Default engine mods for my 07 x

hey guys right now i have a jk x with a 3 icnh bds lift and 35x12.50 nitto mud grapplers. its an auto and im lookin into adding a new lod rear bumper with the nitto 35 on the back. i just feel like now my jeep doesnt really respond too well once im at like 50 mph. im lookin into and air raid intake and possibly the jet stage 2 chip with either the gibson exhaust or the borla. my questions are one will i get that much of an icnrease are the numbers qtec claims really accurate with the chip and the intake? Does anyone know how those exhaust systems sound on the 3.8 i dont want my jeep to sound like crap? any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would look into a CAI first, fuel needs air to burn

I just ordered the AirRaid CAI and the Gibson exhaust. I have heard a lot of other folks talking about it, so I went that route!

Someone here put one on a dyno with a CAI and an exhaust and got a 25-30 HP gain. I have the Air Raid, but then went with a 33" tire which probably took away that mileage gain anyway.
