are you guys running the regular volant or the power core version that only has to be recharged every 100,000 miles?

With an exhaust upgrade..... the buzzword people know is 'backpressure'. Its a bit of a misnomer. What you should only be concerned with on exhaust is... you guessed it... exhaust velocity. The larger the exhaust pipe? Well of course you lose the 'backpressure', but you also lose some velocity. Also, the larger the pipe you go, the higher your power curve will move (up in the RPMs).
^^^ With that said...... the power gained, lost, or moved with an exhaust upgrade is negligible. I upgrade mine, because they sound better

Yup, the exhaust and the intake make the car sound real nice, but they aren't going to do anything for performance or MPG. The engine will pull in the amount of air it needs regardless of whether the it has a stock or aftermarket intake. That being said, I likes my Volant...for now. That Roush supercharger is calling me...
If you want performance improvements go with a programmer.
