have an 87 Mustang Lx with a bone stock 5.0 & AOD. What are some suggestions as far as first mods go? I was thinking about some ceramic coated shorty headers, cold air intake, and maybe a completely new exhaust system.

Gear install, $150-$400, depends on the place doing the work. But they are worth it...
