What's going on all.My names joe im from philadelphia. Back in April i bought a 03 black Marauder. Looking to do a few mods to it. So far i have a jlt intake. Any suggestions to possibly add some power and noise "not to loud" would be greatly appreciated. Not looking for too much but just something i can get a nice kick out of. Thanks all in advance ;)

Welcome to the site enjoy the car and enjoy the site

good people here to talk with and get ideas from and go to events

I'd say get a tune from either Lidio (Alternative Auto Performance) or Martyo (Mo's Speed Shop) Both are great at providing tunes for Marauders and both are very reputable guys who will be happy to take care of you. They are members here. A tune gives you the best bang for the buck in instant gratification and driving enjoyment IMHO. Welcome to our little club!!

Welcome Joe. Welcome to the circus.

As for mods. Since you already have an intake. I would next get a tune as mentioned above. Then a set of 4.10 or 4.30 gears along with a set of underdrive pulleys.

Before I supercharged my car. I had an intake, tune, 4.10 gear, and underdrive pulleys. The car was a blast to drive.

BUT I wanted more so I supercharged after that along with other goodies.

For sure get a tune though.

thanks alot for all the help. A tune is mainly what i was looking towards. I heard of a "diablo tune" not sure if its junk or not. But if anyone could help me to where i can get a tune from "im in philadelphia" or order something that would be greatly appreciated. I know my share on cars but this is my first marauder want to figure out whats on the better side. As for exhaust would it be ok to have sometihng ran??? Or, order?? Thanks again all

As stated by other members, you can get a tune on a SCT tuner UPS to you from two vendors here. Alternative Auto and/or MO's Speed Shop. Both of them will send you a SCT tuner with their Marauder tune downloaded on it with options for different gear ratios or lower octane fuel for example. It wakes up the car very nicely from factory with about 20 more hp and much better shifting. All you need to do is call either of them and an they will take care of the rest and UPS it to you, then you download it thru the OBDII port under the dash. Stay away from Diablo for Marauders is the general consensus from what i here. Get a tried and true, proven tune from one of the two vendors here. Your car does not need to be there for it to get a tune. Both of these vendors have owned or still own Marauders and have done countless work to members cars here. I had a MO's tune and thought it was great and other's have had Alternatives Auto tune which I am sure equally as good.
