Which one first?

Thanks to the refund check I have a few extra $$ to spend. I'm wondering what to do first. I do want to eventually put new a new exhaust system, air intake and SERT. At this time I can only afford to do the pipes or the intake and SERT. A buddy told me that without the pipes the intake and SERT will be somewhat useless because of the stock exhaust system.

I wanted to go with the SERT now because with SERT and a Stage one I figure i'd get more of a jump than with just pipes.

So let me know.

personally i would do the SERT and Intake... you will not get anything on performance... well maybe a bit... but pipes can be found CHEAP! the SERT can not, it is married to the bike you have it in, so once it is in there it is there... get it now you will want/need it down the line

sert and intake. You can always drill the baffle plate on your stock slipons to get more noise and less backpressure.

Get your sert and maybe a cheap set of slip-ons for now. You can always sell the slip-ons later so not out much till you can afford a full exhaust.

I kinda like my stock pipes and the sound of them. I bought the bike used, the pipes LOOK stock, but man, they sound good. Doesn't look like anything has been done to them as far as drilling out baffles, etc. Anyway, I wanna get the SE Heavy Breather and SERT, keeping the stock pipes. What will that do? Anything?
