Here's my nasty stock Y-Pipe:

Here's the Magnaflow 2.5" di/so 3" Y-Pipe I have now:

I went with the FM Delta 50 and couldn't be happier. Well I probably could but I'm inexperienced at the age of 20 and this was my first muffler.

Here's what the CAI looks like if you're interested in doing that as well:

How much are you looking to spend on mods? That usually helps narrow down the list of things you can do to add performance.

Knowing this will help me toss up what's in the realm of pricing. And I'm sure other more experienced veterans (Teacher, and others) will have some input as well.

Good luck with the performance mods. I live in norther CT im sure your not going to want alot of performance for the truck in the snow. I'd start with a lot of weight in the back of the truck first. I have a 4x4 so i dont have to worry about it.

Like some have said already you need to have an idea of where you want to go, either how much do you have to spend or how much power do you want to make. The HP gets more expensive as you go up the scale towards max HP.
