Performance Upgrades - 4" inch Exhaust System/Performance Filter Kit

[Jochen Woern]

Some questions for all of you enthusiasts out there:

- I have an aFe Stage 2 Performance Filter Kit coming.
- I am planning to upgrade the exhaust with the Jaradine 4" inch System
(I decided to go with the Jaradine due to all of your positive input as well as the price - since I know all to well that I have to ask "the one who controls it all" also).

Other than that, my truck is STOCK.

- With the upgrade to a 4" inch Exhaust System and the Performance Air Filter, will I be able to notice a difference in horsepower/acelleration?
- Will I be able to notice more torque when pulling my 9,000 lbs. Travel Trailer?

Thanks in advance,
Jochen Woern

I obtained my 4" exhaust from JC Whitney and I replaced the stock air filter with a K&N and saw a HUGE improvement in power, I believe mostly from loosing the cat converter... It will be enough to motivate you to do more ;) best advice is to sit here and do some reading there is wealth of knowledge and experience that I have been able to tap and utilized on my 1999 rig. Its up to you where yo want to go with your rig... Good luck!
