Your mods will entirely depend on your budget. The more you spend, the better the result.

Being a super 6 it will benefit from a decent exhaust. But a decent exhaust doesn't come cheap. You can get a cheap exhaust, but it won't perform as well as a good one.

"Stage" modifications don't really mean much at all. Certain performance shops label packages as stages but every shop will have different components for their "stages". What you want to do is have an end result in mind. What do you want to achieve? Do you want a fast street car or do you want a fast strip car that you can drive on the street? Think about your goal, then do some research into cost involved, then look at your bank balance to see if it will support that. Or if you aren't able to afford it all at once, do it in bits. Upgrade the things that will handle more power, then upgrade the things that will give you more power.

2000 VX XU6
My XU6 came with rattling cats when I bought it earlier this year and I replaced them with Magna flows from Rob Bliss here in Brisbane.
Gave it a noticeably deeper growl under load and much better performance although I attribute the performance due to the originals being well stuffed.

Annoyed I didn't keep the originals though, I had 2 different cats and thought someone had cheaped out in the past.
That was before I realised it was the pilot vehicle and one of the factory "upgrades". lol
