Default first purchase

OK guys so based off of your recommendations I've just ordered the JLT CAI with SF3 tuner through american muscle. went with the 87 Octane street, 89 Octane performance and 91 race...also purchase the all black, pony delete grill. I'll post pictures when it gets here...pre pics are going to be up online tomorrow since I have none

good choice, i put the same thing on my car years back, course they didnt have the sf3, but the x3 that i got is about the same tuner. its been great. once you run the race tune, you`ll never use the other ones. also, yours will come with the red filter

Very nice! Looking back, I wish I would've gone with the JLT instead of the Steeda. Just looks cleaner imo. Let us know what your before and after impression is of the tunes! You'll be surprised just how much of a difference it makes.

You will love it. After that, get yourself some 3.73 gears and you'll be smiling a lot more. I have the JLT with SCT tuner and 3.73's.

only problem is, NO ONE around here does gears. I'm going to try to find a place, but even the "custom one stop shop" around here doesn't even do gears. I want the 3.73's with the Tlok...who knows...maybe I'll find someone that does them, if not, guess I may be driving a little while to get them done. quick question, about how long did it take for you to get your stuff from American Muscle?

Once they process the order, it's three days shipping to get to in Tampa or Orlando.

did the 2010 come with dual exhaust? that was my very first mod, then the jlt/tuner was close behind. you do realize this was much more than just a first purchase i hope. you are now one of us, a hopeless mod addict which only gets worse from here on out.

oh ya, am is pretty great to deal with

2010s are still single exhaust. Duals were my first mod, followed by the JLT/tuner as well
