What do you guys suggest? I daily drive with about 80% highway time for about 30 mins.
I have all of those. I went with the header and tune first. I would recommend you do the same, you'll love the sound your car makes and the difference of drivability from the tune. From then on if you want more acceleration, the gears are for you.

After gears this car is pretty quick. Feels like a different car man. I do lots of highway and its fine. Effortless acceleration is a huge plus

Edit: To put things into perspective, before I had the gears I could slam the throttle at any rpm in 1st and 2nd gear and most of the time TC wouldn't come on. After the gears I have TC flicker all the time if I'm not being light on throttle. The torque down low is verry nice around town.
