intake and exhaust do not provide any significant horse power gain
i just like to shoot my gun @ the range, not in military
access port i do not have, but wish i do, and i know that it will help especially if your car is running too rich. (saves mpg)

you can find almost 99.99% of information by searching
search more, it will save you lots of money by always doing the right things
+1 to mod the stock intake box
welcome to the club by the way

Get some sway bars to compliment your tein setup. I'm very happy with my Racing Beat sways & endlinks. You will have a handling beast, oh and a good set of tires are needed.
Next, go for the accessport and a supercat or straight pipe for more pep. And, the AFE shifter and some good tranny fluid.
