CAI - Haven't decided yet on brand.
Accufab 70mm TB and matching plenum

As long as you don't change the MAF and make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks you'll be fine.

Yes I wouldn't change your MAF because
you already have a 85mm MAF plus it's
a waste.If you have any vaccum leaks
get them fixed and you should be fine.
CAI- Densecharger or K/N FIPK 2
Plenum-Accufab and matching 70mm T/B
Mid pipe- Bassani X pipe with cats

Dont waste your money on a new MAF that is the biggest waste of money. I agree with Darkhorse on the CAI and plenum, the mid-pipe that all depends on what kind of sound you want out of your car. Bassani X-pipe is a nice sounding mid-pipe though.
