Replace the stock y-pipe, that's where most of the restriction is.

How much ya wanna spend, and where do you want your power?

summit racing brand headers are less than 200, and are actually pacesetter shorty headers!

absolutely not! flat colors only go good together, when its all one color, and only if its done right!

on a side note, if you make it 2 tone with the bottom of the doors being black, it may look ok.

X2....

Shorties won't give much more than stock manifold, the y-pipe is the killer. I just sold the Gibson Shorties I had for my 98 Ram, I didn"t feel it was worth the hassel to put em on

My headers didn't really make mine any louder that I noticed but the engine sounds cooler after they are installed if you asked me. more hot roddy. They didn't add much power by themselves really it seemed but I'm all about any affordable mods that enhances efficiency on the thirsty beast.
