I also would recommend the GMPP exhausts. I happen to have an AEM intake, and its been fine; I guess it really doesn't matter too much. I would just suggest that you get a dry-flow filter.

It sucks here in California because the AEM and the GMPP intake are the only ones CARB legal.

^^ I don't think the warrany is voided for a catback or CAI anyhow no matter who installs them, the GMPP's have the advantage of being ADDITIONALLY covered by the warranty.. but most namebrand CAIs and catbacks are going to have their own limited lifetime warranty anyways.
I'm going GMPP Shortram/GMPP Touring as I think the GMPP may work better with my scooped hood once I get it.

Get the GMPP Intake and the RK Sport hood (or modify your hood by adding a functional scoop). There's HP to be had from that set-up.

The GMPP exhaust is a safe bet - good compromise between cost, sound, and performance. And, although a cat back exhaust won't void the warranty anyway, if you get a real jerk at the dealership, it's hard for them to complain about their own parts.

GMPP ftw! i have a gmpp intake and i love it! sounds amazing and looks pretty sweet. still stays with all the gm stuff in case of stupid mechanics at the dealership. fair price. as for exhaust i dont have one yet but plan on the gmpp catback.

7 1/2 extra horses, but who's counting?

If you do your own hood like I did it was about $100 for the scoop, and a few bucks for stick-on gasket closed-cell foam.
