I have a K&N drop in, Muffler delete (previous owner did this), a Super Chips.

Should I get:

Pacesetter LTs / Magnaflow Y Pipe

A 14" Mufflex / Magnaflow Y Pipe

Fastman Throttle body

Under drive Pulley

True Cold air intake... K&N?? / Volant??

With the 2 exhaust options, I'd gut the cats.

Out of these, which will yield the best gains? As of now I have ~ $180 saved in my "truck savings". I know Most these mods cost more.

I love my Vararam, but have also never had any other intakes, so I'm a little bias. But it looks BA, and gets the job done, and is one of the few "Cold" air intakes.

Unless you can do it yourself, LT headers will require install, which will cost more again.

K&N drop in air filter. Plus a sticker.
thanks.
Add E-fan to the list. What's a muffler delete? Like a straight pipe?
Ya the e-fan is on the list. How do they do with towing? And yea just stock cats, to 3" straight pipe to stock resonator.

I have one sitting in my console. Debating to install it or not; with the extreme winters up here.
