did you get custom tunes with your cobb, or are you running the tunes from cobb? if your running the cobb tunes get some custom ones else, up grade the suspension next.

sell the k&n typhoon and get either a AEM cold air intake, or go back to OEM and put a drop in k&n filter.

BHR Ignition and BHR Midpipe.

I would do the Axial Flow short throw before those if you have a 6 speed.

You mostly have exhaust upgrades. Do the suspension next.

Get BHR kit like mentioned.
Or upgrade ur coolant components.
It'll do you good in long run, if you put some effort into maintenance mods and not just looking for juice.
