For performance gains on a stock motor, nope. Sorry.
If you plan a split port 3L in the future, or forced induction, they'll come in handy. But without the heavy breathing SVT cams they really don't add much to the mix on a 2.5L normally aspirated motor. Frankly, for performance the SVT cams are the things to have, the UIM is more an aesthetic mod without the cams (and tuning).
I do love the look of that SVT manifold though. It is a beautiful thing. 
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

AHH! save yourself $200 and order the K&N stated above from www.ajusa.com (usually cheapest for K&N) and a MAF adaptor from www.spmotorsports.com or from a local car store (the might carry em)

trust me, the SVT exhaust is bascially the best way to go besides getting a custom made one. It sounds great...lower rumble sound at idle and you can't tell the difference at highway speeds....unless you downshift and hit the gas. VERY easy to hook up as well. Revs quicker up top as well. And if you don't like the sound, get new mufflers put on it.

this is my recom. intake...if you want a true cold air intake that is,yes its requires some work,but the best mods for this car do...i agree,the svt intake for a non svt is a great mod

i would sell the car and pick your self up an svt. For all the money u are willing to dump into it. Svt's are being sold real cheap these days!!
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

KEEP THE STOCK BOX! I failed visual for having a KKM.... it's a freaking cone filter! The car passed smog with flying colors, but the ass failed me for that... I had another place that wouldn't even run it with that filter on.
