Headers or cat back which do i buy first???

Okay ive got enough money to only buy 1 either the hooker cat back or the Hedman Headers 1 5/8 primaries with 3inch y pipe.Dont know which to buy first.Which will give me the biggest hp gain im guessing the headers.And i have a flowmaster muffler but i still have the stock tail pipe thats 2 1/4 i think.

If you are itching to do a mod get the cat-back. Get the one for your car and it will hook up right to your cat in a couple hours of work. The headers will have a y-pipe bigger then the rest of your exhaust so you will have to have a reducer put on which costs more money and takes more time. But if you can wait, and save your money, you can buy all 3" stuff right out of the catalouge and have it all bolt with together.

Try a bank. They have these "savings account" things. They work well. You will be happier if you do it all at the sametime.
