Depends on how much money you have? I would go with headers first, with the rest of the exhaust done soon if not already. What gear do you have now?

If you have a limited budget, then you might as well get something that you cal feel. Headers may help free up a couple ponies, but you're not going to be able to feel it like you can with gears. And you're pretty much wasting your money unless you can get full exhaust anyway.

Dropping in a set of 3.73s or even 4.10s is usually one of the first things people do.

If it is stock, do the gears first. The popular ratio's are 3.55 or 3.73's.

Gears without a doubt.

Headers won't get you much, unless you're looking to do other mods to support it.

Do you have an x, or h pipe?
