Josh? Where do u live at? if your close bring your truck and when you leave youll be happy. I will weld you up a custom exhaust that exits behind your front tires....no one has ever seen **** like that..... guarenteed we will run a propane tank for some flame thrower action\

 

I don't live near Michigan...Denver actually.

I guess that's out of the question.

I had dual catback on my old truck that exited behind my rear tires...I loved the look!

 

I am in the business of selling aftermarket truck accessories. There are many brands of cold air intake. All are basically the same except for one. TrueFlow, which uses a foam filter setup. Does your truck have a hemi? If you do, you can expect 19HP and 37ft/lbs of torque. This intake does NOT change your airbox(only the filter and connector tube). These filters are reusable like the K&N and other paper filters. These intakes retail around $180 in a brick and mortar store. Will be cheaper on the internet since the guy sitting at home in his boxers running his website has no overhead. Other filters will probably give you better airflow until the first cleaning of the filter. Sources tell me that with K&N, and most paper filter setups, you will lose 3-5% filtration everytime you clean them. What does this mean? Bigger crap getting through your filter. I had a customer make K&N take his back when it started developing the larger holes after a couple of cleanings. They told him "that's normal". There is another intake(AEM or AFE) which has ram air that enters through on fog light hole and rams the air into your intake. Of course you can do the ghetto fab setup and take some hose like comes out of your clothes dryer and run it to the intake,but you spent all that money on a truck, don't cheap out now. If you can't afford to get it done right, then wait until you can. For exhaust, Gibson makes at least four different cat back systems, from single out to two square tips that exit in front of a rear tire. You can just put on a higher flow muffler, but you still have the crimped factory exhaust pipes. Not nearly as effective as an mandrel bent and tested system. Biggest increase I have seen with a programmer: 29 HP think it was superchips. If you change the tires though, the programmer will be nice as it would allow you to adjust the speedometer for the larger tires.

 

That's all very helpful, thanks.

Yes, I do have a Hemi, so if I can see 19HP and 37ft/lbs I'm game for sure!!! Gladly pay $180 for those gains.

If I'm not mistaken the TrueFlow is a dry system, correct? So what's the maintanence like on something like that. My only intake experience has been with K&N and I that cleaning process is a pain in my *******.

Also, you said the setup does not change my airbox...does this mean the airbox stays? Seems weird to me...I thought one huge purpose of after market CAI was to get the airbox the hell out of there, no?

I can't do the ram air option because I have fog lights in those bumper slots...good to know though.

I think at this point for exhaust I'm between Gibson and Magnaflow. Any comments? Sound differences? Performance?

 

what is the power wire that "everyone" is talking about??

 

same question...what a power wire?

also, 6 hemi ram, where are your 6 KC lights...light bar?

 

that reminds me... i need to take some pics of her. i have 2 KCs mounted on the bar behind the grill and the other 4 are mounted on a wood protection unit covering the back window. it looks better than it sounds....need some pics. when the weather gets warmer, im gonna rewire them, the 2 behind the grill will be wired into the high beams and the 4 above will be wired to a switch on the dash. i have room for 2 more on the top of the protector and want to put 2 where the fog lights would go. it gets pretty dark here in the mountains.

 

i have to run a test
