Looks like a reasonable package to me...If you in fact want each of those items.

You can buy it cheaper, there are LM kits for sale here and you can get the flow pack seperate. It's cheap.

Personally I would piece my own package together. If' you're bone stock that cat-back will sound good but once you go LTs and O/R Y, Imo it's too raspy and just a bunch of noise.

The Ram air is ok but not complete. I like Fast Toys as it extends all the way to the bottom and they provide a way to seal off the ram air for those rainy days.

The SLP lid is good and fit well, as most will say...A lid is a lid is a lid!

The Smooth bellow I have heard good and bad about it, just go to Home Depot, get some tubing and make your own.

I've heard it's better to keep the stock air filter over the K&N piece due to people over oiling it's your $30-40 Bucks....

If I were you I'd do this..

Hooker or Magnaflow Catback [ 389.99 ] - a Sponser can give you a better price
Fast Toys Ram Air [ 181.99 ]
Home Depot Smooth Bellow [ 7.00 ]
Paper filter [ 5.00-10.00? ]
SLP Lid [ 94-100.00 ] From one of our sponsers

Brings you to 683.98 if you dont ask for a hook up from our sponsers and you'll have a better sounding car once you go LTs and O/R Y
