Default Performance advice

I want to buy a new exhaust system and chip upgrade in the next week or so and was wondering what people have out there. I have been looking at Gibson, Magnaflow, and Banks systems. For the chip system the guys at Quadratec recommended Superchips flashpaq, but I was also looking at the Hypertech system.
I want to try and step the performance before I start to upgrade the suspension.

Ive been told the superchips is a good product, but after you purchase it support is lacking. As for exhaust got stainless, alum seems to not hold up.

You can save quite a bit of money ordering through Northridge4x4. You can get the SC of under 300.

Get the FlashPaq. Skip the exhaust and put the money towards re-gearing when you get the lift and tires...

Exhaust is just for the sound, maybe some torque but mostly for the sound. I have a Magnaflow see my sig.

Superchip is good too I have just gotten mine last week but I'm very happy so far. Support complaints are not consistent most are pleased with the support. Their forums will have answers to most questions without even calling.

I just put the MBRP stainless Off Road on and I love it.

I am waiting for Superchips to come out with a flashpac for the 2010's.
