Default Intake Or Exhaust?

I am thinking of buying both, but what should i get first?? I am waiting on someones pm to buy the HKS hi power, and i am thinking of buying the fuitsu intake. Should i just buy the Intake first? because the other guy with the Hks is not pming me back.

+1... but there is a much-documented intake on here that provides most bang-for-the-buck....

Your exhaust will give you more power (that would be first in my book), but second would be an intake. Either way, you'd want both.

Really it comes down to how much you want to spend at this particular time, the exhaust is going to run you much more then the intake. You will in fact get more out of the exhaust though.

btw... *cough*weapon-r intake*cough*

With high gas prices ur better off with exhaust since its used in lower RPMS intake kicks in around 3500-WOT. Im also debatin on what intake to get.

I had both intake-only and exhaust-only on my car. There is a reason why I kept the exhaust and sold the intake. However I didn't buy it for performance. I did it more for the sound and the exhaust definitely it more enjoyable.

You'll need to add a couple of cylinders to fix that.
