Default DIY Mods?

I fixing to get a Phoenix chip but I like to know what DIY mods I can do before hand that will help over all with out hurting anything?
I know I have to do a intake mod, I like to do a 4" down pipe all the way back, is there any thing else that I can do or should I do?

If your exhaust is still good maybe just put a free flowing muffler on it, the huge stock muffler is the big restriction

you can search Walker BTM for 7.3 & come up with a part # I believe

I just hate to see folks cut a perfectly good exhaust off like someone I could mention...me. I don't believe the 4" exhaust gained me much if anything at all on a stock truck with just a chip but I had no idea about other options when I bought the 4"

Other things to check out are the Zoodad and Hutch mod. Both of which have merit, but I dont know if there is any proven gains.
