Default same dilemma here...

i personally don't care to have an aftermarket exhaust, so money seems better spent on fuel pump.

Default Fuel Pump..

It gives amazing improvements in the mid-rpm range where all your daily driving is.

We've got them in stock! And thanks to APR, they're all on sale!

Default fuel pump. you'll need it to realize the full gains of the exhaust anyways.

Default thanks for the input. looks like it'll be the fuel pump now and the exhaust later on this year...

during the holiday sale.

Default Yeah but it doesn't make sense to try to get more HP through a HPFP without getting the HP from..

the opened up exhaust with the APR exhaust specific softwaren first. You'll be making more power but wont get it "out", therefore causing a bottleneck. Do the exhaust THEN the fuel pump.

Default you won't see much power from the exhaust without the pump...

in these cars the bottle neck is the fueling. If you put on the pump with NO exhaust you'll still see gains. If you put on a full exhaust without the pump you hardly see any on maxed out software.
