Im trying to figure out what exactly to do, and what not to do.
I know i would like a good CAI, and a new exhaust, now do i need a chip to make this happen? Any help and advice to what to get would help

welcome!

1. jlt, C&L are good cai
2. a lot of people seem to be pleased with the frpp exhaust kit (pricey though)
3. for the cai you will need a tune(i think) bamachips does custom tunes and others have been very pleased from what i understand.

JLT and C&L will require a tune so you will need a hand held tuner and a tune from bama brenspeed or a local shop that supports your tuner. Lots of people like the frpp exhaust kit like said earlier but its really a cosmetic mod so go listen to lots and pick your favorite. My advice is to get it fabbed up at a local exhaust shop and then start trying out different mufflers.

Get a cai, tune and exhaust to start. VMP and bama are a good place to look. There is no chip in our cars, you need a tuner. Xcal or Predator is the ones to look for. Don't waste your money on a cai that doesn't require a tune. Exhaust can be as simple as a GT takeoff muffler. Very cheap too. You will find out that you will want a T-lok and gears after you get the tune. An aluminum drive shaft might also be a good idea down the road as you have an 05 and they do not have lock-rings on the universals plus the lighter weight helps some with acceleration. Runs very smooth too.

You've come to the right place! Snoop around, read many of the posts, and get ideas of what others are doing before doing anything. Post up questions.
And get together with other locals, talk to people, see what they've done, learn what not to bother wasting money on, etc.
