It is commonly accepted knowledge around here that CAIs don't give you much. Getting rid of the factory mufflers will do you much better.

Hes already got flowmaster 1 chambers, so my guess is its already loud as ****

Go with the CAI, you won't pickup any more power from swapping mufflers. You car is already probably nice and loud, so go with the straight shot. Its new on the market and I haven't heard anyone thats NOT happy with it, although the exact gains are still debateable

If you've got 1 chambers already, I'd keep them.

Why not spend the money on a K&N and get gears?
