Yes and how much of a performance gain, really not much without doing the intake. Then if you do them both you need to do headers and exhaust to take full advantage of what they do.

Headers and exhaust?? Or just headers, I have read alot that cat back is not giving any gains. I am planning cai, ported tb and intake, headers but would prefer not to change the exhaust. what would I be missing without the exhaust?
