Well...

I like the adjustable powerband

and the boost bar myslef
http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main...products_id=39

Other than that, since this is an EVERY FRACKIN DAY type of question, there should be 1000s of threads to get others input very quickly with a little effort.

I would try to get exhaust headers and a cat-back system. Try Magnaflow or JBA,

^^ 2 pages not found ?

I have wondered about this too though...yanno some of the simpler things to do that don't require a lot of mechanical knowhow.

I'm still waiting to get a custom box and tints for my durango, after that I'm up in the air about whether or not I want to do antyihng else. I've thought about an exhaust but the Durango is already loud as hell anyways, it would pretty much mean waking up my whole neighborhood when I get up in the morning lol

I'll give you a quick list of what I've done.. I'm not mechanical at all..(im a computer nerd)


1 - replaced the stock intake with a home made one.. Added a K&N filter to that.. Really easy to do, just search the forums, there are a handful of helpful walk-thus

2 - Remove the clutch fan. As long as you have an electric fan, remove the clutch fan. Pick up a lower temp thermostat and find a shade tree mechanic to install it for you.

3 - Superchips.. Superchips..Superchips.. I was skeptical on these for the longest time, but last week I found one on Ebay for 125.00 so I went for it. After everything Ive done this is by far the best 125.00 I've spent on the truck since I've owned it. The difference really is amazing. You can grab one on ebay for 150 last time I looked. The model I got was the 3715.
