Talking HELP to up grade my 300c srt8

For those of you who already have performance moods installed on their 300C SRT8, need your help. I'm doing a little research to upgrade my SRT8 2006. Looking for Air Intake (K&N? Mopar? or Volant? ) Definetly a Magnaflow Cat back (already ordered) and finally what do you think about Performance Chip? (maybe a Jet Chip?) tell me about your experiance of what you have what do you think? What is the best performance upgrades ?

Opinions always Helps!

Cheers!!!

From what I have seen and from a hands on experience with my one friends srt 300 the mopar intake and stage II jet chip are very popular and give you extra power. But I have been hearing alot about programmers like the superchips one coming out for the srt models. Most people would probably tell you to wait for a programmer. Also if you were thinking about getting headers it seems that the ones on the srt model already flow pretty good and you dont get a lot of extra power when you switch to aftermarket ones which cost over 1k. Replacing the cats with high flows with net you some good power though. If you have the cash porting the intake and doing the heads will give you great power. I'm sure others with more experience will give you a better idea of what you should be looking at.

Magnaflow's (cat-back and HF cats) have shown about 20-25rwhp gains together, CAI's have been a big debate and seem to make the car sound better, but add little HP. Jet chip has shown to be pretty beneficial on the 5.7L, but not so much on the 6.1, and yes there is a Flashpaq in the works, but not available yet(only for the 5.7, althought the same programmer will eventually work for both...........just a matter of getting a software update once the 6.1 is available........

HF cats just mean High Flow Catalytic Converters. CAI mean Cold Air Intakes.
I would go with the Hennessey,it seems to be the only "true" cold air intake.
