I want so much but can't focus on which way to go! So I thought id put it up here and see what I got! Ok so I got about $500 to play with, my truck is bone stock other than a drop in k&n filter. So do I go performance or appearance? Things I want: magnaflow exhaust, K&N intake, GroundForce suspension, bakflip(dunno if I have $ for that), component set of mids & highs, grillcraft grille, or some combination of these. See why I can't focus?! So please give your opinion! Thanks...

 

You have to spend a lot more than $500 on performance to notice any gains. I would get exhaust, tint, HIDS, and a new grille if you have money left over. You can also nightshade your tails for $10-$20. But on your list, exhaust and suspension.

 

With 500 bucks I would get a custom programmer

 

I thought it would be better to get intake & exhaust first then work on custom tuning?

I would definitely get the windows tinited. As a fellow Floridian, knowing how freaking hot it gets here, I would get that done with summer time heat not too far away

 

Yes sir that is next but not coming out of my $500 play $

 

save it up for wheels and tires

 

Window tint and exhaust for sure. If you get an intake then you will need to get a programmer so those two get my vote.

 

Well thats 3 for exhaust and everyone realizes I need to get my tint done!

 

Well i picked out a grillcraft grill I was going to buy and then at the last minute took everyone's advice and went with the exhaust! Chose the magnaflow SI/DO the rear. Got it from performance peddler for $415.00 online, which I thought was a great price! Im happy with my choice and now just cant wait to get it installed and hear it purrrrr! Thanks for all who gave their opinion!

 

Hello!

^^Big mistake - you should have waited fer more input. Kids, lol.

$~400 just fer some 'purr' ... wow what a Bargoon!

You seem like type who also can't decide on what to have fer brekkie


Anyway - too late now, but:

Programmer first - that's yer biggest bang-fer-buck perf mod. Preferably custom fer best results.

Exhaust/intake gets ya bupkis perf-wise - just do the Gotts mod & call it a wrap.

If you install that K&N POS CAI you'll need a custom tuner to run it safely anyway, so don't even go there. Not worth the box it's packaged in. Sad but true.

You'll get 80% of the benefit of a full catback by just replacing the stock muffler with a Maggie 14"-22", 2.5" in/out (refer to Jim Allen's posts on this subject).

So - programmer & Maggie will take care of that $500 nicely. And you actually have some perf & vastly superior shifting to show fer it, along with a nice tone.

Good luck - take control of yer brain's decision-making centre already, will ya?

It's yer truck. And - can I interest you in some Preparation H?

This thread was just to get some opinions on what others may have done and what they might suggest. Thanks for urs and next time just the opinion and not ur other bull****!

 

Hello again, Little Tampon Cannon, sir! How are you doin' this fine mornin'?

Pablum all done? Tasty? Go potty? Good fer you!

Look - a thread like this, you need to wait fer more than just 10 measly replies - there are thousands of members here - if you really want a true cross-section of consensus.

Bootom line - you pulled the trigger too soon - you know it, I know it, everyone else knows it - so get over it. That's what youngin's do.

You ask fer opinion, I give it, and I also gave you some good advice, and I sense that the simple concept of a Search is beyond yer capabilities.

The other stuff just comes along fer the ride - I'm not treating ya any different than anyone else, so don't go crying to Mommie

Nappy time - don't fergit yer sippy cup.

If ya can't take some good-natured, well-intentioned ribbing, without soiling yer diapers, yer in fer a REAL rough ride here. Better stock up - WallyMart has a sale on the real soft ones right now!

Don't have any milk handy, but have some (Don't tell Mommy)

Chill bud - I do mean ya all the best, whether you can actually discern this or not.

There's always a hater! Hi hater!

 

Hello Mr. Tampon, sir!

If by that you are inferring thay I abhor Ignancy, you would indeed be correct.

This simply reaffirms my point, little one. When you run out of arguments, immaturity compels you to play the 'hater' card.

Thank-you fer yer concise, wordy, ill-reasoned, and completely inaccurate post!

Have a good weekend bud! And - Stay safe installing that catback! (Be sure to check out the threads detailing all the tips & tricks on R&R'ing the exhaust - like anything else, there's an easy way and a hard way, lol)
