Downpipe $250 shipped or something, cutout was under $100 for install/part. They make a pretty good difference, according to my traps i picked up at least a good 5mph in the quarter. I have the stock downpipe on and cutout capped up right now and it does make a difference in seat of the pants feel.

Hogan performance for the downpipe
Summit racing for the cutout.

I still have the stock intake so I can't comment on that.

First thing I did and made a noticable difference was a cold air intake. I won't say one brand is better than another. I have the K&N one and I am happy with it.

After that, I would say exhaust, downpipe.

You could probably do all of those things for $1K

I sold my car and i have this cold air intake I'll let go for around $120, and that is a K&N Xstream filter. Big improvement in sound and performance. All ready to bolt right up.
