Does this system add HP or torque to the truck or is it just sound? i also bought a air intake system im looking to improve gas mliage

I have been installing air intake systems and exhaust systems to all of my vehicles for 20 plus years. The combination of the two does increase hp and torque as well as fuel mileage. The fuel mileage can only be realized if you keep your got out of the new hp. Lol. Yes this system does add hp. Simple to install s well. I hope this helps.

As far as I've experienced it was just sound. But a really good sound. If you want to add power you probably want to look into getting a tuner as well.

I'm not sure but if you go to Boesch's web site I believe it addresses that. I know this may sound a bit odd but I have been putting ZMax in when I change the oil and it has added about 1 MGP. I got a bottle for free and was not a big believer in that type of additive but the stuff actually worked.

Get it with the muffler. Too me it just sounds like an old caterpillar tractor. Utter crap. Also I wake up early and my neighbors would not stop complaining(and normally they dont care about much.) I bought the muffler that fits this. Its a bit louder than stock but actually sounds good. Nice good deep rumble. and it still has the same throttle response I noticed with the straight pipe.

It is recommended that you re-jet. I would not recommend this exhaust because it is too loud. It will boost your power and bust your eyedrums. Tech assistance is non-existent. Pay a little more for something better.

Cold air intake and bigger exhaust ! If you put stage 2 injectors you should upgrade head studs to ARP studs (probably a good idea to change studs regardless)

I have installed this air intake and it changed the tone of the engine but no you cant hear it..It looks really good under the hood though!!! You wont go wrong with this intake..

You can make it work but you'd have to jet it and have a full exhaust to make it run right. Youre better off getting a hi flow drop in with a modified airbox lid(remove it)and do the same mods. It'll be more reliable and the performance gain will be the same. Coincidentally, you can't remove the lid without re-jetting your carbs for the extra flow.

I also have a Dodge with the 5.9 Cummins, stage 2 cold air intake with a straight pipe. We must have identical trucks, but mines an 05. All I can say it that I ran the smart on performance which adds 100hp to your 325 making it 425hp, and boy does it make a difference :) (ran it on performance for about a year) . With that being said I just changed my trans last week, lol. Got a complete rebuild all heavy duty parts for 2500$, with the dodge tranny you will probably be doing the same thing. Also, I'm 33 so I didn't do a whole lot of "beating" on the truck. Just your average race hear and there. ;)

K&N; has more of a ram air design. So in theory, it should help you get a little more HP on the top end. But, to be sure you'll have to try and find a dyno chart.

The power for sure it woke that motor right up and is not really loud. Gas mileage wasn't a huge gain maybe a mile or so a gallon I also installed a Gibson metal mulisha exhaust which made the gas milage go up another gallon or so plus the power and the sound is awesome

As far as both questions go I can't give you an exact number on both gas mileage and horsepower. I did feel an increase in power since the intake does make the engine breathe a hell of a lot better. As far as gas mileage goes I did see an improvement but couldn't tell you how much as I didn't pay attention to that after I put it on. AS far as the intake itself. It sounds amazing.

The power increase is good. The sound is okay not really loud. About the same as stock but throaty. Never really noticed a huge difference in fuel mileage. Get 18.5 on the freeway with the intake and exhaust but we have bigger tires installed than stock. Big difference when accelerating while pulling a trailer. Worth the money if you want some more of oomph over stock power.

I know that dyno they used for the hp gain is on a 2009 RAM 1500 5.7 (test sheet comes in package) I got mine for a 2011 RAM 1500 5.7 sport. Ive noticed the trucks response is much quicker not sure about how much hp I gained but I've never heard a intake system taking hp. That shouldn't happen because the setup (for any brand really) allows more air flow to your intake. Then this in return turns into more of a responsive setup. If I had to guess ... You might have a faulty airflow meter which in return isn't telling your truck to adjust to the new setup that my be the reason you fell no hp gain.

Unicorn... When i bought mine i noticed a tiny bit of power increase only on the lvl 4 tune. I think they rate it at 25 hp gain, and 24 ft lb torque. The thing i really liked about it was it had firm shifts all the way through 3rd gear. Definitly going to help if your towing. But if your looking for just hp increase overall i would get a blackbear tune. Wont get number like a diesel but it will definitely help.

I installed this in my 1999 2wd 4door and you definitely feel a difference. It's best paired with an aftermarket exhaust system. Together, you get better throttle response, torque and a small increase in fuel economy. Unfortunately I can't provide numbers other than about 2 mpg better than when my truck was stock. Blazerforum.com has a lot of members that can help give you more accurate numbers if you need. Good luck!

On my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8. I only noticed trying to save gas mileage only got 1-2 MPG improvement. The shifting does great and really smooth. I have a K&N; intake and still no performance difference. Idling was a little smoother. I have not tried the high performance feature. Towing feature does great lots of torque. Hope this is helpful.

There is definitely a noticeable increase in power off the throttle but I really didn't note any significant improvement in gas mileage, but I added a lot of extras to my truck at the same time that increased the weight such as a sports guard and winch and larger tires. I would look at adding the Fitch Fuel Catalyst for better gas mileage. It is a couple of hundred bucks, but worth every penny.

There is more intake air flow. It does give off much loud sound when you step on the gas. You can hear the air rushing into the intake.
