Default Intake an exhaust combo

Looking for a exhaust an intake combo that actually improves HP/TQ an maybe even MPGs.... Any suggestion was looking into headers with cat back an a cold air possibly a snorkel kit... Any input would be appreciated...


Thanks

I just put in the "AEM" Brute Force and a "Flowmaster" 50 series muffler, very happy, did notice a bit more power, MPG up about 1.5.

If you want more horsepower and torque I would get a programmer. It will make more impact in the power than the intake and exhaust. You can add those later if you still feel you need them

I agree. I started with the exhaust and CAI (Borla and aFe) but the noticeable gains came when I got my programmer.

2011 also
stage 3 pro dry s, silver bullet and mbrp (not the offroad)
In retro ...I'd wait the programmer out

I'd equate it to passing gas that turned out to smell horrible.
At first it sounded great but then you wish you hadn't done it.

Check out a Sprintbooster. Don't waste your money on exhaust or intake.
