Go for exhaust now.......with intake you will not get as much
gains due to the restricted exhaust..........the exhaust you will
feel right away......then later get the intake.......and because
you already got good exhaust.......you will feel intake even more.
I think that is logical.....reversed you don't feel the gains as much.

If you can only do one or the other I suggest getting the exhaust done...the gains are a lot more noticable.

Get a your magnaflow catted X but i'd get long tubes for sure if you plan on making any kind of power out of them.. Shorties are a waste of time and money IMHO and many people have confirmed this for me. With these two you will see 20+rwhp gains, your intake will give you around 6.. oh yah, and exhaust makes the car sound MEAN, worth that alone, the power makes it even better!
