Looking to replace exhaust and add tuner. Big Gun exhaust and tuner can be had for around $500 together. HMF and PC5 is $800 without auto tune and $1000 with it.

Pros or cons of each?

Don’t want loud sound just looking for performance boost.

My son and i each bought Pioneer 1K 3's last year in February. My first mod was a Viper Elite 5K winch and his was a Big Gun exhaust and tuner. The exhaust did give his rig a slightly deeper tone and it is a tiny bit louder, but in no way was it worth $500-$600 to me. I think I read an AM exhaust is worth 1 hp and 1 ft pd of torque. It did not change the performance of his rig to my knowledge either, as they are still both dead even any time the go pedal is down. I did take my silencer tip out and cut off the screen which helped my exhaust tone and eliminated back pressure, It took me 15 minutes and was free.

Just my $.02

Louder than stock and like @outlawhondarider its a waste of money for performance. I only have HMF to fit a rear winch, actually tried to put the factory back on and there was no way both we’re gonna fit so the HMF stayed.

Well damn, I had read some posts where they said it really woke up the machine so that’s what I was hoping for but I appreciate the replies and everyone’s honesty. I was just looking to replace some of the power I’m going to lose with the new wheels and tires but guess i will look elsewhere

We need to get you to post some close up pictures of that . It is a good looking bumper and neat setup
@knuckledeep has some good ones. Maybe he can chime in. It came primed but I covered it in rinoliner and the only pictures that turn out are from the back.
