Default Which first, stall or headers?

Hello, well its about time to start getting some parts for my TA to put in while shes garaged for the winter. I have 2 mods i really want to do, jsut dont know which one to do first, even though it really doesnt matter. I am going to try and ask for one for christmas to help save me some money, but both mods are pretty expensive and not sure if id be able to get them.

1.) Pacesetter Headers, ORY

2.) Fuddle 4000 2.4STR , Trans-go shift kit, BM 24k cooler, trans temp gauge

Im figuring since both mods require more stuff like the headers need the ory, maybe ask for the headers, then buy the ORY myself as i know i cant get both since i dont have that big of a x-mas. Which one should i buy first?

sup man. as long as i have been searching this site. everybody says the first mod you should do for an auto is a stall. but i would save up and get both installed especially since your looking into pacesetters which are pretty cheap. but i would go with a stall. im also debating which stall to get. i want something atleast a 3200 for a daily driver all street.

haha just curious. Would it be a lot easier if i waited until i got both and install them at the same time? Like does installing the stall require exhaust removal or anything?

Definitely go for the stall first if you're looking to make a difference on the car. Headers help sound a ton and pick up some power, but nothing like a stall does for the car.

Yep it would definatly be the easiest to install them both at the same time. I'm waiting to get all of my parts before I install anything, no sense in ripping it apart several times you do have all winter.
