Default First Performance Mods

Okay... so I'm got my audio system where I want it so far. I'm going to wait on the substage I think. So what would you do first performance wise? Exhaust, CAI, Tuner... simple bolt on mods first. I figure approximately 200-300 dollars to spend perhaps.

Let me rephrase. I'm willing to spend 200-300 on one mod. xD I thought about a dual Borla exhaust to get rid of that horrible straight pipe. Straight pipe noisy.
