Specs? but out of them three no matter what you have, do exhaust first. Then intake. Then tuner, and for that price you could just as well get a custom gryphon (Edge with custom tunes) and have the place that writes the tunes compensate for your mods. In any way you do it, its better to tune after you have done your engine mods.

1) Go with a Gyphon CS/CTS if you plan on doing the intake, etc.
2) Don't waste your money on a pre fabbed cat back system. You can piece together a system and get it welded in much cheaper.
3) Gotts mod and a good filter.
Start with the Gotts mod, then order the programmer and custom tunes. Cat back exhaust can be last as it doesn't need adjusted for in tuning.

They talked about this on Gears a couple weeks ago.

True exhaust shop setups are much cheaper but I doubt you'll be getting any mandrel bends. Instead you'll have those nifty little wrinkles in each turn which are great areas for condensation to form and corrode your tubing. Those c-clamps do the same thing, creating an area for condensation to form. Corrosion shortens the life. You get what you pay for. Find a reputable company with a solid warranty.
