Need opinions for mods..

Well I got a nice chunk of money back for my taxes and have enough to pay off my debts AND get some work done to the SVX... I have a few choices but not all the money in the world...

(Choice ONE) Exhaust = More expensive but worth it in the long run
I was very impressed with the electronic cut out and wanted to get a new exhaust system so I went to OT and he quoted me a very reasonable price for the work that has to be done plus the materials. It would be a great addition to the car and not only add a flashy cut out so I can make noise when I want but it would be a nice HP gain as well and one more thing off my list of things to do to the car.

(Choice TWO) Hood w/ scoop + mad muffler mod = Less expensive but looks great and sounds awesome
I've been wanting a Class Glass fiberglass hood with a scoop or a carbon fiber hood with a scoop since I first saw them. Also, when I told OT I was interested in getting one he suggested instead of me doing the entire exhaust that I could get the "Mad Muffler Mod" until I had the funds to do the rest of the exhaust. It's no cut out and it's still stock but it would add some performance upgrades as well as sound that I'd like.

So, what it's coming down to is that I could either get an entirely new exhaust system with a cut out OR I could get the mad muffler mod with a fiberglass hood w/ scoop.... Which should it be? (I'd love feedback)

Here's the layout for the exhaust and some pics of the hood..
