Default brakes or exhaust?

I'm stuck in a tough decision. My stock bodied white sc3 already had front TT brakes. If you had to pick either rear TT upgrades or a full dual catback JDM tyte exhaust, what would you do? I'm getting the rears drilled, slotted and loaded for the same rice as apexi WS catback. Which would turn heads more?

exhaust would turn heads more, but personally I would finish the brake upgrade with rear brakes allthough you don't really need it sicne the front brakes are more important.

I say upgrade the brakes first, for some reason I'm a little uneasy about the stock SC brakes. Otherwise if you're gonna get the exhaust get some SS brake lines to improve the feel

BTW where are you picking up the A'PEXi WS exhaust from?

Rear brakes aren't going to do you much good unless you want to have them for the show ability of them. GO for exhaust or the turbo kit.
