Smile best option:73mm throttle body or a roush exhaust??

which one will be the best option for my first mod. i cant do both right now,so i can only pick one. if i was going to install the throttle body. would that give me a louder factory exhaust sound because it is increasing the air flow?? need good advice. thanks guys for helping out the new kid on the block

if you want to be louder than go with the exhaust.

plus will the throttle body even fit with the stock intake since the throttle body is a bigger size?

Screw the Throttlebody, go for the exhaust!

Not going to see really much gain from either really. Going to see a performance gain with a cold air intake and tune.

Depending on what kind of exhaust setup your dealing with. An axle back system is only really going to change sound. Won't see much improvement until you do longtube headers, mid pipe but if you go that route I would go cat back exhaust system at that point.

If you want show and no go, get the axle backs, I have both, and the throttle body really did wake up my car from what it was.

I think the other posts capture it. Do you want sound or a little improved lower end torque.
