Need to do more to your exhaust before you open up the intake more. You have to give the air a place to go before you open it up to let more in.

Decide where you want to go. I finally decided I'm going to go N/A for the time being, and any mods I do now will support a turbo later. So, I'm going for Plog and coated cross-over for exhaust for now (along with other stuff). Already have a DP and catback.

If you ever plan to go turbo, ditch headers. They don't work with turbos, except the DP portion of the TOGs is used as part of the ZZP turbo kit.
