stall for an auto. One of the best mods you can do.

If you had the 2.73s gears might be a good choice, but with 3.23s you can afford to wait and do other stuff first.

i say dont do the exaust, just go to the local muffler shop and have a cut out welded in for 50 bucks, then do intake if you dont have it, or underdrive pulley and electric water pump.

yeah a cutout is a lot cheaper than a catback and it will make more power

I'd leave the catback as is, and get some longtubes/cutout...either that or a stall.
