Best intake, chip, exhaust?

I checked out Ultimate Motor Werks and all they do is tuning and the next move up is replacing turbos? My main problem is I believe that my car has been chipped but I have no verification. Is there any way to find out if it was chipped? I understand I cannot know whose chip it is. Also, am I truly to believe that the only exhaust that has no drone and isn't super crazy expensive that people like on 996TT is the Europipe?
UMW does much more than tuning.

I guess the issue for me is I live in S. Florida and that is about as far away as far can be! I do most work on my own so I would do the install of anything that I do except a tune. I don't know if that is worth it considering the car is most likely chipped but if I do the exhaust is it worth a tune as well? I will call UMW and see what they say.

Lots of good exhausts and tunes, discussed ad nauseam
On "intake", skip that- stock is fine for 550-600hp. Change the stock paper filter every other oil change and you'll be on the right side of the performance curve...

The tune can cost you big dollars in damage....go with a good one. Having a person to talk to is important. I learned much of my wisdom from Kevin at UMW. What he has provided me has never let me down.
For exhaust, ....deleted stuff as there are a lot of options and taste matters (and tuners can tune to an exhaust...). I have a high end unit with great resale and love it....the welds are amazing on some of these, btw. They are virtual sculptures.
Stock air box is good until you get to silly power (built motor)...

Dealing with a vendor nearby can be of great value when it comes to after purchase service. Having a shop that you can take the car to and/or physically talk with should be a consideration IMHO. Maybe check with Orbit Racing and see what tuner they work with.
