Default 2011 avalanche exhaust

Guys i just got a used 2011 avalanche and i was wanting to put a cold air intake on it and i have no idea what brand i will choose there but i was gonna also do a exhaust system to help with the MPG and for the great sound but i don't know much about exhause systems except i know magnaflow and flowmaster but i would put turn downs on the avalanche but i don't want them loud and annoying but deep and sounds like it has a big engine in it... guys i'm in serious need of help cause i'm over my head
thanks again

Magnaflow makes the best IMO but they arent quiet. Check into Gibson Exhaust:
www.gibsonperformance.com
They make great systems with reasonable prices and they have a great sound to them, not loud, not raspy but a deep tone with no cabin drone. Its what I wil be putting on my new '12 Tahoe.

For the cold air kit, get on off ebay for $60 shipped. Spending any more is just a waste since there isn't much gain other than sound and looks anyway.

for exhaust I would just pick a muffler and have a shop weld it in where the factory muffler was

can i really trust getting one of the cold air intakes off of ebay for 60 or 90$ of these companies like BCP or eautotuning or xyztuning BUT i would rather stick with the 3 i really know which are airaid K&N and volant... if anyone else has good results with their intake and i don't know please let me know but as far as exhaust goes i don't know what to get i'm leaning to magnaflow but i don't know what sounds best as a Turndown and does anyone have experience of having any exhasust systems on a Tahoe or Avalanche????

I bought the ebay CAI kit and it is the exact same cold air kit as a Spectre brand. Fits and looks great IMO.
