Welcome to the org
4x4parts.com is a good place to start looking for
goodies. Headers/exhaust, intakes, ECU upgrades, etc
etc...
For the exhaust find something you like the sound of.
Youtube has quite a few to browse through. Only when you
start hitting high HP does it really start becoming a
determining factor. A good single 3", or if you really
want dual look at 2.5".
Biggest factor is $$$, how far you do you wanna go and
how much can you afford.

It took a little searching around to even figure out what
you were talking about.
-edit-
pulled down the MAF comment, turns out their intelligence
is even less than I gave them credit for.
-edit-
You want real HP gains, be prepared to spend real money,
not $60
But let me help you with this one.
http://www.gfchips.com/about-us.aspx
follow the website and take a look at the picture of the
building. 17772 G-Force Inc. I spent a good 35 minutes
going around Irvine Ca looking up different 17772 with
different streets, couldn't find one even remotely
looking like that building. 95% was houses. Secondly
the glaring brightness of the lettering just screams
photo shop.

ahh yes this was the source of most my amusement besides
testimonials. The mailing address
GFChips.com
17595 Harvard Ste C-194
Irvine CA 92614
Ste C-194? hmm, looks like a mailbox... why yes it is.
Pacific Mail is located at 17595 Harvard Ste C. Ok no
problem, a lot of corporations use boxes as a staging
point for mail. Now, most corporations like to be near
said box, saves money on gas. I looked a good 4 blocks
in every direction for a building that looks like the one
before... nada.
enter their phone number into google... number 6 is rip-
offreport.com, number 5 is modern tech scams on a forum

Oops my bad on that one... it doesn't hook into your MAF,
it hooks into your IAT (intake air temp sensor) So all
it's going to do is make your ECU think you're in colder
air.  making your vehicle think you're running in
colder air isn't going make it perform like it's actually
running in colder air.
total fail. And i love the "plug & play" installation,
yet
you have to modify wiring to install... just wow.
And better yet read the testimonials... LMAO.
"My 1990 Corrado G60 never performed better. I did all
the recommended modifications to my supercharger, and
even as far as camshafts.
Nothing gave me the boost like the chip."
