Default 3.73's vs LT headers

I have a 99TA with a SY3500 and I was looking for a little advice on the which of the two should I go with first. Just looking for bang for the buck. So what do you guys think, the gears or the headers?

Personally, I'd go with the headers. I think getting the exhaust to flow better is more important than gears. Now if you had asked whether you should buy a new rear or headers, then I would have said new rear. Good luck!

assuming you have the 3.23's to begin with, I'd go headers.

Yes I do have 323's in now but my best 60' has been about 1.97 on nitto drags
