I am already set on an exhaust just not sure how well or bad the stock intake is at flow of air. I do know with the spacer its been reported on here of 10-15hp, just not positive on the intake. And if that 10-15 was with an intake combined

Buy both.

As for real world gains, you'll see most with a spacer. The stock air boxes aren't as bad as you think they are.

Intakes usually hurt performance, if you want to buy it for looks or sound go for it. Otherwise stick with stock airbox and K&N or upgrade to an 06 airbox if you really want to buy one.
