03 Ram 1500/FIPK, exhaust upgrades

From : yaegermeister

Q: hello all i was curious if anyone has put the fipk kit on their 03 dodge ram 1500 does it help with fuel mileage/horsepower etc. i was also curious if putting a new exhaust system on the truck would give me a horsepower increase as well. any insight anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. yaegermeister -- using m2 operas revolutionary e-mail client http//www.opera.com/m2/ .

my bad. i should know better and included all the necessary info. ram 1500 quad cab 4.7 liter v8 5-speed do they make the kenne-bell supercharger for the 4.7 liter john on tue 09 sep 2003 020240 gmt richardson brian brian@richardson.net wrote dont know what you have so... from what ive heard my 5.7 does not gain much if anything from intake/exhaust mods but i used to have a 5.9 with fipk and headers/exhaust which gives a decent performance increase on that engine. dont know about the smaller engines. im waiting on the kenne-bell supercharger to be released for my 5.7. in my experience thats the only bolt-on item that really gives you a good dollar-to-horsepower return. what do the marketing ads say if you like more sound go for it. its a competitive world if something was really beneficial mileage wise why wouldnt the manufacturers be using it already i was curious if anyone has put the fipk kit on their 03 dodge ram 1500 does it help with fuel mileage/horsepower etc. i was also curious if putting a new exhaust system on the truck would give me a horsepower chaos confusion and trouble!!!! my work here is almost done -- using m2 operas revolutionary e-mail client http//www.opera.com/m2/ .
