Is this ram air and cat combo good?

Ok I was looking at a mustang site (dont flame me) cause I couldnt find one any where else. I found a nice ram air kit for 115 beans. I was wondering if anyone from personal experience thought ram air kits are good on turbo 2gs. You can see it here its about half way down:

Also I was wondering if anyone has a 2.5 inch cat, and how it is working for them. Are there any noticable gains. Cause I am about to purchase exhaust cause mine has gone bad, and I want to up grade. thanks

yeah I saw a cat for 48 beans on ebay...and I am on a college student budget so I dont have the money. I am hoping 2.5 cat and cat back and the ram air will yeild some signifacant gains (2.5 is all I can afford right now). thanks for the input

has anyone used ram air??? Is it worth it? What kind of noticable gains were there?

Ram air is useless for general use; you can't make a scoop large enough for the amount of air your engine breathes.

Cold air is a different matter. The kit looks like it might help a bit, if you can work out where to route things. There are better approaches though.

Exactly. A "ram air" kit is actually just a neat name for a cold air intake. You need to be going nearly 200mph for a ram air setup to actually ram air into the engine. Read that from a mustang magazine.
