performance upgrades

I want to buy three upgrades for my 06 silverado with the 5.3 in it. A cold air intake, exhaust, and a chip. I am starting this to see who has what brands of the three and if they are worth the money. With these upgrades I am looking for more of the fuel economy boost out of them. Now I like to smoke the competition with the best of them but I am mainly looking for the fuel economy. Curently I am Avg. 17.5 in the City and 20.5 on the highway with some city.

Well I have an AEM Brute Force Intake, Magnaflow/flowmaster Exhause, and no chip yet. I saw a slight increase in fuel economy once I took my foot out of it. Would I do it again? Probably. I wanted it mostly for the sound. I love the sound of the Dual Exhaust and Intake Combo.

Tip though, DO NOT BUY MAGNAFLOW with the 5.3L TOOOO MUCH RESONATION!!!! I had to put a Flowmaster Resonator in to help with the tone.... Just so you know anyways....

Lot's of guys on here rave about the Nelson Tune http://www.nelsonperformance.com but, I can't afford that one yet.

Happy Shopping....

K&N FIPK kit. Got mine new on ebay for $150. A little mpg gain but not much, noticable power increase though.

There is no "chip" in these. Your computer, or PCM, has to be reprogrammed, or "tuned."

I have a Nelson, no complaints except the price. If I had it to do again, I'd get a Wheatley tune. I also have a K&N FIPK, and a dual outlet flowmaster. Sounds good.

Corsa and Gibson make nice systems very low interior noise...

where do you get a wheatley tune and whats the price on it?

About the tuner, someone told me to go with a Predator???????
Now for blender wizard looks like you have the most mods here so far. What kind of milage are you getting and do you know how quick your truck is?

For your Exhaust, save yourself the money and just chop off the muffler. you will get the same sound if not better than the $400 gibson or Magnaflow. You will also see much better fuel economy.
I have the K&N Gen II FIPK. great system!!

Yes that could work until I need to pass state inspection

You will not be dissapointed with wheatly. I've logged several trucks that have a wheatly tune, and he definately knows what he is doing. Nelson hasn't done so great on my last few tunes. That's why I went ahead and ordered hp tuners myself.

+1 for wheatley tunes and Nelson tunes as long as the truck is fairly stock.
