For intake, check out steeda. No personal experience but I've heard good things.

A very popular midpipe would be a lethal off road H pipe, and for mufflers go to youtube and see which ones you like. Very popular ones are the GT500 axle back because they're cheap and sound a good bit better than stock.


Might wanna check with the local cops first before taking my recommendations. I don't want to be responsible for you getting ass raped....

Intake wise I'm probably gunna get the JLT and exhaust Im still not sure. What's the difference betweem H and X pipe? If I do those two mods would I need a tune?

depends on the wheel tire combo u want. Too much of a drop and your limited with tire size. Id suggest looking at thr pics section and seeing members rides and what their combo is.

yes...both intake and/or mid pipe you would need a tune. X pipe gets slightly better HP but its not noticeable when driving...comes down to more about personal preference in terms of sound.

Eibach sportlines.

This! I love my Eibach Sportlines. The car sits absolutely perfect with them on there. The Eibach Pro-Kit is nice, but it leaves a bit to be desired, in my opinion, in terms of drop. Do the Eibach Sportlines! Lots of us have done them and we all love them.

how about i just put a K&N cone and H pipe and AB's would i still be safe to run the car like that?

does cali allow you to have a catless vehicle?

A tune voids your warranty as well.

If you want a tune, talk to shaun@AED. He'll get you on the right track.

To answer your question, no it will not be safe. Do it right the first time.
