Just got my 05 Dakota back from garage got new Flowmaster Super 44 with 2.5 in dual pipes to 3 in stainless tips. Had Arb shorty headers put on a couple weeks ago before the great floods here in ne pa. Also had Kn cold air intake put on. Now it's like vroom vroom big difference in power.

 

welcome to the forum! I'm wanting to put headers and true duals on mine too. Did you upgrade the cats as well? Post up some pics of your truck.

 

Welcome to the 3rd gen section of DF. Everybody is going to want to see pictures of your truck so post em' up

 

7 days on call 3 days regular work 2 more to go then I can get some pic's this weekend. Got to pay for all this work somehow! I had to replace sway bar end links again. Mine eats front rotors warping anyone else have success with slotted or cross drilled, cryo?

 

stay away from cross drilled. slotted ok, I've heard cross drilled rotors are prone to cracking. a lot of us get brakes from brakeperformance.com.

 

Some of us have the premium dimpled & slotted rotors from brakeperformance. Pretty good price right now on them as well, they work a bit better than stock.

I just put on the Brake Performance premium dimple and slotted rotors. I love them! Great craftsmanship.

 

Thanks guys looked at brake preformance place online, Dimpled/ Sloted looks good, next paycheck. I got 58K miles on my 05 now. What about front struts and rear shocks anyone running Rancho, Monroe? I CRINGE AT EVERY RR CROSSING NOW.

 

Rancho front and rear. Much better than stock, even better with TM in coil level kit, really keeps the tires on the pavement. even with 2" rear block they still have enough travel at full drop.

 

Ranchos front & rear here, probably the best money spent on my truck. I never worry about dips or bumps or bouncing.
With the stock struts, my Dak felt unsafe at times.
