Added K&N Cold Air Intake and MagnaFlow xMOD exhaust.
K&N intake is night and day from stock. Not only did I feel a more pronounced 'boost' from the turbos when I hit the pedal, the sound it makes as it sucks air in is bad ass and quite noticeable. Not to mention it's a pull off, hose down, oil and replace filter.
The MagnaFlow xMod
@MagnaFlow exhaust has been a great add. It comes with 3 different muffler module options:
"Smooth and Elegant" - which is a larger 'muffler' with the No Drone Technology (NDT) module strapped on top.
"xTreme Delete + NDT" - more of a straight pipe with the NDT module strapped on top.
"xTreme Delete" - basically a straight pipe, no NDT
I bought it and had it installed at my local CDJR dealership and listened to all three. The Smooth and Elegant was an upgrade from stock, but not enough to warrant the cost of the new exhaust - so that module is in storage. The xTreme Delete, which is basically a straight pipe, is crazy loud. Like everyone in the neighborhood knows you started your truck loud. Which, is not necessarily a bad thing
...I went with the xTreme Delete + NDT. It's a perfect blend of that TRX rumble when you start it and when you hit it hard, but with some dampening at cruising speeds. Now, I still get some drone at about 2,000 rpms in 8th gear (+/- 70mph +), but it's worth it.
I had it in that configuration for about 8 months until I said - F - it, let's go straight pipe. I worked with my son to change out the modules and took us about 30 minutes to do both. As I said above - the xTreme Delete is unapologetically loud. Yes, it's a bit much when I cold start it or get on it, but the amount of heads the exhaust turns is awesome. Well worth any drone I get at 70 mph.
Next up? Most likley the DiabloSport Cat6 - but still running my due diligence on that for the long term.
