Default Can't decide

So lately I've been thinking about getting a throttle body, plenum and a jlt intake. I figured if I did the 3 at once I might feel a difference in power. However yesterday I heard some exhaust clips of the terminator sss catback and it sounded awesome. Which one should I go with? Intake, t/b, and plenum or sss catback?

Personally I'd do a cat-back and mid pipe first, then intake mods. Gotta get her to exhale better before you shove more air down her throat is how I look at it. I could be wrong..but that's the way I did it.

Edit: Just saw you have a mid already. Just do the cat-back then tb/plenum and intake.

Thats the same thing I did, exhaust first then more air. Plus, nothing beats the sound of a new catback. The OEM exhaust sounds like sh$t.

You won't yield much power with just a catback unless it is paired with a mid pipe but you can't beat the sound. Mid pipe will be noticeably louder than stock.

haha i was just about to say

id say go with the catback, i had the jlt intake paired with the accufab 75mm combo and yea youll notice a little difference over stock but is it worth the dough spent......nope! invest in some LTs, before you spend the cash on the intake stuff if your dead set on it

I would love to do a set of longtubes or even a set of 4.10s, however I don't have the extra cash for the install or the tuner for the gears
