Default What would I see better results from?

I am getting ready to buy either a CFM intake elbow or a 4 in SS Diamond Eye turbo back exhaust. What do you think would get me better results. Right now I have the muffler deleted but still have the cat and the resinator. You can see my other mods in my sig. Or would you recommend another brand of intake elbow. Thanks in advance.

Get the exhaust! Those elbow's aren't needed until you get up there in HP.

Unless somebody plans on stuffing a rag in your intake elbow. I would spend my money on exhaust.

I wouldnt buy exhaust unless u r going bigger so get rid of cat and res. and get a high flow muff. if u dont like the sound and b done w/ it! Intake elbows dont give that much so spend money elseware, If u have any kind of fab. skills here r some pics of how i did my intake elbow, 2 90degree mandrell bends and a 4x4x1/4 plate and a 3"hole saw and a little welding and u r done! I have around 40$ and 2 hours tops in it,
