welcome

looks like you already have aftermarket mufflers.

its just a matter of preference and your price range mostly. most exhaust and intake products arent going to vary too much in differences, other than the tone of your catback, or the style of your exhaust tips(which is all your preference).

be careful what you buy on ebay...some can be good or bad...as you probably already know

but, yes, do search and read and use RIZZ'Z link page...they will help greatly

the pics look good to me

yes those pipes are connected to it...the filter in the center replaces your stock filter on the side...notice the 2 open vents on the right and left of the filter? usualy the pipes dont come with the filter kit...only the filter and filter adapter, you can also take a look at the STILEN filter kit too...http://www.stillen.com/product_detail.aspx?sku=402900

Wow your interior looks nice! i love it. Paint looks perfect as well.

Start with your basic Mods:
Pop Charger, Exhaust, Test pipes, ECU upgrade, Underdrive pullies, Headers...no particular order. Its all personal preference and how fat your wallet is for which you choose to do first.

you could get a decent amount done for $1500, if you install the parts yourself.

If you want brand names look into places like Stillen, JWT, AMZ, Z1
