I am now a believer in doing performance enhancements to my 2004 ram 1500 hemi. It started about 2 wks ago my muffler and pipes on the verge of rusting out and falling off. I didn't want to take it to midas cause they ripped me off a few years ago so I found a local shop here in town that does mufflers as well as performance exhaust systems. Long story short I took a chance and took it to him. I found out the OEM exhaust system is going to cost me like $800 buck while a performance exhaust system from magnaflow would only cost me half of that $450, ok a little more than half. So I went with the performance on and boy what a difference!!!! It took him an hour and a half to order and custom build my exhaust system and when I got it back I thought I was imagining things. Right off the bat I was able to feel the power and take off of my truck, I was very impressed. So I was heading home minding my own business and this dude in his bmw pulls up to me next at the light. After 2-3 lights of him acting silly at the next like I said to myself ok I said ok going to take you at the next light. Light turn green and I punched it and all I can say is that he was eating my dust. So after all that I thought to myself heck if an exhaust system can really help that much how much more if I get a cold air intake. To be honest I was still kind of hesitant but found a specture 9932 for 150 bucks at Auto Anything so I went again and installed it over the weekend. Here we go again I was heading home from my basketball game on Sunday when I pulled up to a light and what pulls up next to me about another bmw. Sorry so long of a post but in short I tried to get to the right hand lane cause I was going to turn right but the dude gunned it, I heard his engine rev up. So I gunned it to and left him eating my dust....LOL I guess what I am trying to say in this very long post..sorry all I just wanted to share how much a performance exhaust and cold air intake really helps!!! So anyone on the fence about doing this, it is a good investment and also if you don't gun it a lot I noticed that it helps saves you gas. How much gas you ask!?!?! Well I play in 3 b-ball leagues on Sundays and I normally fill up my tank in the morning. By the end of the day I go 40 miles and my tank is a little over three fourths full. This Sunday and today I have gone 65 miles and I am almost off the full tick mark. I dunno if every one will get the same but this is what I am getting for now.
