Thumbs up New North-Westerner Here (OR/WA)

Hi there! First time Jeep owner here. Just bought a new 2014 Jeep GC Overland in True Blue yesterday. Due to circumstances, I gave up my dream car for the GC (a CTS-V), but so far so good.

Looking forward to learning more about the car, her capabilities and taking her out for some fun excursions. Would love to hear from some of you that have any helpful advice or links that would be good for a newb and fellow GC WK2 owner (useful tips, info, mods, etc.). Thanks!

Here are a few pics:

Thanks! After doing a bit of research I'm interested in installing either a K&N or Airaid intake, tint the front windows and possibly the windshield, swap the resonators and mufflers for some magnaflow units and then tune her.

Any thoughts on the intake, exhaust or tune would be awesome!

Your good choices on exhaust are Corsa Cat-back Polished Pro-series, Flowmaster Force II or Magnaflow Stainless cat-back Perf. You can compare them here: Jeep Exhaust Kits
K&N 63-1563 would give you cool hp gain and throatier sound.

Pulled the trigger on a K&N which should arrive this week for install this weekend.

Going to wait a bit on exhaust, but likely just have my exhaust shop weld up some Magnaflow mufflers and an x pipe and save myself some cash.
