Default Performance upgrade suggestions

I have an 09 Dodge crew cab sport slt with 5.7 hemi and dual exhaust.. Looking for suggestions on air intake, throttle body spacers and any other options. Anything would help, thanks.

A quick addon would be a new cold air intake system. Seems AirRaid and XFI seem to be the two most popular around here.

the stock intake flows pretty good,a drop in performance filter and a performance muffler will give you the most bang for your buck throttle body spacers are a waste of money

K&N drop in filter, Superchips is really close to releasing a programer for our trucks,and get rid of that restrictive stock Y-pipe for a better one or go with true duals all the way back.

If you do true duals I hear adding X pipe in is a good thing to do not sure why though

not trying to hijack the thread, but while talking about exhaust, i have an slt non sport, so single exhaust, would it be an issue to change it to a dual exhaust, and what setup would give it the most power?

wonder if anyone is running the mopar high flow intake yet? I've thought about getting an intake, but my friend has one on his 07' and the noise from it is ridiculously loud... I still want to be able to talk in my cab at 3000 rpm...

I've got a slt also with a single exhaust.Would changing out the muffler and taking off the resenator do any good.Has anyone here done that and if so any video clips with sound?
Thanks Sam

True duals dont make any sense unless your going to put on longtube headers and do a cat delete, the only thing your going to achieve is a slightly deeper tone.

Yes! I had all new exhaust done from the cats back.... tore everything out and started from scratch. True duals with 2.5" pipe all the way, Magnaflow X-pipe, and two flowmasters... I wasn't expecting to notice any power gain, but that did make a difference.
