They all make different claims, but none of them significantly outperform the other in any of the testing I've seen. As for programmers, I don't think there are many options. Uni-Chip and Jet Performance are the only two (and we haven't tested either of them). Nick – All the brands are going to be roughly equivalent.

I do not care about looks or sound. I drive a 2004 tundra SR5 4wd with a V8. Please advise on brand and single vs dual exhaust.

Certainly couldn't hurt to add headers, but I don't know that the money isn't better spent on a power programmer or put towards a supercharger. Here's a link to an article about UniChip's tuner: http://www.tundraheadquarters.com/blog/2009/03/13/unichip-performance-chip-engine-tuner/ Also, there are some folks who've added headers and weren't happy. One guy put shorty headers on his truck and lost power. Another put on ceramic headers, but they cracked after 40k miles. Two more reasons to skip em' I think. Bobby – You bet!

But I will definately go to a muffler shop to get a definite answer. I do have one more question though. Exhaust headers...I was looking at some JBA headers to replace the stock ones, I know ya'll had a article about aftermarket headers, but would buying some be that much better than the original? I know the new 5.7 engine is fine by itself. Couldn't hurt nothing right? Thanks. Jason- Thanks for advice, I think I’ll have to agree with you on that.

Have you talked to your local muffler shop? They're the experts and can answer this question definitively.

I've been looking to put on an "x" pipe for it, but I wasn't quit sure if I would need to get a whole new exhaust system, or would it even work?

I have an 07 Crewmax 5.7. I have Borla Pro XS complete duels. With that I have an AFE Stage II Lifetime air filter that needs no oil. Wash in mild detergent and air dry. It has the low rumble and you definitely hear it if you kick it. I haven't found a drone either. Had it on for over 2 years now. Randy I haven’t dyno’ed my truck to find out about the low end torque.

I'm worried about losing low end torque. I was also thinking about the Volant exhaust that is supposed to come out in March. It is a di/so. BTW, I have a 2010 Tundra with the 5.7.
