Id say down pipe and charge pipping, a cat back does nothing for power so only get one if you want it to sound different and have the money.

I personally am getting a high flow catted downpipe as I am on the gm stage 1 tune and dont want to f with the cel going on and off. The hahn downpipes seem to me to have the best o2 sensor location where its angled and pulled far away from the pipe than the others to not get a cel. After my warranty if I got hpt tune id get a catless...

I got the injen charge pipping with new silicone couplers and tbolt clamps. Id recommend that setup as its the shortest pipping to the ic than other companies and its cheap.

mpx has a new intercooler in development I'm waiting to see how that turns out and its gains. Otherwise I'm all suspension, braking and light weight mods.

My downpipe has never thrown a cel. However, any downpipe with a highflow cat would be a nice improvement over stock.
