If it were me I would go with the muffler first. That way your truck sounds good.

Ya I would go with both CAI and exhaust so you truck can breath better and push the exhaust out much better, you will get a better gain with those together rather than one or the other which will Be minimal gains

What's an intercooler intake? LOL I agree with Ellis. Exhaust and intake will work better together. I f I had to get one first though, I'd do the exhaust. These trucks don't sund very manly with the factory exhaust.

for a diesel you gotta go with exhaust, cai, and tuner. Preferably a smarty tuner. Those are your base mods that you can build from there.

If he's not a diesel he could be talking about the tranny cooler upgrade

I guess we need him to clarify what he has before we can give a better answer

DIdn't see he had a diesel. I still say exhaust first though. Smoke the rice burners and tree huggers out. Ever see the look on a prius owner's face while they're driving? DOesn't driving a Prius at 75 mph defeat the purpose of owning one?
