the way i have interpreted it -- the best combo if you want to do headers is k&n intake (FIPK or FITK) apexi neo tuning device, the headers obv (batch 2, although i think all are now batch 2 unless used or specified) and an exhaust to finish it off (not sure if its necessary....) i have the apexi worldsportII and it sounds great. very deep, slight rasp. get compliments alot. this is the build i will eventually have.

i guess they mean dont use the srt's piggy back since a neo will have more tuning capabilities with your new toys (header/exhaust).

BTW k&n DOESNT make a intake for the gs430. just a drop in filter, they ONLY make a intake for the gs400.

get the S&S headers. buy them new and you will get the gen 2 version so no cracking. best person to talk to though is rock-a-lex he has the highest HP NA gs430 i think on here
