If you don't have any additional mods,
like a header, cam or cat back exhaust
you won't get much if anything but more
noise from an intake mod like this

yea thats a good point, a header and exhaust are the biggest upgrade that a guy could do in his drive way with hand tools.

Cat back is the exhaust mod that changes out the
stock 1 3/8" pipe to a 2" pipe after the Catolitic (sp)
convertor, this helps the engine breathe and flow
more fuel/air for more power. The filter won't help
if the engine can't get rid of more extaust.

No order of importance, one doesn't
affect the other

You might see a 10% increase,
which is like 5-6 HP, not huge,but
it is a noticable difference.

Yes you will notice the difference. I have a Calmini cam, ported head (plus milled .010), throttle body spacer, hi-flo air cleaner, Calmini header and 2" exhaust.  Seat of the pants dyno says it has more power but it is still sluggish over 65-70mph (with 235 ATs on)...having said that, this engine is newly rebuilt and I haven't had the opportunity to really open it up yet...plus the road conditions for the past week have been real crap here in Alberta.
