well it depends, if i was you id do the whole exhaust at the same time, midpipe, mufflers & headers. then id do intake. unless you already have aftermarket exhaust on there, then go with the intake, intakes going to give u the most noticeable different. all the exhaust does is makes it louder so it just makes you seem like your going faster and it makes you believe you noticed a difference but theres no noticeable diff. lol

the exhaust could give you a noticeable amount of horsepower but its not much just make it feel a little more responsive, that is if you do the whole system

intake off will make some room to play w/ the headers, the mid and catback... doesn't really matter, i'd start intake, put on headers, finish intake and then complete exhaust, but thats just me....
