Does either one void the factory warranty? I do not want to do anything that will mess with the warranty. Also what is a good exhaust that is not super load but still sounds good?
welcome to the forum..good ?'s
Programmer=the best for the dollar is the Diablo or Hypertech but the best are the PPE tuners and if you have the time to make your own tunes go with the EFILive
Exhaust=you can't beat the Silverline and MBRP products
CAI=i would recommend the AFE,Volant,S&B,Banks or Amsoil and don't go with the K&N filters or a filter that needs oil so stay with the dry filters and i would say the AFE is the best one avalible but if you want to save your $300 for something else do this Cheap CAI upgrade for your LBZ and have something with almost the same amount of gain as a aftermarket CAI..
the ultimate setup would be the PPE,4" TB 304SS Silverline exhaust and the AFE CAI but i did the PPE CAI upgrade along with the PPE tuner and Silverline exhaust and gained almost 4mpg with this setup..just my thoughts
Just did this on my rig and it was super simple. The only thing you need to watch out for is on the top where you cut. If you go too far you will take off the hole for the top square shroud to go back in once the intake is back on. I ended up having to screw mine into the plastic in a moved over position but it worked well.

yes i noticed it has more of a whistle with the CAI mod and if you let some one else drive and you stand on the outside you can really hear a difference when it is under a hard throttle,a jet comes to mind..

Just make sure you research every option before you buy something. I know alot of people knock Banks, Bully Dog, etc. But every programmer,chip, and tuner is different. And depending on how you drive will affect your decision as well. Me personally, I just want better mileage and to be able to monitor my engine diagnostics more easily and not have to worry about Slipping my tranny. PPE is a great reprogrammer....but I'm going with the Banks 6 gun PDA system...everything is digital, it protects my truck from being damaged, and if I go to the dealer...I unhook 2 cables and it's clear. And Bully Dog makes a similiar system called the PMT that monitors your slippage and temps as well. So do all your research on every programmer and chip before you buy...because everyones truck and driving style is different.

do a search on this site about the banks stuff,the reason i mentioned this is there are a couple of guys on this site with the banks and they're not happy with the product and i have seen where banks stuff has caused computer problems on the truck..i'm not trying to be a doomsday prophet just wanted to give you heads up on what i've heard..
