Axle-back or CAI?
I have decided to go with the guy's over at LG with longtube's,catted-x and their dyno tune. My question is should I leave my stock mufflers on and get a CAI or get a set of aftermarket mufflers and get the CAI later? My budget is going to be right about even either way. Also my other concern's were the sound of the exhaust and which combo would give me the best overall gains.
I have an 08 m6 base model C6, I do not have the NPP's.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is the Halltech Killer Bee intake popular with the LS3's. I know the Vararam is the only true cold air but do most people just use the Killer Bee. Is it 15rwhp with a tune or without? I'm trying to decide on which intake and don't want to have to modify any pieces (shroud) or whatever.

+1, you can add the mufflers anytime. Though you can add a cai without a tune, if you are going to be getting the tune get the cai too when you get the headers.

I plan on getting the B&B bullets...Where can I get the regular ones for the cheapest? Also, I plan on getting long tubes and a xpipe in the future. Will this axle back be the right size to mate up with the midpipe? They make the mid-pipes 3" shrink down to a 2.5" near the end right?
