you got the 4'' exhaust right, but that is about it. there are alot better filtering systems out there. Kwik filter, Ford AIS, or even the overpriced AFE stage II is better than the K&N. i feel K&N is just for dragracing. for a chip, go DPtuner or TS performance. they are truely "chips", not a fueling box like the edge Juice/Attiude or a prorammer or tuner like the Diablosport Predator

defanitely MBRP. the choice of 4'' or 5'' is up to you, aluminized or stainless. for the chips, go to www.dp-tuner.com, or www.blackclouddieselperformance.com for the TS performance chips. or you can go straight to www.TSperformance.com

I originally had the Bully dog power pup and can tell you first hand it is nothing at all compared to my DP tuner! The 80hp on my dp is better than the highest setting of 120 on my Bully Dog! But I'll be glad to sell you a real nice shiny Bully Dog Power Pup for a great price!!!LOL!

I stand in agreement with these guys on the chip, DP Tuner is the only way to go.

Intake, look at the Kwik filter setup. Flows a lot of air, and you can't beat the price. Run a search on the forum and you should find a lot of info.

Exhaust, I agree with several of these guys that the MBRP system is the way to go. Also look into an Aeroturbine muffler to add to the MBRP system.

Yet another vote for Jody! I'm pulling my TS to go with a new Jody chip!! AND this will be my 3rd and final fueling switch - I started with an SCMT (then stacked an Edge E-Z with that), then went with a TS chip, and now going to DP Tuner! Whew!!

I will repeat what everyone has stated. Don't make the mistake some of us did (Including myself) by going with something else. Go with the DP-Tuner the 1st time around. I had the Diablosport Predator tuner prior to the DP-Tuner chip. The chip is much better.
