1. KN air filters (not sure of the correct product #)
2. Ess tune ( I called Dinan and they said it may or may not work depending on the production month. Also I'm looking for torque gains through all rpm's. Seems like dinan is more at the top end. 4-5000 rpm's. They both cost -approximately $1000.
3. Supersprint x pipe only. Minimal gains but good exhaust note.
This combo should run me $2400-2600.
Please advise thoughts and advice. Thanks.

1) There are better options than drop-in K&N filters, unless you're trying to maintain a stock look. Search around on the forums, there's threads out there.
2) $$Dinan$$ has the worst HP per $$ ratio out there, so don't bother. I originally went with ESS but instead went with Halim from HCPerformance, but I don't think he does N63 stuff.
3) SS x-pipe isn't anything magical, so just do a $30 eBay 3" x-pipe that'll do the exact same thing.
