i hav been wondering the same thing. Im still saving money toward it but i think most people say midlength. Gives the most all around power i think is what i read. ZZP tested the midlength and got more hp from it but that was against the shortys. Havent really heard anything about the longtubes.

Any header is going to make it louder, but the stock exhaust is pretty resrictive so I would imagine it wouldn't be that loud. If you want a more free flowing exhaust but not too loud look into the GMPP touring setup.

I did intake first, but it doesn't really matter. Whichever is burning a hole in your wallet the most. hah.

I just put a K&N filter in since I'm putting a SC in. Even with just a filter there was a difference though.

Do intake first then exhaust and the header and downpipe. Please note after all those mods its recommended you get a tune to maximize your mods.
