Default Best route for induction

Hello,

New to the forum, i picked up a black 04 CTS-V last month. It already has cat back corsa, amung other things. Im about to take it to get kooks headers, all the nessisary front pipping with hf cats, a btr stage 4 cam, titanium rods and all the other supporting internals with a tune. However, i feel like im doing the entire exaust route and nothing for intake.

My question is, what do yall recommend for intake? Im planning in staying NA for awhile. Is it rven worth doing anything? I heard the stock ls6 intake is pretty good. Thanks in advance

So the ls6 manifold is pretty much best bang for the buck. Whats the most restrictive part in the system? The air box? So is nothing worth upgrading if im stating NA?

The truck manifolds are the best bang for the buck. If you already have the LS6, that's a different story.
