Default Next Upgrade?

i have a 3.8l v6 convertable
Just put in a k&n filter with a slp cai, i wanna go faster and sound more badass doing it so what are some of the next upgrades i should buy?
im also only 18 so i dont have thousands of dollars to spend, so cost effective is definatly a benefit.

cat-back exhaust is the next logical step. fairly simple, not thousands of dollars, and it will boost performance and BA-factor slightly

Dynomax or glass packs for a pretty much straight pipe, will be nice and loud but might sound raspy when you get into higher rpms.

Magnaflow, flowmaster, or borla for a more gutteral, lower muscle car sound.. but won't be as all around loud as going straight piped

Listen to different exhaust Clips on Youtube to get your desired tone.

For a v6 go with flowmaster for sound, straight pipes and all that didnt work out for my 3kgt v6. U can lose power and it can mess stuff up. Im gonna switch over to SLP loudmouth 2 here on my camaro but Im not sure how it would sound on a v6.

Get some headers and just run open headers. haha. Not sure how it would sound on a V6, but when I rebuilt my V8 and ran it like that for about a week before i could finish it it sounded mean. hahaha...but also you could not really hear anything else in the car. haha.
