You need both of those mods & then A lot more!
Catback and tires. I have the FTBR kit and it is a hellava upgrade but it is expensive labor wise. Ford Racing has a nice Diff cover now so you might want to check that out if you decide to go bushing's.
Catback is a top 4 basic mod do that with x and subframes and an intake.
IRS BF brace, CatBack, and CAI. Once you start planning more performance mods, then FTBR package.
Catback and BF IRS brace at the same time. Bushings later on.
Since no one has said it....
Catback, IRS brace, JLT.
Or find someone to swap and get rid of the IRS (free!) and then get you a solid rear exhaust, intake, and MMFLSCFs.

I'd go with the exhaust and IRS brace/New cover, ftbr kit, mmflsc. Has your coolant ever been flushed? Might want to consider a Reische 170 T-Stat, if you don't already have one. Like others have said, the list is endless.
I would do the catback ! Unless have bad wheel hop , but you can get a set of nitto 555rs keep pressure between 15-20 and should b fine !
As someone who has done just about EVERY mod you can think of, I would say if given the choice, the exhaust wins every time. The reason being what others have already said. Part of the enjoyment of this car comes from the visceral sound, and just driving it - not just doing wheelstands, and ripping your tires apart. If powerbraking, and crap like that is your thing, then by all means do the suspension first, but if you just enjoy it on the street, then the easily installed catback will net you the most enjoyment for your dollars spent. I would recommend doing the LPW cover for the rear over the BF brace any day (I have owned both). The BF brace is decent, but is really only a bandaid, where buying a stronger cover is more of a positive fix inmo, and the cost difference is negligible anyway. Installing the new cover will also give you the opportunity to not only change the oil in the diff, and re-seal everything, but also give you a nice built in drain plug to make future oil changes simple. The stock cover has no provision for draining, so you either have to remove the cover, or pump the oil out with small diameter tubing, which never gets it out all the way. Definitely have the FTBR bushings on your short list of upgrades, though, right after subframe connectors.;-)
Since you have to drop the exhaust to do the bushings I switched out my exhaust the same time I did my FTBR bushings.
Patience more often than not, has it's advantages.

Exhaust sounds cooler. Lol
