Carefull with oiled filters as they can cause you problems with oil on MAF if you are not careful, notice I did not say "will cause you problems". Best mods in my mind is the exhaust to free the boxer beat, a bit of suspension work such as whiltelines sways, endlinks, lowering springs or if you have the $$ then coilovers. Once you have these things in place then the flash on ecu and you have a new and vastly improved ride over stock.
Is it worth taking the stock resonator out? I've read a lot regarding people removing these for the suction noise, but i'm not sure if there're any other benefits?

I'd like the noise, but i can't be bothered paying a lot of money just to get the intake tuned on my Tek3.
