Upgrading exhaust questions on a 2010 - rear valance? headers? X-pipe?
Hi
I just bought 1/2 of a 2010 with a stock 4.0 - my son bought the other 1/2. While I likely won't get to drive it much he seems more than happy to let me help fix it up a bit. I've already ordered a CAI and a throttle body and am now wondering about upgrading the exhaust to dual but have some questions:
- Will a GT's rear valance just bolt on? Am hoping to find one at a salvage yard.
- Will a dual exhaust "kit" also just bolt on? Would like to do it with my son if it isn't too bad. - Same for an X-pipe and Shorty headers.
- With headers though are they worth the cost on a stock 4.0 that won't be tuned? Will they give a few more horses or just sound nice?
Any suggestions on a decent setup that won't break my burger flipping son's budget (I still get to kick in 1/2 - lucky me!) would be much appreciated.
Thanks for the time.
