Default Suspension or Intake/Exhaust

Just curious as to what everyones thoughts were as to which should come first, Suspension or Intake and Exhaust?
Because all your suspension upgrades will help you get/keep whatever rwhp/rwt your making to the ground, while intake and exhaust will add more horsepower and torque.
Which would you guys say should be the starting point for modding a 4.6? Because whats power without traction, and whats traction without power?

Heh well almost anyone on this forum would say the same after all, mustangs have the sexiest sound around. But we're talkin performance wise, whats your opinion.

"what's power without traction and traction without power?", sounds like you are going to get both! i went with the intake and exhause first. headers, cams, suspension, and rims are next on the list.[sm=usa.gif]

i say suspension....IDK the GT stock would be loud enough for me for a while...i'd rather have a better riding and handling car first...JMO though

our streets are pretty torn up in my area so thats the reason i'm doing suspension first....plus i just hate the 4x4 look

Get exhaust and springs, due half and half. Then get LCAs/UCAs, shocks and struts and intake at a later time :P
