Get a performance series Magnaflow along with a good hi-flow cat (Magnaflow makes some). Nice mellow sound and doesn't choke your power.

Don't need to rewire them. Pull the TEMS motors off the top of the shocks and you'll see the shock adjustment shaft. It'll have a slot in the top for the adjustments and you'll probably see settings...

At a guess with no codes, could be an intake leak, vacuum leak, cps misaligned, timing off. My best guess would be timing and/or cps.

Generally speaking when you run that much more air into your engine without upgrading your injectors to deliver more fuel, you run lean. Run the 7M lean and you're going to do real damage to it.
