I installed the Stage II kit from Taliaferro and have been very pleased with the results. I used the Remus exhaust and would highly recommend it; nice sound but not too loud.
Something to keep in mind: I have really enjoyed the upgrade, however after a month or two having it, my mind 'adjusted' to the new level of power and the car no longer left terribly fast (additive drug, that torque!). I also live in Miami and have found the heavy traffic pretty much makes the upgrade useless since I am usually creeping along in traffic at 15-30 MPH. Of course this is just my case, but if I had to do it again I probably would stop at the Remus exhaust system and save the ECU upgrade money.
With that said I would also mention the upgrade is of high quality. The drivability of the car is very good. There have been no associated reliability issue. One upgrade Nick recommended was changing the transmission fluid over the newer MTF0063. This made a noticable improvement in shift quality that I still appreciate.
Good luck with your decision.
