Next, there's not... if any power/ reliablity given with air intakes or BOV (research this). Turboback exhausts are a very good first or second add-on. I would choose Prodrive or Borla hush for the catback - both are good and quiet, Greedy evo is quite too - but looks ricey.
Finally will such add-ons keep you up with Evo, I would say yes: check out Cobbs stats with the Cobb Stage 2 with T/back exhaust:

285 WHP
0-60 mph : 4.6 seconds
1/4 mile : 13.4 @ 101.5 mph

(Don't think a stock Evo will touch those numbers!)

yeah thats why i asked if it would keep up with the evo... another question, power packages for example the cobb stage 2 is the accessport and TBE, if i get a different kind of TBE like the superstealth turbo back mated with an axle back exhaust, will i get the same results as the real cobb stage 2?

That all depends on the DP that you get. I have the Helix one and it uses a bellmouth design very similar to the Cobb one. I'd say that any well-made bellmouth DP should give you the same hp.
qwiktripn - It's actually 285 flywheel hp. If you look at the Stage 2 dyno chart, the awhp is actually 224.5. Sorry.
