Default Performance Upgrade Advise???

Hi all

This is my 2nd post in here. I am looking for to get some more hps from my hemi. I have read a lot about some cheap & easy performance upgrades like 180 thermostat / CAI / mufflers.

I am confused...what type of DIY performance upgrades can be done in my truck
what are the good brands / reliable / DIY
what are the parts / cheap / DIY
BTW what type of mufflers (plug & play) can give me little louder than hemi standard mufflers sound..same srrounded throaty sound but little louder...I have heard of flowmaster 50 delta flow sieres or thrush welded standard. I don't need to feel resonance inside....

forgot to tell I have 2008 SLT Durango

I Like Magnaflow for mufflers and JBA for exhaust headers. Check out www.shophemi.com for upgrades,

They have stroker kits and performance upgrades. Check out the engine head swap for the 5.7 to the 6.1,

I have the JBA shoty headers on my 2007, but their site must be 'under construction' as the Durango is not there anymore. You could try TTI exhaust for headers,

Magnaflow will come with a resonator (long tube) and a muffler. The resonator sits near the center of the vehicle while the muffler is at the back end of it,
