stillen gen 3 for sure... get borla if you want gains... that's proven to have the most on the dyno so far... don't get test pipes unless you're going FI... go HFC...

borla is a catback... so there is no cat for borla, replace the stock cats with berk or fi hfcs... you won't go wrong with either but many people have had nightmares with CEL lights and what not... just research and read reviews before you put them on

I'll probably get slammed for saying this as there seems to be real strong opinions in each camp, but you might want to put some miles (say about 1200 as in the break-in recommendation) on the car first before changing intakes, exhausts, cats. Enjoy!

You will probably beat me. Over 4 months and not a 1000 miles yet. it only during good weather.
