Intake and Exhaust

I know there is no correct for my questions but I am looking for opinions with personal experiences to kinda help support them. With that being sasid here is my two questions:
1. Best option for an intake system, to replace the factory setup.

2. Good exhaust, complete system from the turbo back. I am leaning to the MBRP 4 in system with a 4 or 5 in. stainless steel exhaust tip. I realize that a full stainless exhaust is better but is it really worth the extra few hundred dollars ovewr the glavenized ones. I have had vehicles in the past that went many years without the exhaust rusting out.

With the exhaust and intake upgrades will see any increase/decrease in mileage. I am averaging arouond 17 unloaded and would hate to see that change for the worse.

Thx in advance

With the intake and exhaust you should see a slight increase in mileage along with quicker turbo spoolup more mid range power.

I would reccomend the first AFE Intake on this page

For an exhaust, MBRP now offers a stainless system with a 3" downpipe that connects to a 4" pipe for the rest of the system.
There is less than a $100 difference between the stainless and aluminized system.
MBRP Stainless systems offer a 5 year warranty while the aluminized systems come with a 1 year warranty.

Give me a call and I can set you up with a package price including exhaust, intake, and a tip.

You might not see a substantial increase in mileage but you definitely won't hurt your mileage....that is, if you keep your right foot out of it
