Exhaust or Pulley

I dont know what I want to do first. Should I get my exhaust first and then when I get the money get a pulley and injectors, or should I get the pulley/injectors then exhaust? Which ever one I get Im gonna have to wait probably til next spring to get the other, so what should it be?

what size pulley do you want that has a lot to do with it to. if you just want like a 3.0 and 42.5's go for that first but if your going smaller just get the exhaust first

I'd do the exhaust first. May get better gas mileage to help pay for the other stuff.

i went with the pulley and injectors first, i am just fine but the guy that tunes my car has said that my exhaust is officially his enemy so i would say its an either or kind of thing.

Well I just got a raise at work so Ive decided to go with the exhaust and get engine/tranny mounts, h/e and the dual pass end plate. That is just for this year...next year is another story.

theres no exhaust that will sound good, period. so make the blower as loud as possible so you dont have to listen to that horrible exhaust sound.
