225qc currently stock. what to do first, exhaust or chip?

Want more go. Exhaust, chip, dv, FMIC are all on the radar screen. But need to take baby steps so the wife doesn't melt down.

TIA

Bang for the buck...Chip hands down...the exhaust just opens up the torque band

with maybe a couple HP..exhaust is worth it but I had a chip for almost a year without exhaust (wife lol)

OK, which chip?

I hear a lot of people having problems with the GIAC, so I am leaning towards APR or ABT. Thoughts?

Also, will a Forge DV buy me any noticable perf gains?

APR or Revo- DV does not give any real performance gains

Bzzzz.... ALL wrong.. Definitely do your exhaust first. Car has to breathe!

This is true of any car. Let it breathe first. The turbo will spool much quicker and the power will be much better. Getting hot exhuast gasses out quickly is job #1.
