R56 Cold Air Intake Question.

Cold Air Intake Question.
So I'm looking at installing a CAI system or exhaust on my R56 Justa and I have a few questions that I can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for online because all the post are really old. Should I install exhaust first or a CAI system? If CAI is ok to do first what system should I purchase? I'm ok with a loud intake but performance is the main reason for the install.
Thanks for the help.

Aem cai
I went with the AEM CAI. It's a quality kit. I didn't feel any huge power gains but I do like the subtle turbo whine and BOV. If you go with that kit check autoanything.com. Get on their mailing list. They always send out coupons. I was able to get 20% off. Also check the vendors on this site as they might have it on sale. Good luck with your upgrading!

Go with the DDMworks Intake we dyno tested it and proved it made power, plus you get good throttle response improvement and a cool sound.
The Intake gives you more gain than the exhaust so start with it.

***Update*** I installed my DDM intake last night and so far I'm really happy with it. WayMotorWorks shipped it the next day and I received it 3 days later. Which I thought was pretty fast. It was a simple install other than my misunderstanding of what DDM considered the lid. Now I'm wondering if there is any other place to purchase the intake tube to delete the silencer box other than VIP.
I'm pretty sure it's just me... But because the car sounds faster, I feel like it has better throttle response and quicker acceleration. Worth the money for the sound even if it doesn't help performance much.
Thanks again for your help. Any other upgrades recommended?

No reason. I was just curious if there was other options. I would prefer to replace the tube from start to finish if that makes since. It's surprising to me that only one company makes it. I may have to go that direction if there is nothing more.

For your consideration, this is how I fitted the DDM and AirVIP:
