From what I understand, chips are best after you've done other things. I don't have one. You might check in the Computer Tuning forum.

The best air filter kit appears to be a homemade one. Wrap your intake tubes with insulating tape, then possibly a K&N or other replacement filter.

Great exhaust systems are plentiful, and opinions vary. I don't have one yet but from what I've read:
Borla, JBA, and Bassani make great headers.
Flowmaster, Borla, Dynomax, Magnaflow make great mufflers.
For a complete system, Bassani or Borla.

Check the exhaust forum for more specifics.

Those modifications won't matter because they aren't radical enough to impact chip programming. Before or after, the chip programming would be the same.
