ah, gotcha. Back in high school (2005) a guy bought a 91 2500 chevy with a 454. He only had it about a month before gas raped him and him trading it to take a loss.

The cold air intake should help. Look into making your own possibly, maybe cheaper. The ebay kits are hit and miss.

I've got no y-pipe really, well technically there is one built in to the magnaflow muffler. The exhaust shop cut out the factory y and ran 2 pipes into a dual in single out magnaflow, which has a y built into the muffler. Some people say that's not a good idea having the y or x in the muffler, but on the v6 I don't think it makes much of a difference. I would remove the factory Y and either get a magnaflow Y and muffler or do what I did. As for the intake check this one out http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...%26+Drivetrain, made for the 4.7 will fit the 3.7 and it's essentially a clone of the mopar intake. You can find them under the names kool vue, bomz/bombz, or velocity for $80-90, then maybe just replace the filter w/ an AEM dryflow. Also if you're looking to get better gas mileage replacing your clutch fan w/ an e-fan is the best bet, I got 1.5 mpg better after I did mine.
