Default Which mod first?

Just out of curiousity, which would be the best mod to do first? Adding a cold air intake or exhaust. I want to do both at the same time, but doesn't look like I will be able to. Thanx in advance for the input.

Do the exhaust first since the cold air intake doesn't benefit the truck but looks. At least you can some hp's and sound from the exhaust.

IMO , the tuner is the best bang for the buck , more HP , TQ and new shift point (from 5500 to 6300 , 1st & 2nd gear) , then exhaust to hear it , cai is also very fun it gives HP and killer sound when combined with exhaust. I have a Borla cat-back , Mopar CAI (GREAT QUALITY) and Superchip tuner.
I can give a ride for their money at those%$/!!"&* 2000 Civic SI[sm=shootshoot.gif] lot of fun [sm=lol.gif].
Around 16-17 mpg average on daily commuting .
Hope it help

Definately get an exhaust first. The intake will put more air in the motor and if you can't get it out then it won't do much.

Let that motor BREATH!
