Best Intake/BOV/Exhaust Combination?

I'm looking to start spending money on my 08 GSR...I want to do the intake, the blow-off-valve, and definately the exhaust. I've done some research online so far, but you guys know better than anyone else. What do you recommend? I'm looking for hp and torque gain, so I'm open to anyone's advice. Let's assume that money isn't a problem, what's the best way I can go?

Thanks.

Save your money and get a proper tune, will net you more power and torque than any bolt on at this stage.

If you must buy parts though:
Drop in filter
Stock BOV
Turbo back exhaust
Tune

I'm partial to the ultimate racing exhaust. They have literally about 20 configurations to choose from.

Ok, so I ordered an Ultimate Racing dual exhaust and short-ram intake. Now my question is, what tune do you suggest? Someone gave me dynoflash.com, but it doesn't look like they do a 2008 Evo X yet. Any suggestions?

Al (DynoFlash) does tune Evo X. Just give him a call.

Yes, Al will do a good job. A tune will really help!

I recommend the Cobb AP as well for the tune. Can't get better than being able to change maps at will. Specially handy when you drive around and find different octanes of gas were you go.
