Is it worth it?

Are any of these really going to help my truck much...and if so, how are they going to help? (drive a '05 5.4L f150 Lariat 4x4)

-Intake

-Chip

-Programmer

-Dual Exhaust

I wish knew more about these thing, but i don't.

no

Tuner is a plus

dual exhaust will be nice sounding....but won't give much in REAL performance gains

A programmer/tuner adds about 25 Hp and better shifting. Plus, if you get the Edge of the Gryphon, you get gauges to monitor many functions. Best mod I have made.

Intake and exhaust together will make a difference. Add a programer to the equation and you will deffinatily see a big difference in performance. I have all 3 and the performance is night and day compaired to bone stock.

Exhaust is great for sound that's bout it. That with the combo of intake and a chip/programmer you will see the "gains" they advertise.

It's worth it... depending on what you wanna spend for that much hp. Is it worth it for you...?

I installed the Magna-flow first...great sound, no gains.
Next came the Volant CAI...great sound, no gains in mileage or performance.
Added the Edge...Holy Crap, brand new truck.

With all mods together the truck sounds and performs great . Still no mileage gains that I can tell, but I really get on the pedal. If I laid off it I wouldn't be surprised if I got a 1 or 2 mpg more out of it.
