Question What do you recommend?

I want to put a good sounding exhaust system and a CAI. Maybe some sort of computer chip it it doesn't mean I need premium. I also want a winch. Thanks.

T-Max are great and WARN for winches. Make sure to do your research and don't settle for cheap. Advice is to look for in a winch - not just the maximum pounds it can pull (for example 9000 pounds) but what the winch can pull after each turn. Some winches will signficantly loose pulling power after revolutions.

I like the Borla Cat Back and the K&N drop in. That combo gives you a boost in power, not sure about gas savings yet, just put the Borla on and pulled the Air Raid off. (better for fording) I think most chips require premium for the performance gain.

I have an Airaid CAI and a relocated Magnaflow muffler, similar to the Cool Tech set up, but I only paid $100 for the muffler (Stainless steel Magnaflow, Summit $88 + handling). One of the local shops was going to charge me $40 to weld the muffler in and make and install a tailpipe (got it FOC). So most anyone should be able to have it done for around $150. I'm just relocating the factory heat shield also.

Thanks. I'm looking for a part number for the 1 in - 2 out Magnaflow that goes in the original location. I have a 2 door, so it's harder to relocate.

I considered going with a T-MAX winch and decided not too. They are now manufactured in China. The Warn winch itself is made in the US. I did discover there are a few parts for Warn are made in China. (Clevis hook, remote control assy and mounting hardware)

If you would like a great Computer chip that DOESNT require premium fuel, go with the UNICHIP.
