which do i buy first???

ive got the gmpp performance exhaust and im ready to do another mod. im debating between two things, the injen cai and the cobalt extruded honed manifold from crateenginedepot.com. both mods are around the same price, and i do plan on putting both of them on that car, but im not made of money and can only afford to do one at a time. so the question i ask is which one should i get first?

I'd say the intake, you'll see a better gain with that over the GM manifold.

youll get about the same HP from each.

I got more gains from my header than I did my intake but they both felt relatively the same on the butt dyno.

Though I would still get the header/manifold first...

manifold. i really don't think those CAI's do anything except make the blower louder, but u don't have a blower so get the manifold.
