OP, I would just go with a set of Kooks Super Street headers and MAYBE a set of high flow cats since I have heard once you get caught by the roadside check points you have to submit to emissions testing all the time after that or something weird like that. Then it depends how far down the N/A rabbit hole you want to go. You can increase CI without sacrificing your emissions, or you can go full bolt-ons and make some pretty good power still.

I may have an extra wiring harness for a Cobra Jet in my garage. If I do, you are more then welcome to have it.

I thought the Cobra Jet intake didn't really add much power, but just shifted the power band? Or is that the Boss intake? Or both?

That Kooks setup is pretty much what I have. It's brutal. In a very good/evil kindda way.

Boss. CJ adds power throughout the curve and at the upper RPM range, while not losing any torque.

Though since I posted that, I've seen a couple guys running the GT350 intake on an S197, which was previously thought to not be possible. I'd rather go that route. It looks almost stock, but provides pretty much the same gains as the CJ +/- 5hp or so. It's a little cheaper too, and you can run any standard CAI with it. I'd rather go that route and just leave it in when smog time comes. They'll never notice.

Does anyone know about the Holley Sniper intake manifold for the Coyote? It sparked my interest but I can't find gain info or details on "not for street use" statement.

Wow that is wicked! That's the whole design? Looks bada$$ at the same time as looking like an unfinished design.

Who has had this installed before?!?!?!?!?!? Anyone here who can speak to it?

Yeah, It looks a little similar to the Boss, but I would hope fore more mid-curve gains while not loosing low end torque. They say "power band" off 2200 to 6800 RPM, and I'd love to see what that looks like!

Also I don't understand why they say it's not legal for street use due to emissions. This thing delivers air after all. Is it because to take full advantage you need a tune which injects more fuel?
