That 6k all of a sudden looks like 9-10k after it's all said and done.
I agree with this, however, if you talk to Stillen they will tell you that their expected 390-420 whp is with the SC kit only (includes CAI). They actually advise against up front addition of headers, HFC's, exhaust etc, as those things complicate the tune.
In that case, other additions, are unnecessary, and purely per taste.
I have a NISMO exhaust because I like how it SOUNDS, and LOOKS.
