IMHO, Start with exhaust . It is a good per dollar mod, but every engine mod you do later will benefit from the better flowing exhaust too!

I agree. The stock exhaust setup with the stock cat is VERY restrictive. Even if you get a high flow cat, it's still restrictive. If you can go true duals, then do that first. Depending on what power you are wanting, you can make the decision on headers. The stock ram's horn style manifolds are good up to about 325HP. Timing curve is one of the cheapest mods you can do and will gain quite a bit too. If you go with true dual exhaust, and set up your timing curve and carb properly, you could gain about 30 or 40 RWHP. No joke. I know because I did it.
