Borla Exhaust.

Racing Beat intake and air duck.

Honestly, there is no best. Those are just the ones I like the most. They are mostly just for sound, different people like different tones and levels of sound, so we cannot decide which exhaust and intake you will like the best. As far as CF hoods, they are a waste of money.

Just search you tube and you will be able to find plenty of examples of the different exhausts and how they sound.

borla has a great note, but the design of the piping is ugly and leaves more soot/flames out of one pipe than the other.

turboxs is the cheapest and best for $499 (It used to cost $1000 range for the full exhaust system before this forum pissed them off [so was that a good thing? lol]) since it's a full 3" system that does NOT reduce to 2.5" like most 3" exhausts do in order to be compatible with the OEM cat or aftermarket midpipes. Unfortunately the tips are several inches too recessed, so you should factor in another $100 or so for new tips and install. Still the best bang for the buck. Also getting a presilencer might be useful for it.
