whats the best way to go?

i'v just bought an 04 supercrew fx4 with the off road package. i'd like some suggestions on what the best intake/exhaust set up would be best for me. i'd like to get a functional ram air hood and jack it up a little bit, 2-4 inches and throw some nice wheels and tires on it, but i'm gonna start with the exhaust first. any and all suggestions i'll take as i've never done upgrades to a vehicle before.

i just looked at both magnaflow and flowmasters sites and the magnaflow seems to be made out of 100 percent stainless and i was able to hear a sound bite of what it will sound like. so im swaying that way

I have the Magnaflow 16616 and I love it! No one knows what I have until I open her up! Then heads turn! There is no drone in the cab, just on Friday night my friend was falling asleep due to the nice tone. It's just right, but that what us Magnaflow owners like. I know I do not want drone @ hwy speeds. I'll tell one thing the flows sound nice @ start up.

In my gallery there are 2 photos of my Maggies.

Okay till the next one.... Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!:santa:

I have true duals doing to an X-pipe, and then into two dynomax bullets! It sounds great! No drone, and its not all that loud as i thought it would be at 70MPH! I did it all myself, and it only cost me about 200 for materials. I used a mig welder to weld everything up, and it was easier than i thought. It gave me a really good power gain also. I used to have a flowmaster SIDO 40 series, and now with true duals, it really opened it up! With the flowmaster i could barely chirp the tires, now with the new exhaust it will smoke the tires easy!
