go for the exhaust. In my opinion Ti is not worth it. I would get a non Ti exhaust, and put the dough you save towards the wheels when you are ready.
What wheels are you considering? |

What's the average gains from an exhaust?
Getting rid of unsprung weight does have measurable performance gains.

if you after track or track like-performance then wheels, wheels, wheels. Is a "Ti" exhaust really all ti or just the tips, just for looks then right, since the weight is nearly equal to an all stainless system.
if it's for looks and noise, then best to consult your hair stylist. |

I vote for a nice set of light weight wheels. Titanium tends to crack over time.
