Default Time for Final Decision

I am going to pick one of the two and get them within two weeks. What should I go with?

Not even a contest. The V6 BEGS for a tune and CAI. Biggest bang for the buck, NO QUESTION. After you do this, you'll forget about doing the headers.

I eventually will do both. If I go with the tuner i will go with it for performance, the exhaust will be for the sound. Any more thoughts?

I see you have an auto too. That will benefit big time form a tune. I am in the process of ordering mine right now, can't wait to get rid of that throttle lag!

I am really starting to consider just going with the MRT single axle-back and get a tuner at the same time

I think I would go with the tune and CAI combo... that will help out performance and when you put your exhaust on it will sound better too.

Is throttle lag the same as having to wait 5 seconds for the the tranny to downshift after I drop it into 3rd? unbelievable lag time there and going around corners too.
