Subject: Out with the Old, In With the NEW!

Message:
I just traded in my 97, Ext Cab, V6 4X4 Dak with 91k miles for 7500, got my Employee discount, and my 2000 cash back, and TA'DA! A brand new 02 4X2 4.7 Dak was born for just under $11,600, and I have never been happier. Fast as hell, but now I need advice. I'm looking for a good exhaust system, and headers for it. I need part numbers and manufacturers. Any suggestions?

truckperformance.com. They have performace combos. You pick the products that will make up the combo. Looks like a pretty good deal.

get the dak breathing better first...a nice
intake, z-tube if you can afford it, but the
360airintakez are nice ; )
(www.360airintakez.com)

krc performance offers ceramic or stainless
JBA headers for the 4.7, but I have heard from
previous posts that the stock headers are very
efficient, and you wouldnt notice much gain in
HP. (www.krcperformance.com)

using a free flow catalytic converter should
increase performance, along with a good free
flowing exhaust, dynomax, magnaflow, etc. I
chose to go with a 3" catback system, cost
less than $200 from the local exhaust shop.

port and polish your TB, use the search box
for plenty of posts on this subject, and some
great tips and tricks.

plenty more tips and tricks available at
www.speedtweaks.net (in the tips and tricks
section)

High Output cams and intake manifold are
available from your local jeep/chrysler/dodge
dealer, they are for the Jeep Grand Cherokee
4.7 HO motor, but people have tested the
cams and reported a 20ft/tq increase accross
the entire RPM range, and up to 15HP
increase, never dropping below 5HP

two more things:
DONT BUY A TB SPACER...GOOD FOR A
CUP HOLDER ONLY.

DONT BUY A JET CHIP...GOOD FOR A
PAPER WEIGHT ONLY.

congrats on the new wheels.
