Possible Exhaust System Set-UP.
Hi, I'm extremely new to the forums, I've spent two days just browsing a lot of threads that may help me in my decisions. Here's what I've come up with so far for my 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7L v8 quad cab.
Muffler: Going with the Flowmaster 50 Series Delta Flow (Stainless Steel, 3" In(O)/Out(C)) for moderate sound. Not looking for full blown look at me sound. Unless this will achieve that then no worries I'm just not going down to the 50 SUV or up to the 50 HD.
Y-Pipe: Magnaflow's Y-Pipe 2.5" In 3" Out to help reduce restriction.
CAI: K&N's 63 series intake.
CATs: Keeping the stock cats since they're only a year old, that and for warranty issues.
Headers: (My true and only headache at this time) I've been looking around Summit and AA, I've been leaning more towards AA. But apparently things aren't updated yet or it hasn't been long enough so the only ones available are either the 08 5.7 hemi headers or reverting to 07 4.7 headers selection. I was wondering if 07 4.7 headers would fit onto my v8. If so I've had these two in mind:
JBA:http://www.autoanything.com/exhausts...0A2512569.aspx
Gibson:http://www.autoanything.com/exhausts...0A2512569.aspx
Both would be getting selected Ceramic coats. Was wondering, should I go with JBA's longer tubes for the possible greater scavenging effect, or Gibson's shorties.
Any feed back regarding any of my selections would be greatly appreciated .
