Default What improves performance?

I have a 2009 JK with no modifications as of yet. I've heard all kinds of things help (and don't help) improve throttle response, gas milage, hp, torque, etc. Wondering about cat back exhausts, cold air intakes, chips, spark plugs and any other ideas. Thanks!

Your best bets are:

* Superchips or Hypertech programmer.
* Exhaust (I'd look at MBRP and Cool Tech)
* K&N Drop In filter. You'll get some minor hp gain with a CAI, but Jeeps are already overprone to hydrolock. Not worth the risk, IMO.
* They're not out yet, but the RIPP headers look promising.

To unlock more power, you're looking at a supercharger or Hemi swap.
