You only really need to replace the pre-cat o2 sensor. And if I were you, I'd do a search on here for "plenum".

Go to this website http://www.moparonlineparts.com/ call the number in the top left corner of the website.
They are Mopar dealer and their price are not much more then a good aftermarket part.
Give them your vin number and they will give you the exact part number that you need.
Then you can search for the price useing the part number on their site and order from there.
I have used them several times and very happy with their service.
