Moroso is a good deal, but like all the "cold air" systems you can buy, you have to put a little time and money into making it a true "cold air" intake. If you can't just gut your cat and run a straight pipe all the way back, the SLP deal would be pretty good.
Think about headers too.
Good Luck!

Personally, I like the K&N better than the Moroso, but you most likely won't see any better gains over the other. The Loudmouth will be a lot louder and more raspy, while the Hooker will have better tone. If I had to pick one of the packages though, I would go with the K&N/Hooker and cut out the catalytic converter. Some people love the Hooker cat-back, but it's just not loud enough for me. If you do decide to go with the Moroso/LM setup, then I would replace the Loudmouth resonator with a Dynomax Bullet. I have heard that will eliminate the raspiness of the exhaust.

If you go with a Hooker cat back, you might want to consider getting stainless steel tips. I bought mine about a year ago, still sounds great but the tips will rust within 3 months. If you are uncomfortable making your own cold air induction SLP has a very nice set up as well as Arizona Marine.

i would suggest that no mater what exhaust you get you should get the whole thing ceramic coated...it will help with flow and with looks...plus it keeps it from rusting

what about Lingenfelter Performance engineering CAI for $159.95 + hooker cat back $269.99 for$430. Gut your cat to make it louder/free up exhaust flow. If its not loud enough get a cutout.$150 I have always had hooker LT's on mine so i dont know what it would sound like with stock manifolds, but i get many compliments on my hooker setup(LTs and 3" catback), it has a refined sound to it unlike loudmouth. But it all depends on what your taste is
