Default What to get?

My gf asked me what I want for valentine's day. I told her I'd think of something and now I'm having to actually think. I want either a cold air intake or a muffler. I had ordered a Cherry Bomb Turbo, but thanks to an error from the site I ordered it from, it turns out they didn't have any instock and gave me a refund. Options I came up with:

1) Option Racing Cold Air Intake

2) Cherry Bomb muffler

3) Edelbrock SDT muffler. I came accross this on Youtube and I think it sounds good. Thoughts?

Well I would say that if you wanted the CB enough to order it already, then that easy enough

$70 for a CAI and heat shield aint a bad deal either.....

the last muffler is gonna be the spendiest of the bunch though....

I got my CAI before I got a new muffler. The cAi will give you a boost in hps, and *can* boost fuel economy. The muffler with give hps <-- but both will be too little to feel in and of themselves.

if it were me, I'd snag the CAI. placebo mpgs are better than no mpgs....

I have the option racing intake and a thrush welded muffler and it definetly added hp, i dynoed it after about 15hp more. The only problem with the option racing intake it the bracket was a little off from where it should be and it snapped when i gunned it one time, and since its aluminum its not like you can just weld it easy.

The bracket that connects to the fender? ( I assume this one has a bracket at the fender for the heat shield, the one like this I put on my dad's Ram had a bracket there)

Yea the bracket that goes towards the fender. But the filter is so big it holds it up without the bracket.
