a high flow cat and extractors will give you a small noticable "seat of the pants gain".. will rev out a lil faster... and gain a small bit of better fuel economy... -the snorkel will help aid that too..

XR6T snorkel and 3" stainless steel intake will help with responsiveness...didn't notice any power gains though. Add extractors, high flow cat and cat back exhaust, and you'll notice a bit of an improvement. Chuck a cam in and you'll definitely feel the improvement.

Not sure if the intake has given me more RWKW though.

Depends in what people try to charge you for installation. A regrind from wade is $130ish, then you will need shims, and differeent springs/vernier gear depending on what cam, and then installation.
