Many have gone with C&L and JLT. The JLT is about $100 cheaper, but they both make the same power. I have also seen guys with the frpp X-pipe. I personally went with the JLTII CAI/SCT flash tuner from bamachips and I love it. Best money spent.

wms and sct/brenspeed here. As far as x-pipe's go there are different types. Usually when someone is talking about an aftermarket x-pipe or h-pipe they are talking about the entire assembly that goes right from the headers (including the cats or lack thereof) to where the exhaust merges. Most are the bigger assembly but there are different x-pipe's like the frpp one which is only a foot long and replaces only the section where the pipes merge. (this confused me for a long time lol)

The flasher is irrelevant. The quality of the tune/program is more important. The flasher device is just like a USB flash drive. A 2GB unit from Wal-Mart or a 256MB from Best Buy has no bearing on the quality of the documents stored on the drive.

Since you live in Indiana I would talk to Brenspeed and see what they recommend. Lots of different thoughts on this but since you asked;

SCT tuner with Brenspeed tunes
JLT cold air kit
Probably an off road pipe since you don't have to worry about smog

I have the C&L racer with x-cal 2 programmed by Bamachips and I love it so far. But, as was said above, I would go to Brenspeed since you are so close. I also have a Bassani x-pipe. I went with headers and no cats, so mine turned out really loud and too barky. Ended up changing mufflers and adding resonators to tone it down. But if you are keeping your stock manifolds I think you would be fine, especially if you get cats.
