KKM intake -no
pro-flow -no
EH intake manifold -not worth the money
63mm TB -no
bosal catback -not worth the money
MSDS headers -yes
Your best bet is the homeade intake setup(big K&N[ru-3530], a maf adapter and a homade heatsheild).The total cost is around $60. There is all kinds of info on the forums about why this is the best setup to use.
The majority of the people who have gone with bigger MAF's and TB's have reported a loss. Your best bet is to keep the stock SVT MAF and optimize the stock throttle. There is a how to for this on the main page.
The upper intake just isn't worth the $350 price tag IMO.
You best bang for the buck as far as catbacks would be the trubendz system. I think it runs in the $ 300-350 range with your choice of mufflers.
The MSDS headers are definately worth it.
