Default I have a 96 1500 z71 and I've been looking for some thins.

So I have a 1996 1500 Z71 with the 5.7 350 in it. I also have the side-step bed on it and I can't seem to find a tonneau cover for it anywhere. I'm sure i could find some generic 4' x 6' toneau cover somewhere but I'd feel a lot better if I could get one meant for my truck.

Also, I've been looking around for a CAI for my truck to improve mileage and performance a bit, can anyone recommend a good one. And what sort of exhaust system would increase my mileage the most? I mean between a single tip and a true dual system. And if anyone could recommend anything else to improve my gas mileage, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

if you go on www.summitracing.com and search tonneau covers and put in what vehicle you have (on the left side), it will give you the results and just look through and it says which ones will fit on a stepside.

K&N makes a great CAI, but I've found from personal use it generally doesn't improve gas mileage. As to which replacement exhaust improves MPG, I will be watching this thread with great interest.
