advice on sweet intake/ exhaust combo

With so many options on the market, does anyone have any good advice or experiance with finding an exhaust and filter combo they r happy with

 

I like gibson. Are you talking about a filter or a intake, confused.

 

Exhaust is my next mod...... So far I like Gibson (sound & performance). Really concerned about the high way drone....

 

TRD intake, URD pipe bomb ( removes second set of cats and gets the pipe up where it belongs) and stock catback.
Nice and stock quiet untill you go WFO and it wails like Amy Whinehouse without a bottle.

Too soon?

I had a TRD catback on it and was too loud for me with the other mods and went back to stock catback.
It is just the way I like it now.
HP, torque increase? most likely no but it sounds good to me.

The Banks catback is the loudest I tried and it is on my son's sport prerunner now. He likes it

 

It does have some drone, but the sound never dies down over the life as much as i have heard from the flowmaster owners.
