Default Wondering what to do next???????????

So I have a 2008 Wrangler 2 door and i ahve made some decent modifications:
Volant CAI cool air intake
Borla cat back dual exhaust
Power Aid Thottle body spacer
Garvin Wilderness roof rack
2 KC long range/2 KC fog lights (on rack)
Best Top soft doors
Herculiner in the bed and under the seat
Pioneer dvd dead unit with 7 inch screen / BOSS audio slim sub / kenwood 6x9's (on a custom board that seals the trunk when top is off)

........so it sounds great, looks nice coming down the road, but I want some more power and would like to hear it in the engine when I punch it. I have considered getting the Gibson headers but I have heard that they are a waste of money and more for show in a V-6. I havent lifted it yet as I am stationed in Germany....but I plan to in the spring. What suggestions does anyone have.

DAK,

True I never intended on speed in a jeep but it would be nice to have it sound like I'm driving my old 97 z71 with straight pipes. What do you mean by gear swap? I'm thinking of a 3.5 lift from ZONE OFF ROAD and 33' BFG All Terrain with a 1 inch spacer.

Is that 4.5" of lift for 33s? Or are we talking 1" wheel spacers? If its all lift I feel thats a little much since I along with alot of others are running 33s with no lift.

How about wheels, tires, gears, suspension, bumpers, sliders. You know the stuff most jeep guys care about.
