Default Moes Ported TB or BBK headers?

I've almost got the wife convinced I should buy something else for the truck and the Moes 85mm ported throttle body is getting rave reviews. However, the BBK shorty headers are supposed to be ready soon...but they keep getting pushed back. Should I give in to my need for instant gratification or wait for the headers? With the holidays and some planned remodeling at home coming up I can't do both.

Will the BBK's be coated?

No coating. My other headers weren't coated and were fine.

I don't care about strip performance so LTs aren't necessary.

What gives the most performance and/or stunning visual effect?

I don't believe you can see the t/b from under your massive air filter system.

Thats true but lately I've only focused on exterior mods and want to do either performance or audio...and audio is a slippery slope for me. My main concern is bang for buck on these two.

Headers will be the best bang for your buck. Then you can do the TB when your wife's not looking
