    looking to add something new to my taco. already running a TRD CAI, wanting to hear reviews on exhausts, headers, and even performance gauges, chips. was thinking of buying a bullydog and MBRP's face down exhaust.. any suggestions?

    I'll supercharge my truck as my last mod, because then the entire truck will have enough to support a supercharger (;

    Would you rather spend 4 grand on something that works, or throw a bunch of smaller amounts on something that doesn't?

    It's not what you pay, it's what you get. That's called value...

    I understand that. But drop over 4 grand for a part on a my DD, so that the part can't be used for it's purpose ? I'd rather have the reenforcement before dropping that much on a part.

    I think what people are trying to tell you, is that no other "performance" mods actually do anything, besides the SC.

    I tried that myself... My logic was flawed. You will find that you will lose a shit pile of low end torque when you get headers, exhaust, etc. Save the money for boost. The money will be a safety net if something goes wrong in the interim. You'll thank me later.
