Question Recommendations for CAI, Muffler, and Programmer..... Please!

I'm ready to purchase all 3 of these items but I would like to know which ones pack the most bang for the buck so if you have them on your JK let me know what you think. Thanks

Here you go. I'm running the 3" cat back and have been very pleased. Sounds good and provided some power improvement. Very well made and easy to install. The price is also really good. I think I got mine through Quadratec.

I've never had any luck with CAIs so I just used a drop in K&N.

Funny when he's like "Holy smoke!" and you see out the window and it looks like he's going about 10mph.

Been a lot of threads here about intake and exhaust. From what I've read, you get, what, 210 HP from a stock setup. Add CAI and a nice exhaust, you end up with . . . 210 HP, but maybe a little less low end grunt.

It seems you might as well spend the money on a mod with more benefits.

Well, CAI alot of guys will tell you to not waste money on. There's no gain. I got a K&N FIPK and i didn't notice much. Sounds good though...haha. Alot talk about Banks, Airaid and AEM. I'm thinking of getting rid of my K&N to buy a snorkel. Muffler...i'm using a flowmaster Super 44. The muffler is all what you want in sound. Mine is pretty deep and loud, but its how i wanted it. I relocated it also. Dynomax just came out with an axleback dual system that is pretty cheap and looks nice. I have looked into the Rusty's offroad relocated kit. It comes with a glasspack muffler and a high tuck tailpipe. Its a nice kit too for the money. Programmer...hands down Superchips. Thats what i'm running and i noticed the biggest gain there.

I have a borla system I got a deal on and it sounds pretty good. Low growl with a rumble when I let off. I left it in the rear cause it's small and I'm still under the heat shield. K&n filter too. But all is for sound and weight reduction.
