Default Money to spend!! Mod Questions??

Getting ready get some equity from a home sale... Of course after paying off a few bills and sticking some cash and savings i will be able to spend aroung 5 - 6k on some mods for my 2013 F150 Ecoboost. I know that i def would like to have a downpipe, exhaust and intercooler upgrade. Im looking at the kooks catted downpipe, magnaflow turn-down exhaust and fullrace intercooler. What else would y'all recommend? I consider a Intake kit but the way i understand it the stock intake and pipes are good enough.... Im also really considering a 170* thermostat and auxiliary oil cooler? What are the pros and cons to the 170* thermostat? Anything else yall thank i should add to my list of upgrades besides the proper tuning for them?

Thanks

Don't know if you are looking for performance or looks but I would have to say get some Clazzio leather seat covers or a Raptor grille that the member Reider is manufacturing they look awesome. I just got and installed my seat covers and love them they change the entire interior very high quality.

Performance wise, in order of actual HP gains, would suggest tuner, downpipe, catback, intake, intercooler.

I'm always a little leery about mods that MAY affect my warranty.

Had a 01 F250 diesel that I put a Western Diesel exhaust brake on. Had a piston issue, and Ford tried to void my warranty. It got fixed, but, it was a hassle.

Heard someone say the other day that they either did, or almost had their dealer drop their warranty after seeing they had a full race intercooler.

From an audiophile. You need some Focal Utopias up front with a good amp and processor. Throw in a good sub in a custom, built to spec box to go along with those. Depends how much you like music but it's something different to think about.
