Which first
Catback or CAI/TB/Plenum first?
I was looking at this -> https://www.rpmoutlet.com/ezRetail/s...hp?msg_id=1617
it's a MAC straight shot intake with 85mm Mass-Air, Accufab 75mm TB, C&L upper intake plenum. I was thinking either that or a K&N FIPK for $200 and getting a Accufab 75mm TB and C&L upper intake plenum combo from the same place for $330.
I was looking at getting a Magnaflow Catback system for $480 otherwise. I figure both are roughly the same price I think I would get more performance from the intake system over the exhaust but the exhaust is something that has to be done from the go for the best results for later mods (at least I think).

RE: Which first
unless you are going to run forced induction get a 70mm t/b... but if you want the 75mm- get the one from rpmoutlet-i am pretty sure that modular depot did a test and the accufab combo gave the most hp gain

RE: Which first
Exhaustg is ALWAYS the best thing to start with. Get a set of Longtubes, a good X pipe and a Magnaflow cat back. You will be really impressed at the power difference you will have afterwards. Cold Air Intake is another good one. WWW.Densecharger.COM
If I were you I wouldnt mess with the plenum or T/B until you get into different internals because just those two being upgraded is only worth about 5 to 10 hp, whuch SUCKS for the amount of money you are going to pay.
Thats just my opinion of how you should go about modding.
