I'd say the SFC's are a great start, + the $$$ to get them welded in.

Don't get a 1LE elbow unless you just have the extra money. Looks the same as stock to me. If you want to get rid of the donkeydong, just do like you siad with the shampoo bottle.

Roller Rockers are pretty cheap too.

You've got the CSI elec WP also. Do a search on both and find your preference. I went with the CSI when it was only $139 from Summit.
