Default Modern Muscle Performance

So the other day I was searching for performance upgrades for the 3.6 and came across modern muscle performance. Anyone on here put there manifold and throttle body on there jeep? Was it worth it?

I too would be interested. However i feel it would be better to have them do the work on your intake so that if the dealer looked at the numbers they wouldnt see that its been messed with. Also there was a review of the throttle body on a jk and sounded good. All 5of5. May be work looking into.

Challenger or jeep makes no difference. Who doesn't want the ability to make their jeep more streetable. Where i live it isn't flat. If it made it more comfortable to drive at 70 on the interstate pushing 35's its probably worth it. And yes I will be doing a s/c when the warranty is up. Currently saving for a commuter car now.

It's more of a cost vs gains thing for me. Short of forced induction, nothing else is going to give a substantial performance gain on these motors.

Ya, that's true. 1000 for just a few horses wouldn't reply bee worth it. But if it added about 30 i would think that would be worth it

The reviews looked good on this but I would like to see if anyone on the forum has anything to say about either of these products.

There isn't too much we can do short of s/c or turbo (maybe nitrous) that we can do to get a lot of power out.... I'd love for better hiway manners but it keeps me from getting tickets! Lol.... I'm looking into rugged ridge headers for 300 on ebay tho..... Just a hint.....
