 Subject: What to do to liven up the 5.9
IP: Logged
Message:
I got a 2002 Dodge ram and with the 5.9 it feels a little sluggish.
What would a gibson cat back, Gibson Headers, and a K&N intake do for me.
Would I feel the diffrence, make the truck feel more responcive and anti sluggish.
Thanks.
Oh and if you have any other suggestions like a chip or a trick im open to them.
Thanks again.

the headers will not do much untill you open the intake side, and the muffler will just make it louder (that was my experience with them anyway).
i would get the K&N FIPK system, and either the 1.7 roller rockers, or the 2bbl M-1 manifold. the rockers will give you more power throughout the entire rpm band, and the M-1 will really wake it up at about 3k on up (the 1.7's will pull hard too). if you decide on the manifold, i would look into getting a 52mm throttle body, because the stock one will restrict the limits of the manifold.
a little info on chips... THEY DONT WORK!! the ONLY option for your 2002 that WILL work (and in a big way) is a custom flash from B&G chrystler. it is about $500-600 and you have to send them your pcm for about a week, but it is worth every penny.

Injection is nice, but i'd rather be blown.
