ok so what is everyones views on the summit racing brand parts such as headers exhaust etc.. cause i notice there parts are insanely great on pricing but do they preform. or would i be better off spending some extra cash on other brands for more horsepower?

 

If their racing team uses their products, i would think they would be good.

 

yeah i was just looking to start building up some horsepower cause my trucks all stock right now and ive been looking around, and i was just curious cause there parts are so much cheaper then other brands.

 

They are just fine. They are other manufacturers products sold at lower prices. I have the summit headers, they are actually pacesetters. I have heard the summit cold air intakes are K+N.

Don't expect too much performance unless you do into the motor and spend a bunch of money. Bolt ons and a tuner will help but expect to be dissapointed.

 

All depends on what your buying. summit rebranded k&n just came in a plane jane box for less $. summit headers get the job done, but expect rust. A friend has had bad luck with two of there coils, but... the spark box works good I guess. For the most part, I don't think you can go wrong.

 

yep Summit parts are just high end manufactures parts. I have never tried the exhaust systems but there are plenty of vids on youtube of 2nd gen rams with summit exhaust. I to have summit brand headers, they say pacesetter right on em they just dont have expensive ceramic coating just paint that burns off

 

yeah im not expecting to be able to do 0-60 in 5 seconds or anything i just wanna get it up to atleast 300 if it exceeds that then thats added bonus.. i just wanna pull up to some of these little fart cans at a light who think they are fast and show them real men drive trucks lol.

 

yeah ive been lookng around at there parts i plan on doing either volant CAI or summits CAI.. then Summits headers and exhaust.. then superchips or sct tuner. a 180 tstat Efans. and thats the extent of my parts list at the moment.... and going the summit route i can get CAI headers and exhaust for not much more then some headers or exhaust alone.

 

I bought Summit headers and flowmaster thunder series exhaust system plus a flowmaster 10 series muffler, Spectre CAI. I think it was around 570.00 out the door. I live about 50 miles from summit so I didnt have to pay for shipping but with shipping it would look like prolly 600 and some change. Efans are the best investment ever, when I did my hughes plate I installed the 180 t stat and the dual efans my truck doesnt run over 170 180 much better throttle responces out of the mods I have. I ran up against a Honda crx with fart can on the high way rolling at 55 and punched it cause he was trying to pass me and he had a ice cubes chance in hell lol


Heres the vid of my motor and exhaust the day I got it all on

lol yeah well i wont have to pay shipping either cause i live near indianpolis indiana and theres this place called tru motosports and the owner there got a deal with summit so shippings free from summit. but yeah theres a ton of kids out here with mommys old civics who put CAI and a fart can on their cars and think they are paul walker lol. so im lookin forward to whoopin some butt in a truck and watchin thier mouths drop lol
