Those two mods (as low as a little over $325) should net you approximately a 6 to 7% increase in power, which on a 275 whp (give or take) vehicle puts you in the 291 - 294 ball park (on a Dynojet).
Based on all of the dyno evidence I have seen, pod filter intake kits are NOT worth it. They are 2-3x the price of the highflow panel filters plus smoother intake tubes and, at best, may net you a few more whp.

I would say 1.5 - 3.0% more power at various points in the rev range. You might be able to get similar gains with just a Y pipe.
