2007 1500 v6 with K&N drop in, aluminum pipe from box to TB, magnaflow, home made power wire (thanks weedaho and OklaHemi!), 18 alloys wrapped in 275/65 LT tires. I get 20 as an average, 25 on a straight highway drive, and 15 towing nearly ANYTHING (be it an empty car dolly or a trailer with 6000lbs on it). Next step is an E-fan, finish the exhaust, and heads.
