christmas ideas and a few questions

got a few questions, im looking at either getting a new exhaust system or CAI, i was just wondering what do yall think is the best of each. Also im new to having a truck, my last ride was a supercharged 93 cobra which i still have. I live at the beach and go to school at UNCW, i was wondering how good my truck would be on the beach, and what i would have to look at doing, avoiding etc. what would be the best route.

You didnt even say what kind of sound you are looking for or anything. I have had borla, SLP and Roush exhausts and I like the roush but I would say that it is pretty loud. I have had volant on both of my trucks and liked it both times. also you should think about getting a tuner... i just got my edge and it is a neat little toy!

nice stang! I have the flowmaster 40 series originals and I like them. There is a little drone around 2K rpm but its not bad. Sounds awsome from outside. For the CAI there is Air Force 1, K&N, Volant, Airaid, and a few others. They are all pretty similar except the Volent air filter is covered in a box. If you are looking for looks and performance I would get the AF1 or K&N 77 series which have chrome tubing. The others have I think plastic tubing which keeps the air cooler for better performance but dont look as good as the chrome ones.

For the beach make sure you let the air out of your tires a little. It helps A LOT.

My truck with the stock 275/65R18 sees allot of sand and 15psi works the best.
