Include the 82mm TB and your set.

i dont think the meisterschaft exhaust is necessary, it probably wont yield any gains and your oem one is already made by eisenmann. (meisterscaft used to distribute eisenmann but they got caught copying eisenmann designs and branding them as meisterschaft, so they lost the rights).
id get the midsection kit from vadim instead, it also comes with an x-pipe.
for the HE you can save a lot more going my route but i have not installed yet and cant get back to you on fitment for another week or 2.
definitely get the 82mmTB but keep in mind u will have to modify the CFairbox in order to make them work together.
u may also want to consider long tube headers.

Thats some really good information im not willing to pay over $2000 for just sound if my stock exhaust is just as good. Also i would hate to have to modify a $2000 air box to make a $3000 throttle body work. I may just skip the air box and do the throttle body what do you think?

those are nice looking headers!
did u notice a big difference when switching over to them from the shorties?
i think it would be better to have the airbox with the 82mm TB (it shouldnt cost 3k unless u get the renntech one). it was not too hard to make it fit. if u dont want to modify the airbox at all then u can go with the 80mm TB.

skip the mufflers do not need them.
i would go 82mm tb and get a rentech airbox to go with it
alsoif you are going kleeman headers your going to be cutting and welding any way.
LT's might be a better investment but will cost more and are much harder to install & get fitment right

i think the VRP x-pipe is made by vadim. i have two of them (one ordered bought as a VRP xpipe and one as part of vadim's midsection kit) and they are the same size and look the same.
anyways the second one i have is brand new and for sale if anyone wants it.
