Some money to burn Upgrades

No mention of long tube headers? or have we determined not really required for amount of work and cost?

At this point, most of the gains are from de-restricting the Cats. Headers are only really for those chasing numbers, completionists, audiophiles, and psychos.

I fall in the latter three categories. I literally bought my MD headers with HFC modules for the sound. (and it honestly did improve the powerband a bit).

Default Thanks!

Thank you all for the wealth of experience and ideas here. Sounds like I need to come up with a better plan :-)
Although the 'Hookers & Blow' option is 'fantastic'!

The Z1 Touring Exhaust sounds fantastic on their site - anyone have any experience with it?
I've been looking at the Z1 Cold Air Intake that relocates the filters to inside the front bumper.
I think this car handles exceptionally well, do the coilovers and upgraded braces make that much of a difference? (Don't hate on me, I've been driving a Jeep Wrangler on a 4" lift for 25+ years before I picked this 370 up).

I had looked into upgrading the audio... that CerwinVega spare tire sub looks amazing. I do have the Bose system and have read the post concerning upgrading it.

Maybe I'll see what the above will run (as you all said, sure I could spend alot more) and throw the rest at my '97 Jeep Wrangler.

Very much appreciate all the input!

I did that Cerwin Vega post back in 2019 and still have mine. Still working perfectly and sounds great. Of course I have it turned down a lot. I like hearing the tt's spooling more

The Z1 CAI does not require cutting of the Rad. frame. However, it squishes the silicone coupler through the tight openeing.

Many people have installed it and not sure what effects the restriction may or may not have. Just wanted you to be aware.

Your tuner can answer that question best.
