I would say buy either a cat back or SCT Xcal 2....(Granted you will need a little more money for both)

If he's on a budget he should get the energy suspension inserts. They are just as good.VF Rear mount......$100 from newedge

I'd agree with pzev04boy. Pick up the inserts instead of the full mount, and spend the cash saved on getting a Steeda Tri-Ax instead of an FC shifter.

Oh, you'll love it even more with Azenis.
If you're buying RT-215s, get the 215 section width instead of the 205. The 205 will muck up your final gear ratio just enough to be noticeable.

Awwrightey, guys; two things:
195, 205, 215 are not series; they are section widths.
Section width X Aspect Ratio (..or series; 40, 45, 50, 55, etc...) = Overall Diameter which has a huge effect on the car's Final Drive Ratio (ring and pinion, ring and pinion + overdrive ratio).
Aspect Ratio (series) is expressed as a percentage of section width as sidewall height.
Pitch's observation that a 205 is shorter than a 215 is valid, but not without considering each tire's series, or aspect ratio which in this particular cause is either 40 and/or 45.
3/10, or .3 inch change in overall tire diameter can make a noticeable difference with how the car feels under acceleration.
As an example, here are the different overall diameters for four combos of 205, 215, 40 and 45:
205/40-17...23.5"
205/45-17...24.2"
215/40-17...23.9"
215/45-17...24.6" OE SVT size
FocusSTGuy, you'll love the improvement in spring rate; the SVT springs are 10% stiffer in front and 20% stiffer in the rear than the springs that come on your car.
