Hello!
I just bought a used 2017 Wrangler Sport. Need advice on some upgrades.

* What kind of new shocks do you recommend?
* What brand of cold air intake do you recommend?
* What brand of CATBACK exhaust do you recommend? (I want my Wrangler to sound badass but not like a truck)

I appreciate any recommendations! Thank you to everyone! :)
 
Shocks? What will you be doing? OEM is fine if you're just mall crawling or going from A to B.

CAI? Waste of money.

Catback? Waste of money.

X2 to this.

All of what you're after is a waste of money. A CAI and a catback will provide little to no horsepower gain (negligible at best) and the only reason you need new shocks is if you plan on lifting it, at which point I would then ask you how much of a lift, what size tires, and what do you plan to do with it?

True regarding horsepower, but the OP mentioned he wanted a more aggressive sound than stock. A cat back can fulfill this want. I don't have any first hand experience but I know others on here have done this.
