- 5.7 Hemi
Hi all! New to the Ram family, upgraded from a '13 F-150 to a '19 Ram 1500 Classic (Gen 4.5ish?) Crew with the 76.3" bed on it, 4wd, 5.7L Hemi, 8-speed, and factory blackout package.
I'm looking for some simple (fairly cheap, $300-ish range) bolt-on performance mods.
Plans are eventually to do an upgraded intake and exhaust to let the Hemi breath, and then eventually a tune of some type. Truck is my dd and will be towing a travel trailer with it every few weekends.
Looking around the forums I've found a few different options that intrigue me for both intake and exhaust:
Any reasons to get one over the other, benefits of any of them over others?
Intake:
Vararam Air Grabber
K&N Blackhawk
S&B CAI
Exhaust:
(looking for something mild to moderate due to towing long trips with the travel trailer, preferably a bolt in muffler, keep the stock pipes/resonators)
Mufflex 18" or 24"
Borla ProXS
Flowmaster FlowFX
Tuner:
SuperChips Pulsar
Due to cash strap of buying a new truck, I'd be looking at only doing one of the three at this time, would any of them stand out as a better value for the $ to get started? Any other brands/products that I should be looking at for a good value? Won't be racing the truck, just looking for a little more power and hopefully some MPG improvement.
Thanks for any help guys and gals!
