Not sure on the exhaust, but, I perfer the K&N. Has a real good name behind it. I outfitted my 6.1 with it. Thinking about upgrading the pipe to stainless steel.

putting a name behind something doesnt mean it's a quality product lol.....granted K&N has been around awhile, I think there are better products available.....I have an AEM Brute Force CAI on my truck and am putting on a AT3030 muffler with Pacesetter LT headers.....just kind of depends what your looking for i guess......this AEM i have is the first CAI i've had that does not make a whistling noise and i've been looking for that...damn whistling sound is annoying

and yes, I have a name brand product because it was cheap and it dont have the whistling sound lol

I would like to see a pic of your AEM installed. It's oil less right? I've never had a cai before so I don't know much about a whistle.

I don't know about intake, don't have one. As far as the exhaust I went with Magnaflow, I got it put on just yesterday. Man!! The thing sounds great!!! Not loud in the cab, and a nice low sound outside.

Thanks. I'm still trying to decide what cai I want. I was thinking K&N at first, I have always had good luck with there replacement filters in other cars. But this dry AEM sounds good and plus I think I read it the same as the Mopar intake.
