what should my first mod be?
right now i have about $1000 to spend on my truck and i dont no what to do first, so i'm asking what do you think i should do first?
sorry for double posting. this one was not supposed to have been posted. |
I would say a K&N air filter and a nice cat back exhaust.I guess it all depends on what you use your truck for.
|
performance or appearance?
|
2wd or 4x4?

Well i would get rid of those POS stock tires myself.... then maybe get an intake/exhaust to use the rest of the 1000...

body lift, wheels, tires, grill, intake, chip/programmer, headers, audio, toneau...
the list goes on and on... or keep saving and get the superlift. i would leave exhaust last on my list |
For 1 k I would go with
K&N intake should be around $250 Flowmaster 50 series should be around $250 BFG at ko 31 x10.5 Shoudl be able to get them installed and balanced for $500 |
Do you do any wheeling? Or is it an on-road only truck?

to me k&n isnt worth the money you are paying for the name.
second flowmaster sucks.. its been proven many times.(hp wise) and why 31s? he already has 245/75/16s. its practically the same size. if ya want new tires get 265/75/16s or a 32 inch tire |
id get a Body lift and 33's

Actually if you want to try and improve mileage swap the tires for a tonneau cover. Given gas prices doing what ever you can to increase the mpg is good.

there is a dyno sheet around that show magnaflow exhaust and aem intake i think not sure and pulled 201 at the wheels. im not gonna argue over this, choose what you want, all you have prolly ran is flowmaster. ive had the stock exhaust, dual magnaflow, dual flowmaster, and now im using a SI/SO borla. since ive had all of them i would rank it like this... 1. magnaflow 2. borla 3. flowmaster |
Hey now no fighting in front of the new guy!
|
im not... im just giving an opinion...

+/-5hp in a 3.sl0w doesn't mean anything, but a Flowmaster sure sounds great! Depends on your priorities, I guess.
