Axle back = sound only ( mostly)

throttle body = junk. dont waste your time. guys have over 800 hp with stock one. most people also have trouble with them and end up junking them.

coil packs = more for forced induction, correct. have not seen any N/A sheets that showed any gains.

cat back = waste of money

driveshaft = good gains. spydershaft is inexpensive and reliable.

At least it's more erect and not floppy anymore.

Coil packs are only needed if you are having spark blowout issues, which can happen at higher boost levels. The only time I think that might happen NA is if you're running really high compression (12/1+) with way advanced timing (race fuel).
