Have both! I would recommend both but the high flow cat converter is a must if u wanta see those gains. With both, and without the dyno loss, it's about a 20 HP gain. I don't know if you'll get the true sense of the CAI if you put it in at the same time as the exhaust but the CAI alone makes the car sound awesome. I've had my CAI for a while now and love it and just got the exhaust a few days ago and am in love :) get the burnt tips too!

at most the gains will be like 11hp or 12 hp but the hfc is too expensive to justify the hp gains but to each his own if you like it buy it

dont get the cat back.... get the full exhuast, youll go deaf, but youll definitaly feel the hp gain. no more lag when you step on the gas, quicker response and you set off car alarms which is my favorite past time

Cat back is a good, safe, option, If you actually want some performance gains, get the high flow cat as well. The CAI will increase power minimally, but still worth getting if you build your own.

Also: learn to use the search at the top, this question has been answered hundred of times.
