Default Installed a nice combo today. Banks, Magnaflow, Superchip

Today I installed the Banks ram air intake, magnaflow axle back exhaust and Superchip Traildash. Everything went on pretty straight forward taking about three hours for everything. I took it out for a test drive and was pleasantly surprised about this combo. I had a full tank of regular gas so I could not run the max tune but still what a difference. Sound was mellow, sounding much better than stock. I give a lot of the credit to the Banks CAI and the magnaflow flies under the radar until you give lots of skinny pedal. Not matter what speed I could not find a droning noise. The best part, a big difference in throttle response and power. Tomorrow time to run the tank empty and grab some 93 and see if there is a even better result. My 2014 Rubicon 2 door has a Teraflex 2.5 spring lift with Fox 2.0 shocks, 35" KM2 on 17" Fuel wheels, Front and rear aftermarket bumpers with Warn Zeon winch. I think the traildash adjusting for tire diameter made the Jeep perform much smoother. Best part both computers are showing about 2.5-3 mpg better after about 200 miles, hard to beat this combo so far. Any questions about one of these products just give me a shout but I am EXTREMELY happy with all the upgrades so far.

I've been looking at the same set up for my 2013 unlimited, but I've been hesitant. Good to hear you are satisfied!

I have a custom magnaflow crawler exhaust, k and n intake and supervisor handheld on my 3.8 6 speed with 4.10 AMD 37" tires and it makes driving it similar to stock. I have been very happy with the improvement.

Ive been looking at the banks exhaust so im glad to hear your happy with it. Is there any noticable difference in power?

The combo made a big difference in the felt power. Today I was able to empty the tank and fill it with 93 octane, running the highest tune. Yesterday I did the 0-60 test running 7.5 seconds, which is pretty good running 35" BFGoodrich mudders KM2, but today I hit 6.7 running the highest tune. It is a big difference from the stock settings without mods. I am really happy with the combo that I went with. I have no experience with the Banks exhaust but there air intake is awesome. I am however a big fan of magnaflow after a few days in the Jeep is very quiet with no drone yet sounds really good with heavy skinny pedal. It really does not have that "honda rice burner sound". I am very impressed with these three pieces.

Did you try just the tuner without the intake and exhaust? I wonder how much that really helps. I have just the tuner and have been really impressed. With all the negativity towards high-flow intakes, I've been hesitant to try it.

I have no experience with the tuner BUT have had the Banks exhaust and air intake for about a year and a half the difference I noticed was throttle response was MUCH MUCH easier at the pedal, the exhaust will get louder as it wears in but NO drone on the HWY as of yet but louder than it was when new as for the air box system was kinda loud in the beginning you could hear it suck up the air, not so much now almost like it isn't there, gonna be honest haven't noticed much improvement in the mileage area after all this time and I'm on the HWY 90% of the time average is 17.5, maybe the tuner would make a difference ? then again I drive a SQUARE BOX

I installed all the components together but the tuner I believe is the component that really changed things. Yesterday I ran the mpg program and ended running 22.3 according to the dash computer. Running the 87 octane tune I was getting right around 20 and the 93 was around 17. So the programmer seems to have the most control. The banks does seem to give it that instant throttle response which in turn helps get that box moving. The Magnaflow stainless exhaust looks awesome and I am very pleased with the sound and the lack of drone. I don't believe the air intake is a waste of money or the exhaust the three pieces together are making the Jeep faster, better mileage and superchip controls on and off road performance. The crawl mode is awesome for slow and technical and being able to use your lockers in high is a feature I really like. I am really enjoying these new additions.

I don't understand why you don't just post pics here? You join last month, you have 3 posts, and you are trying to get people to email you. Everything smells like you're trying to sell something to us.

Don't you have to leave the tuner connected to run your lockers in high?
