Opinions are like you-know-whats, and here's mine:
Get the exhaust before you get the intake. The sound improvement is more pleasurable, and I think the performance gain might be a bit better than just an intake.
Shocks are a good upgrade, but I would get some FM or Racing Beat sway bars first. That and a good alignment will do wonders for your car.
Bum as many rides as you can with modified cars to see what suits you best...
Good luck!
Hey...is there anyone else on the board who has JUST the intake installed w/out the exhaust upgrades?? I'd love to check out your car just to see/hear what it's like before I do this, even though I've got the bug pretty bad right now!;)
Doesn't the NB already get fresh air from forward of the motor with the stock setup?? This just seems like additional plumbing to me?? But I could be wrong. Titus 5 MPH gain on the dyno??? What??Quote:

My 2003 has a snorkel off of the airbox that pulls air in from up under the wheel well where there are slots in the fender liner for air to come in. Not too bad a setup for factory.
If you're after loud & low, give me a ring sometime and I'll take you for a ride, since you're in Plano and all.Quote:

For nice sound but not obnoxious, I'd go with the Racing Beat duals... had them on my '04 and it really sounded nice, but I could still drive down my alley at 2:00am without waking up the neighbors.Quote:

The instructions with the RB kit make it pretty easy. They give you a paper template to mark the hole. You then use a knife (or in my case, a Dremmel tool) to rough out the opening that is about 1/8" too small. Then you use sandpaper to gradually open out the hole to the mark you made.Quote:

That is too cool! I think that's the way I'll go...I had picked out the Dual, but had no idea if I could do it myself...I feel like it's do-able! Thanks!Quote:
