much of the improvement to the 325/330 was in the intake and exhaust. I've had both pieces on my car and removed them because they added so little. in fact, they muffler made more noise *inside* the car than it did outside and the only increase in performance I noticed was that it allowed the engine to more easily pull past red-line (keep in mind that peak HP is still at red line even with the mods - look at anybody's dyno charts).

I also feel that a CAI intake adds very little to the performance of a 325/330 but at least it's noticible.
