How to get the best performance + sound

Just kind of looking to gather opinions on what my options are for a really nice sounding/performing intake + exhaust system. I see a lot of people skip buying an intake and instead just remove the resonator and add K&N drop in filter. Opinions on that? I really just would like to have a nice sound when I'm driving. Something aggressive and distinct. Thanks in advance for all your thoughts and opinions.

Best performance and sound, buy a ATLP exhaust. The intake you will only hear when on the throttle or wot. CAIs will give you the loudest sound.

It all depends, the atlp exhaust is a grand. And other cat backs are up there as well. Unless you go custom then your saving money. But the cold air intake range from 150-400. Depends what you get and where you buy it. But the best gains for performance are headers in my experience. Added a lot more horsepower than the cai

The Best Performance Combo IMHO is Headers + CAI.
Next would be Cat-Back but mostly for Sound, The gains from it are not worth 1K...

Bang for the Buck: Custom Pipes + Comptech Axle-Back.

Hey, on a side note, I see you're from WI too fatty. About how far from Milwaukee are you?

I'm on the north side of Milwaukee. If you know the city at all I'm by kitts custard and Dineen park. Right between the two. Kukle for the ATLP system to get on the Los you either purchase it from the site or arrange a payment plan w Marcus to purchase the system. I believe he said he's willing to accept payments in 1/3rds. After at least 8 people committ to the buy they will make the systems and ship when complete.
