I have a 05 dakota with the 4.7 v8 in it. i am having trouble finding a good website to order parts on. im looking for a performance exhaust manifold and which one would anyone recommend. i already have a k&n cool air intake and a flowmaster exhaust and im planning on getting a smartchip turner.

 

There is not a lot of aftermarket support for 3rd gen Dakota's. Try summit or jegs for headers. Also ebay. Get a superchips 3865 tuner. Best one out there. Welcome to the forum.

 

^ touche...and welcome sir

 

Thanks ill look into the superchip. what about throttle body spacer are they a waste of money or do they do anything.ive been hearing mixed reviews.

 

Throttle body spacers are only good if you are use nos other than that don't waste your money just get a bigger throttle body

 

E-fan

 

I agree with dudes above. For not a lot of money score a Jegs Header, Go Superchips, then slap in a E-fan. If looking to spend a bit more throw a HO camshaft in the engine. Barring a turbo or a supercharger that is about as performance as you can make the truck.

 

cold air intake, throttle body (not throttle plate), superchips tuner, electric radiator fan, nice free flowing true dual exhaust, H.O cams and regear the axle. That about sums it up for out trucks.

 

http://www.airram.com/ (aka: 4.7 Performance Central) is about the foremost site for 4.7 power add-ons IMO...

 

Headers really don't do much for these trucks. It's the factory y-pipe that robs the power. Your better off getting a good cat back system and replace the Y-pipe. You don't get a lot of return on investment with headers.
