Default Newb With A Question

Hello everyone. I have a few questions. After scanning through previous posts, I have decided to purchase the 22" magnaflow muffler and have it welded to my stock pipes. Is this what is recommended? Also, is there any benefit to a cold air intake. I do not want to lose too much low end torque. If they are beneficial, what brand is recommended? Lastly, I would like to get an exhaust tip. What do you recommend?

Thank you in advance.

Oh, I have an '08 5.7L.....

If you want the engine to be noisier then get a CAI if you don't then stick with your stock airbox. I put an Airaid on and at certain RPMs it is loud as hell. Like conversation stopping loud with the windows rolled up. The TRD is not as loud but costs the most.

I don't really think I lost anything low end but cant really tell anywhere else in the RPM band. It's not going to give you that hang on to your @SS pull over what you already have.

As for keeping stock pipe and putting in a magnaflow, this is fine. Not an issue at all. Keeping the same size exhaust is usually a pretty good thing if you aren't redoing the entire exhaust from the heads back.

Pick your tip, there are plenty out there. Rolling Big Power - Diesel Performance, check ebay, Toyota has them. Check with the muffler shop that is going to put your magnaflow on, I'm sure they have some to choose from. Pick what you like.

I've heard a lot of good comments on this board for Volant and AFE CAI. Is that magnaflow you got dual-in/dual out?

I just bought a dual in/single out magnaflow. I added on a nice rounded edge tip too. Sounds awesome, feels awesome! No drone on the highway.
