If you have the Rev-up engine (05 35th Anniversary Manual & 06 Manual) then I would suggest leaving the factory intake alone, but since you already have the K & N then just add a Motordyne 5/16 spacer, Motordyne MREV2, high flow cats or test pipes(MD, BERK, etc.), you already have the exhaust, and Osiris tune and you should be good to go. But like most others suggested, I would do suspension and wheels first and engine last. Just my $.02

Yea its an '06 manual so its the rev-up engine. Already have hi-flow cats, and i'm really leaning towards getting the 5/16 spacer and mrev2. Ive seen a few threads where people got great gains from it. And just about everyone ive talked to recommends the Osiris tune, neither of these will effect the reliability of the car will they?

Yes, many people have done these mods.
My plenum spacer didn't make my car any more/less reliable.
Whether it's worth the money is a question only you can answer.

Thanks for the response i think it would be well worth the money if i could gain 15hp without effecting reliability

15hp for $1000 isn't worth the money imho. You'll still get smoked by a STI or Evo.

Until you're ready to go FI, spend your $$$ on suspension

Yup yup...

Although, a nice exhaust system, cat back, can never hurt... *shrug*
