Default Thinking about some upgrades on my 2005 4.0L V6

Okay so I have a few things done to my car already as many of you know (if you don't, see my garage). For anyone not familiar, it's a 2005 4.0L V6 with a GT front end conversion plus a few other little goodies. I'm thinking of buying something for my car and would like to get peoples thoughts/opinions...who better to ask than my NJStangers peeps

I can either get an X or H-pipe to complete my true dual exhaust conversion - I have the over-axle pipes and mufflers already, so this one part I need will run me around $120 on AM (that's without the discount).
Then I just have to get it installed, not sure of the cost of that yet since the X/H-pipe needs to be welded to the pipes right after the cats (which have to be cut). At least that's how my dad is making me do it, lol.

Or I can get the CDC Classic chin spoiler to add on to my GT front end, giving it a nicer look (I love the GT front already, this would just add to it) - that's gonna run me between $170-200 on CJ Pony Parts or AM (again w/o discount(s)).

Which would you guys choose first? I am eventually going to do both lol. And no, Dan, I'm not doing a roll cage :P

if your going for looks, i'd say the chin spoiler, but if you want it to sound a little evil, go with the x-pipe..i'm leaning more towards the x-pipe gina, lol

X Pipe definitely, there's a good shop in mahwah that welded mine together.....if you use the FRRP one and don't have it welded, it will rather like it did on mine for a year. Cost me just $100 bucks or two to weld it up, then all you need is over axles(probably a ton lying around in members' garages) and mufflers.

I'd go with the x pipe as well.

Just so you know, there's no link to your garage. You may have to remake it.

Oh right, I should do that haha...forgot I had to remake it. I'm leaning toward the exhaust too - I do have a majority of the parts. I can always add the chin spoiler on later.
