Ok guys I have underdrive pulleys, CAI, w/ stock 3.08 gears. I cant decide between catback+x pipe, or a new trickflow intake. My question is will the intake produce more hp on the stock exhaust then if I went stock intake, and new exhaust?

I think the intake would give you more horse, but I would go for the exhaust first. Trust me, you'll love the sound!

I would make gears my first priority cuz you want the torque to get off the line. Just my

Actually I would replace those 3.08's with some 3.73's, then get yourself the exhaust and subframe connectors!

Gears. Trust me, you have no idea how bad the stock gears are until you change them out.

Gears, were my first choice and WOW. huge difference. I recently did the upper and lower intkae and throttle body, the best part of that was I got a wider smoother power
band then I did headers, off road h-pipe and flowmasters. the exhaust help ALOT around 4,500 and up feels like I lost a little torque but it more than makes up for it on the top end, but I would still do gears first.

The intake would probably give you the more HP's compared to the new exhaust, but I have to go with the Majority on this one. Get Gears it's by far the best mod to a stock stang.

I can't comment on going from 3.08's to 3.73's, however going from 2.73's to 3.73's is a wonderful experience. Before the installation of the 3.73's my car was pretty boring even with the full exhaust, and now I can't get enough of driving it. You would think it would get old after a few thousand miles (more like 7k), but it doesn't. It's still fun to drive.

another vote for gears. Then I would do exhaust. And inkake last. The intake will get you the most power but it costs more and there is nothing better than a good sounding stang.
