What is the stock H.P. for the 03 Hemi. I thought they had around 345, but I saw on Hypertech site something about 270??

345 is measured from the crank. the wheel hp of a hemi is 263. and first mod exhaust is good, for my truck i got magnaflow exhaust coming soon and a k&n drop in air filter. i had superchips but i sold it. sure wish i had it though it made a difference from what i can tell. good luck with the new truck.

nice, i really like the look of how they point down to the side. would you not reccomend getting them like that? or is it a problem with the bracket just being weak in the first place?

i also thought about putting them like that but infront of the back wheels, i think that would look sick, and should fix the problem you have.
