well i'm gonna take the jump and start ordering parts, starting with some long tube headers...i think. i'll probably change my mind, go back and forth etc.

i appreciate everybody's input and will continue reading, so please keep posting.

 

good choice, get the long tubes by dynatech, they are stainless and will last for ever

 

For about $1,100 you can get an AF1 intake, Magnaflow cat-back and three tunes custom written for your truck from Troyer.

If nothing else spend less than half of that for the tunes.

My first mod was a Borla cat-back, felt a touch more power, sweeet sounds, and gained 1.8 mpg highway.

Second was a 3" AF1 intake, there was much more power noticeable at mid to high rpm. The sounds were freakin' sweet with that too.

And then I got Toyers tunes..

There's no doubt in my mind that the tunes are the best investment you can make in your truck. It's like after an 8 minute download I have an entirely different engine and transmission.

Give Troyer a call, I wish I had to begin with.. I'd have saved a couple hundred $ ..

 

Do not get the TB or MAF until you have a tuner for them.
