Just because he says he has IE doesn't really mean speed......intake for anyone who is seriously into speed means Filter, Mass Air meter, Throttlebody AND intake Plenum. (otherwise you are just in a hurry to get a lot of air into the restrictive t-body and plenum) Exhaust (if it just means mufflers) doesn't mean speed either because the most power from your exhaust comes from long tube heders and a hi-flow cat converter. One thing I know is that the spec-v has a nice short throw which should help.
