Intake + custom tunes make your exhaust more aggressive sounding, the intake alone and you get a growling (guess that's the word) sound under heavy acceleration

Ya I dont have a custom tune I have thought about it but I think I am going to get one once I get my headers, but I just dont think that is something I would do immediately you know what I am saying like maybe down the road but I would rather spend the money on something that is going to make a big difference whether it be physical or engine wise, hence the headers or maybe a bull bar and some lights?

It all depends on your engine. For the 5.4, the only CAI's that actually gain any real HP is the airaid and the air force one, ALL the others are just bling

If I had 2k right now, I would get some 4.56's, a gryphon, and get a dryflow filter to replace my garbage k&n...then probly get a lift kit for my prairie with the left over. and maybe a G110 and some detailing supplies

Any time Ian...but honestly a supercharger would be badass...I would kill for one..doesnt matter what your truck looks like.. But if you wanted a bunch of different things. I would get a body lift on top of your leveling kit like Matt K's trucks and then get HIDS in the heads and fogs, Intake and tuner...
