Gauges. If not, tymar. Tymar because the stock air box is not that great. It can leak even if you're really careful. Intake won't really do anything for your power.

Re: I have money. what should i buy?

i want to put stacks on but i dont have enough money yet. With that in mind should i do the intake or should i save my money and buy the downpipe and stacks at the same time?

Tymar intake is teh FIRST thing you should do, kill the kittie is free so do that too. Then deal with other stuff, a chip should be high on teh list.
