for exhaust. you cant go wrong with a magnaflow catback, but they are overly loud. im gonna buy one this week i think from full line exhuast. 377 shipped, cant beat that.
for intake, there are a ton out there. lots of people are reporting problems with the FIPK fitting correctly. i have a UPD, which i bought for 100 bux used. i wouldnt pay the $200 + price tag for one new. i like it, but thats way too much for it. the true flow intake looks like a good one if its less than 200. IMO volant is probably the best, but at 300 bux is alot of money.
for a real kick, you could spend 400 on a nelson tune and get more power than the intake and exhaust would have given you.

Please elaborate on this NELSON TUNE. Maybe I've been out of the loop too long, but WTF is a Nelson Tune?
Info and an explaination would be cool....

there is a member on this forum that does custom tunes. it is the same concept of a handheld programmer like hypertech, but makes alot more difference in adding HP. get in touch with Allen (screen name is Farmtruc), he will send you a PCM , take yours out and mail that one back to him. it is a direct exchange so your truck won't be out of commission. he can custom tune the PCM to match whatever mods your truck has. if you keep adding additional mods, he will update your PCM. i think the only thing you have to do if pay for the shipping of the updated PCM if your mods change. depending on what year your truck is, depends on how much is charged. i think it is in the in $400 range. i'm sure someone here can give you more info

No problem. Its going to be a little while before I can get headers installed. But hopefully not too long. I'll let you know.
[/QUOTE]if you do a header install. let me know how it goes. i am reluctant on doing it since i have a '99 and i am assuming that i might break the head off a rusty bolt trying to get the manifold off
