Adding chip, cold air intake, Need advice!!

I'm upgrading my 2008 f350, 6.4 turbo diesel and would like some suggestions for performance chips, cold air intake, exhaust, shocks/air bags and gooseneck hitches. I'm sick of the bad gas mileage. I have plenty of power. When I first bought the truck it was getting 15-17 city and 19-23 hwy. took it to Ford for service, the reset my computer and now I get 12... All the time. I'm getting a bigger horse trailer and want to make sure I'm prepared. Taking my truck for a tranny flush before I start modifying. Any suggestion on products you've tried would be great. I want to stay around $350/ per item, lol... Thanks!!

DPF-R from Gearbox Z may do you some good. You can get a no HP increase tune that just deletes the regen stuff.

I would not suggest running much HP unless you stud it. But you can run factory power with the foot to the floor all day long.

Nothing is chipped anymore. It is computer programming.

Muffler

I run a spartan (+210) and K&N. Just wondering if a muffler can be installed to quieten it down a bit?

I was using a SuperChips programmer, but after doing an EGR delete and some other mods, I switched to an SCT tuner. The SCT has way more options for common mods and can also store up to three custom tunes that you can get from various sources. I haven't done anything with the intake on my truck yet, as I'm a bit concerned about the dusty air we have here in Colorado.
