Default a few questions for my 99

hello i drive a 99 chevy 2500 ext cab with the long bed 6.0 v8
i have a few questions sence im looking to do a few ugrades
(my dad got this for my b-day and said its your truck you can do what ever you want as long as you pay for it)

so im looking to do preformence first
these are the things im looking to do
-k&n cold air intake
-airaid throttle body spacer(alot of people i kno uses it with the air intake)
-bosch +2
-from the cats to the muffler new pipes and a 70 series fm with turndowns

so heres my questions
-does anyone have anyone have any opinions on how well the airintake works along with the spacer

-the bosch +2 a lot of my friends recamended this to me but ive heard many storys of problems how well does these work with the 6.0

-the exaust setup im goin with because people tell me the intake makes the stock exaust louder so i want a deep tone with not the anoying loudness inside the cab my big question is should i get single or dual out
(i want to keep the stock cats)

with this set up witll i get more power
and any better full milage
and how well do you think this will work

(sorry for a lot of questions)

(my dad drives a 03 1500hd with the same engine i have he put ac delco plugs in his truck and i drove it before and after i dont see any diff the only reason i ask about the +2 a friend of mine had a corvette and he used them said he had better responce and it seemed to work fine)

what about the e3? somone was telling me about them just sucks cause there 10$ a plug


and as far as the exaust i think im just goin to pay the few extra bucks and get the dual out

I've noticed a positive difference with E3 spark plugs, and I would recommend them. Yeah, they're expensive, but you do get what you pay for with these.

I also have a throttle body spacer on my truck, and I noticed a positive difference with it too. In my high-torque truck (454 K2500), I noticed even more torque down low, and solid acceleration increase around 1500-3000.

I'm simply sharing my personal experience; all personal experiences must be taken with a grain of salt and trusted at ones own benefit or peril. Simply put, I noticed a difference, and I will continue to use them.
