I've been considering adding a cold air intake, and dual exhaust.  It's
my understanding that I also need to add a chip to be able to "tune" the
differences that those modifications will make...

Is this true?

No, you will not need a chip for these modifications. Adding a CAI and a
Dual exhaust, either dual off the single cat back or a custom catted H pipe,
will only add a few horses to a V6. A true dual exhaust with a custom H pipe
will actually lower the power at lower rpm's and the gain will show as peak
horsepower. Unless you plan to spend $$ on a supercharger those additions
are pretty much eye candy.

Hmm, I have both done to my '04 V6 (CAI and single catback with duals), and
at about $400 later, I'm satisfied.

I say go for it.

Satisfied with what?  Change in the exhaust noise?  Actual performance
improvements?  How it looks underneath?

?
