If your tranny will still shift and you can live with it, I would go with exhaust.  I have a decent amount done to my car and my 2nd gear is shit also.  BTW, I hope you know that a tranny rebuild (TRE) will cost signifigantly more than exhaust.

Welcome to the site.
From experience, if you plan on racing it in any form, you want a perfect tranny. Racing it otherwise will be pointless. If it grinds at high rpm into any gear. Rebuild a tranny. Having a local rebuild a tranny with TRE parts will only cost about 150% total more than a full turboback exhaust. With a shitty tranny that wouldn't go into 2nd gear at all, I raced it, ran 14.5's high 13's, etc... at 105-106 mph. With a mint tranny, I cut a second off of that and ran a 12.6 at 107.9. I'll let you decide what's more important to you.
