And a couple questions.
How beneficial would a CAI be on a L-swap? I wouldn't waste it on a stock 2v but I know they benefit turbo'd setups quite a bit so I'm assuming they'd help a blower.
I can get a Volant CAI for $150 ($270 new)
Also my drivers side manifold is about shot so looking at LT's now which will require a re-ran system. What's your opinion on the OBX LT setup with resonators, y'ed into a single 3" back with a Borla XR-1?

I'll leave the CAI question to the boosted guys, but I believe it would be beneficial to air density as long as its truly drawing cool air. As far as the exhaust, you'd better run LT's with the charger. Thats alot of air moving. What you listed sounds good to me. You deleting o2's? Get emissions tested?

Not a waste on any 2 valve. - As long as you improve both ends, ~ Intake AND Exhaust.
Personal pref on headers for some, - but OBX are all Flash IMO. If that's what you like, get the MOST beneficial OBX'S for engine flow AND MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE you size the collectors +system accordingly.
Personally, I'd run the Longer Pacesetter headers or Kooks (Modified/cut/turned) with 350 hp plus.
The 3" Single in/Single out Borla XR series is PERFECT!
