suggestions for my first performance mod

hey guys i am thinking about putting a cai but i have heard all they are good for is noise, but what i really want is performance, the sound would just be an added bonus. So what should i do? should i maybe go with a throttle body spacer instead?

 

The TRD CAI was my first mod. Love it!!!

 

yeah i wish i could get a blower but i dont have enough money

 

from what i have heard is a throttle body spacer wont do crap, just go with a good drop in filter, and get a new muffler for the better sound

 

ok what about headers?

 

yeah im in cali. but i think i recall seeing headers that was CA legal. if i get headers do i have to get a cat back exhaust?

 

oh and sorry guys about my lack of knowledge on this sort of stuff

 

I bought a TRD Intake and had it on for a tank of gas. Took it off that week and sold it. Sounded like garbage,didn't gain any power and with my same driving habits it lost me MPG..

AFE Pro Dry S drop in is now installed and I am concentrating on other mods.

 

5.7 swap! FTW
just kidding,
the research i've done hasn't come up with any substatial gains in horsepower. after i did my lift and put on km2s i swaped out my muffler(dynomax ultraflow) and put in a k&n air filter. it almost feels like it did before the lift/tires

 

Was your loss in MPG's due to you stomping on the gas? Hard not to do on that first tank after the install.

I have definitely noticed better throttle response with mine. I wouldn't say it has give much of an improvement (but some) in MPG's but IMO it does have a nice sound to it.
