Which to do First

Hey everyone, I just had a quick opinion question for yall. I've got an '05 6.0 and a scmt tuner. I am looking to add 4 in exhaust (MBRP) and gauges. Now, if you had the get one before the other, would you get the gauges first or the exhaust? Only have the spending money for one or the other right now. Thanks - Blake

bkridel,


ALWAYS GAUGES first, it's a CYA thing and the best way to see your operating temps change etc.
