I didn't notice much of a diff in performance on my 3.7L V6 when I installed the CAI but I did get my exhaust done less than 24 hours after the CAI and well I noticed a diff after that... and both mods make the truck sound alot meaner and leaner... granted I have a quiet exhaust system...

Hold off on the side bar conversations please.

4X4, your warranty won't run out with headers on. You'll be ok. It may, on the other hand, run out with the S/C on it since you have to crack open the engine and change out the cams and a few other things.

Yeah, we should try to keep it in the other threads though. tbh this thread could really use some cleanup where it's stickied and really only supposed to be about mods. We've taken it a bit off topic...[&:]

Thought you guys might want to see these. That's about all you can see of the headers once they are installed, not too exciting. The dyno graph shows a 42 lb-ft torque gain @ 2500rpm & 20 hp gain @ 2500rpm & 5500rpm, and you feel EVERY bit of it! The parts installed are Doug Thorley Headers (not Doug's Headers) shorties and a Doug Thorley Headers cat-back exhaust.

To explain the graph, the BLACK line is my all stock 2007 4.7L (non HO)2wd Dakota, the RED line is the headers only & the GREEN line is the headers & exhaust.
