Yup, it would be exhaust, then intake, then tuner, and then I'd think about putting some tires on it. At least a set of semi-aggressive looking AT's.

Yep I’d do Intake and Exhaust 1st.

Keep a good attitude and don’t be afraid to try something that makes sense to you.

Some people -I won’t mention any names, but they make me wonder how mankind ever got out of the Stone Age with the attitude of “Rock works fine,why shouldwe attach a stick to it?!”

So don't listen to em and Happy Moddin

AT tires and a lift? Thought you said to keep performance and fuel economy in mind? Oh well to each their own. I would go with an exhaust system first, then intake and then a programer. The programer will give you the most bang for your buck though.

if he throws in new gears and has a programmer, doesnt go extreme with lift or tires, it wont affect his fuel economy at all. He can easily run a 3-4 inch lift with 37-38's and still get 14 mpg
