i should have been more specific, but was late for work. As she sits she is totally stock, and the exhaust will cost quite a bit, so i was thinking either cai or tuner. Also, has anyone had any dealings with the edge tuners and the hemi. So for now the exhaust will have to wait.

casper,
save your pennies for an exhaust! The CAI would be worthless if you are bottlenecking on the exhaust side. Likewise, a tuner as your only mod I think is also a waste, yea, it'll advance the timing a little, but you really need to start with the exhaust first. Besides, a you should be able to get a good exhaust job done with a decently flowing muffler for less than the price of a tuner. And you could get a NICE bolt on, complete exhaust kit and do it yourself in the driveway in a couple of hours forWAY less than a tuner...

i think i will take your advise hammer, exhaust first, and even a drop in to start with is better than stock. So now to finalize my exhaust choice, magnaflow, or a possible good flowing other brand. not too sure of the flowmasters. hearing alot of flow problems with them.

Iwill probably end up with theMagnaflows to be honest. Check out www.moesperformance.com for some pretty good deals. This is most likely where I will get my mufflerfrom and then take it to a shop to have put on, along with some custom-fit pipes.
