Smile Another Noob Question...

OK, so If I were to add on cold air intake (and/or do a kegger mod or Hughes manifold), which should increase the airflow to my engine, should I also consider increasing the OUTFLOW by doing something with my exhaust system?

Right now, everything I have is factory... 5.9L gas. It makes sense to me that if I have more going in... I should have more going out...

Thanks TMIH... also curious to know of anything you may have done with your truck. I also have a 94 with the 5.2L, reg cab. Very low miles. Looking for lots of projects...

Nice! Keep me informed! I'm probably going to work on the 97 for a while, see how it goes. Then I'll move on to the 94.

I did the Kegger mod when I did my plenum fix. I also installed headers and CAI and flowmaster cat back exhaust system and installed my efans. I noticed a big difference in breathing a little better

@97Ram...Dude I love your truck's lines... really clean! I just posted another thread about removing factory trim... exactly what I'm looking at.

Did you take any pics/media of your kegger mod? I'm debating doing that or buying the Hughes intake kit. What did you notice when you did it? Do it yourself?

And on a side note... some nerf bars (black or silver) would be both cosmetically and functionally SICK!

Thanks man..... I just pulled all the decals and junk off of it this past week. Im loving the look now. I dont have any pics of the keg modded I got a little distracted while taking pics of it all painted and forgot to take a pick of the cut out runners lol. I do have a video and pic of it tho, I notices a big difference but my plenum was leaking before so that was alot of the problem and plus I put all my mods on at the same time so I really couldnt tell you exactly what the modded keg did from me but I did notice a difference in bottom end.
