    Truck: 2007 Tundra limited crew max 5.7L 4x4

    Disclaimer: this truck isn’t a daily driver but will be used for highway travel (300 miles each way), projects and hauling here and there. I will be doing modifications a little at a time not throwing larger sums of money at it all at once. I’m not necessarily looking for mods that are for off road, racing or things along those lines. Performance, fuel and update mods mostly.

    With that said, I’d love to hear peoples suggestions of where to start? What parts? Prices? Where to purchase? Ect?

    I’m leaning towards the following all in stages:
    1. CAI (S&B) though I’ve seen these are a bit noisier.
    2. Tuner
    3. Cat back exhaust (Dual)
    4. Headers
    5. Open flow catalytic converter

    I think it all depends on what you are wanting. The S&B is like $300 or should help some with mpg and give more roar when you step on it. What are you wanting with a tuner? I just learned about Pedal Commander this past weekend from posts on here, that's about $300 as well and improves throttle response. Exhausts systems are more but a lot of people love what DirtyDeeds does. And I don't have knowledge on your last 2 items. What is most important to you? I'd get the items that make more of an impact for your needs.

    What’s important to me is performance,(Highway and towing mostly) maintenance, longevity, mpg and changing the look. I’ve looked into pedal commander also. I’m leaning Towards the Bully dog. Though I will say I’m disappointed that their new touch screen models are not available for Toyota’s.

    @MTRock I am not familiar with the muffler but I’ll look into it.

    BAMuffler is same as DirtyDeeds, everyone here loves the service that he provides and he will work with you to provide a muffler that meets your needs.
    If you are wanting performance, I'd start with bulldog and/or pedal commander. Some members are running both and love it.

    I definitely appreciate the insight. I open to speaking with Keith. I’m new to Tundras. However, I do research daily. With that said, Everyone’s needs, experiences and knowledge is different.
    It’s nice to hear the suggestions and gives me more to look into.

    All we can do is help you narrow the choices and provide more information. It's your truck and you know what you need and like. Good luck and keep us posted.
