Upgrading my T-100

[mattb66]

Hi everyone, I have a 1998 Toyota T-100, with the 3.4L V6. I want to do the following to my truck over the summer while I save up money during an internship:

New Intake
New Exhaust
New Sound System (As the music I play is either hit or miss with my current speakers).

I was wondering what you guys would reccomend, I was thinking K&N for the open air intake and that was about it so far. Any ideas would be well appreciated, thanks!

Here are some random pictures, its a 2WD but I like to take it out mudding on occasion. I used to have some real nice clean pictures but I have lost them :

Oh and I was also thinking about a spray in bedliner as I currently have a drop in one but it rattles constantly since it isnt fully in place.

From what I've read...the K&N CAI setup doesn't do anything fer our trucks...

There should be lots of info on that in various forums...

How much you looking to spend on yer truck? Pull yer plastic bedliner out and take a peek at yer bed to check it's condition. Gonna venture to say it might be kinda beat up from those AZ winters...

Most people I've found seem to like the LineX spray-in liners. Good service and great product. Can't beat that...

I had the 3.4 V6, it was a pretty decent motor. I would recommend against the K&N FIPK, but instead go the cheap route with the "Deckplate Mod" It worked great on my 04 Tacoma (it had the 3.4), cheap and decent results for about 20$

As for exhaust, I had a full TRD cat-back exhaust, it was wonderful, albeit very pricey. Cheapest way for better sound is have a muffler (like Magnaflow) welded on where your current one is along with a new exhaust tip, run you about 150$ with labor at a muffler shop.
