Planned mods
Ok everyone here are some of the mods I have planned. First is a catback system 3in single /3 in dual and possible a set of shorties. Airaid Throttle body spacer, Sckyjacker Nitro Shockes. As far as cosmetics I'm thinking Grill insets, Black or White rims with bead lock look with tough nuts of course. The inside is up in the air. I have seen Billet accessories other then that don't know. It already has a Pioneer system in it. Let me know your thoughts and ideas. Also I do need to fix my door bad pin and bushings but I can't find them at a parts store, I have been told I have to replace the whole hinge. Anyone else have to do this.

RE: Planned mods
Two things. First, a throttle body spacer is worthless, don't waste your money. If you want to use that money productively go for an upgraded throttle body or a CAI. I just finished testing my CAI and throttle body combo with some nice results. The throttle has alot more jump off the line and my mpg has gone from 15 highway up to 18.5 highway. Second, dual 3" pipes is going to casue you to lose alot of low end torque. From both experience and reading alot of posts about exhaust, your best bet would be dual 2 1/4" pipes. You shouldn't lose low end with 2 1/4" pipes.

RE: Planned mods
Id go K&N Cold Air Intake and they get the cat back exhaust system or a flow master muffler.
Im going to make a list of the things I would do and post it on my website.
This question pops up every week and I want a static answer page.
Ill post up the link when I get this done.
If anyone has a list of what they would do to a stock dodge please answer up...
Also start looking at people signatures dodgeramman. There are alot of clues in there about what has been done. Feel free to send Private messages to them if you see something that you like. Almost all of the people here will tell you about there mods and rigs.... hehe
Ill post something in a few days for you..

RE: Planned mods
I would just have them tap in a muffler and keep your bends and tailpipe, i did that and its kickass, as for intake...I recommend the Fastman 52 mm for 5.9 ------ 50mm for 5.2
220.00 through group buy on here, amazing difference in throttle response. I bought the Airaid system and modded it a bit, was cheaper than K&N and other than box (which I made for 4.00)
works just the same. Lotta hype on K&N and Airaid, I have yet to see any gains

I can tell u for a fact the k&n cold air intake works. I drove the same route to work over the same hills at the same speeds for months. I noticed after the k&n that I didnt have to downshift out of 5th to clear the top of the hills. I attribute that to the system letting in more air when I press harder in the gas. Also when I goto pass I have more top end. It will not give you 40+ horse power but you WILL see an improvement. You can see in the picture below the restriction inside the outlet of the stock airbox. It just wasnt letting enough air in under heavy load...
Anyhow my 2 cents.
Also Dodgeramman check this link and you can see how the k&n installs... http://www.ronbarthelt.com/Ram11.html
goodluck

RE: Planned mods
Oh no doubt more air, but I worked it out backwards, I had my Fastman 52MM TB installed before I installed the CAI, I saw zeekxxx gains after the TB install, but quicker crisper acceleration, it was truly a big change for the 360. I just added Airaid because of the cone filter design, and i got it cheap, and it has that supercharger sound. People ask me about it, when we look at my engine, so it also makes good conversation piece. Your throttle body is your bottleneck, you can pump mass air toward the TB but if it cant utilize it, small gains. But as for a single and only mod, I would do the TB upgrade, exhaust, see how that works and If your strapped for cash, mod your existing stock air intake.
