yes what he said you can get intake stuff later. This way you gonna feel the exhaust right away plus later it will help the intake mods even more. Other way you may not feel the intake as much until you get the exhaust then you feel more. This way you get happy from both at seperate times.

plenum/tb is easier to install and cheaper than exhaust... but some performance parts come with a price.. go with headers man.. and make it long tubes if you can

I'd recommend X or H pipe and gears only because of cost...

...How much are LTs and how much did they cost to install (or did you do them yourself). I thought there were pretty expensive. Also I've heard you need a tune done after you don the longtubes, at least that's what most Mach 1 owners are experiencing...that makes me lead to believe they aren't that great of a bang for the buck mod. I'm still half alseep though so I might just be FOS.

Go with 4.10's first. You'll feel the 4.10's more than you'll feel the exhaust work. Plus, it's cheaper. I'd also say do the plenum before the exhaust, because you'll want a dyno tune after long tubes. That way, you'll have the intake plenum already there.
