Will i feel a difference with a CAI and cat back?

So far the only performance mod i have is a magnaflow cat back. I honestly cant feel the bit of power that it gives, but it does sound awesome . With adding the lingenfelter CAI will the car feel more powerful or is it just not enough to really notice?

Heres a little movie of the exhaust if anyone wants to hear http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...3/f375fb92.mpg

Also, what mod should be next?

I never noticed any diff with a flow catback and a k@n intake, but my sensitivity to these things isn't as good as most people.

With just a Catback on stocker exhaust manifolds .. Not really...

Now with some headers...and catback... yes you will...
intake wise ... I can't tell the difference, but you can hear it if you listen closely.

I'd get headers next and a pcm program. You'll defintly notice those two mods.

I didn't notice any diffrence when I put my intake on but i'm sure if you put exhaust and intake on at the same time you'd feel something.

A dyno will prove that you have added some ponies to the rear wheels. As a matter of fact, in the Camaro Performers magazine a couple of issues ago did a Magnaflow and K&N cold air setup and proved this. As for actually noticing it when driving, you might or you might not. I felt a difference but nothing spectacular with my cold air kit and catback. But remember these mods are the basis for more aggressive mods in the future---> headers, cam, heads, ect.

yes do those mods but no doubt you'll feel it with some headers.
