I'm going to get a Magnaflow 14" Si / Do, My next question is, will it make a performance difference to get a K$N or Airaid intake? and if so which one is better recomended, Also will anything need to be re-Calibrated, Re-tuned? with these items? Thanks for the help

Its always best to get a custom tune after an intake, the cat-back will be fine as is, and the intake will be alright, but like I said for every bit of power thats stuff hidden, a custom tune will unleash it.

The FIPK intake is one of the better model K&Ns.

look in the section for "chips, tuners and programing" in the forums. $$$ depends on what you go with. $400 or so is about the amount that would but a nice tuner. im looking into it myself.

if you do the exhaust itself you dont need to recalibrate or tune anything. But like fella and darren said if you put the intake on then go with the tune.

Get in touch with someone who does custom tunes and discuss it with him and see what they can do.
