Wheels = Wow Factor
Intake = a few more ponies
Exhaust = Sound Factor - the catback is probably the least restrictive part!

Which do you enjoy most... driving your car or looking at it (and accepting compliments on it)? Answer that and you have the answer to your question.
I lean towards mods that I see/hear/feel while driving.

Wheels first and then exhaust, wheels get the most positive comments unless you have a FI system like I do and then the whole car is a statement
