Maybe time for a fuel filter? Maybe new pump?
A real mufller, = Something you can look into one side and see out the other, I guess. It would probably take a hamster about 45 minutes to make his way thru a Flowmaster.

Yea, just make sure the CAI isn't 3.5" in diameter and you should be alright. If it's 3.5 or above, you better tune it, before....
Yea, the light flashing is misfire monitor counting the number of times it missing, - not running on all 8. If it does this while after cold start, that isn't a good sign. The plugs are fouling most likely, then burns off the residual fuel, dry's out giving the plug more opportunity to fire. You have an injector issue IMO.

That's dangerous because with that, your a candidate for hydro-lock. And that's never good.

Yea, you have pop the injectors out, push them back up into the rail if they came out, then turn the key to the run position, = KOEO.

Then you monitor/watch the injectors for a few minutes while switched to KOEO.

If the injector drips dribbles or leaks in any way from bottom, -that injector is bad.

Be very careful while messing with the air bag. What I was talking about is the indicator light, if it is burned out you can get a beeping. I think it might be the same with the seat belt light, but I'm not sure.

All you have to do is turn the key to the run position and see if it lights up for a few seconds. If it doesn't then change the bulb in the indicator. If it does light up then the beeping is from something else. Make sure that both, the one in the cluster, and the one to turn off the passenger side work.

If there is an actual air bag issue you should have a code stored. I'm pretty sure that Auto Zone and such can't retrieve those codes though.
