dont bother with that stock airbox mod. i did it and got no results. i ended buying a cheap intake of ebay for like 50$. it actually workd quite well. i got a little more throttle response. it sounds nice on acceleration to. that stock air intake elbow is still to restrictive even witha k/n filter.

 

best bang for buck, skip intake, and get Efans

 

Tuner,exhaust,CAI,E-Fans,underdrive pullies and gears!!!
I would do the tuner first.
There i just spent all of your money

 

haha yea u just spent all of my money plus some... ive heard of troyer or somethin like that ive seen that name all over this site... waht would u say the best tuner would be??

 

Troyer sells the AF1 intake for a reason...

 

i guess it all depends on how u do the mod... and i will never buy another intake from ebay!! i forget what store it was but they just threw some crap in a box and shipped it to me for bout $80... but i fixed them... hahaha

 

The Xcal2 is the most popular from Troyer with his custom tuning
Also i see you have no CATS or mufflers!!!That right there is killing your low end power you need some backpressure!!!2 high flow CATS and a good muffler!!I would do that with the tuner.I bet that is real loud

 

I also would say do the tuner first, Troyer says that his tunes will make the 4.6 run like the 5.4 does. Best bag for the buck is the tuner. I did the Volant cold air intake and I could have spent my money on other thinks but it was something I wanted. You will not notice a huge gain with the cold air intake.

 

yea its loud but believe it or not its not that bad n tha cab... imma dork so heres a clip.. lol (o and dont mind the lawn mower n the background haha)

 

yea im not gonna waste my money on a cai... infact i took the siliencer out today and its gettin a lot more cold air... would u say i should do the tuner b4 efans too??

 

Yes, get the tuner first. If you go through Troyer (which you should) you can always email them later, telling them you got more modifications and they will send you the tunes accordingly (but you have to pay per tune, but shouldn't be too expensive.)

 

hey polpilot where did u get ur expy console and how was the install. any tips would be great. i plan to do it

 

I vote efans before tuner, but thats just my experience, i dont have a tune yet, but the truck is running great. setting up your own efans is 3x cheaper then getting a tuner

your sound clip sounds alot like mine, just a tad higher i think. but my dynomax is all wore out and has seen better days

 

hey patman what is the darkest tint u can get on the side windows n texas??
im fixin to move there and i just wanted to c if i could get it darker

 

I think legal is 35% but i have 15% On your reg cab, i would do 25% or 15% and it will be close to 35% looks. The smaller the cab the lighter the tint looks, b.c there is a high percentage of light coming in through the front window.
