First step to performance.

So i took my first step into upgradeing my jeep. i put in a flowmaster cat back system and i put in a K&N cold air intake. i love the way it sounds and runs now. I got the ball rolling i cant wait to throw in some other stuff.

Re: First step to performance.

I'll tell you from experience. It's never enough. You do a few big things, get used to them and have to do even more.

I like it and i got a really good deal on it. It makes a nice rumble sound and it makes a good combination with the cold air intake.

Re: First step to performance.

I would say the first step to performance should be becoming a better driver...

Sorry, had to say it.

Before that, make sure you get in plenty of driving time off road while it's stock. Then go for things like lockers next.

If you're new to the whole off road thing then jumping right into a lift kit and big tires isn't the best way to go. It's best to work your way up, but also put your money towards things that in the end you'll still want and need anyways. I've seen way too many people throw things on their rig that at the time worked and they thought sounded good, but then later ended up re-doing everything because they didn't know what that rig should have in the first place...for their needs.
