Hi David,
Welcome to the club mate, your post is in the wrong section but im sure Peter will sort it out for you !
As for your question.
I personally would be ditching the HKS filter as they are not the best and slapping in another brand POD or better yet even putting back in the original airbox and making a BFI (do a search for BFI). BUT if your intercooler pipes do not allow for the airbox to be put back in - make sure the pod is getting some good clean air by using some ducting.
Also a good idea to perhaps head to clark rubber and buy some heat resistant rubber (with the silvery backing) and make up a small basic cold air BOX for your pod to sit in so its not sucking hot engine air.
The cat back will make a difference and increase show at the same time. A good idea would be when you get that installed get an exhaust shop to make up a nice 3" Front pipe from the stocko dump pipes and get a high flow cat also.
That will make a substantial power difference. Then perhaps a simple SAFC II install and a tune. Or an Emanage... whatever floats your boat.
Should see you up to 200RWKW with a little more boost.
