Default Headers only...to start

Well, I just pulled the trigger on the headers & Tuner package. Plan on installing a Rustys Cherry Bomb at the same time.

Will let you all know how it goes

Waiting to hear your review, I'd like to know how this will be thru the summer heat in AZ. Are you doing the install yourself??

To RIPP: It's not a big issue (especially owning a jeep) but was just curious what kind of MPG the SC gets. Running 35" tires on 2.5" lift. I know the 5.7 hemi get about 8-9. Again not really stressed on it I was just wondering

Its going to be about the same. Only reason it will go down is because of the way you drive it.

At worst case your mileage stays right where it is now, but you have more power. At best case you gain 1-4mpg... everyone's experience is a little different when it pertains to fuel mileage...

However the consistent is the power

I wouldn't say it beats the hemi, but based on the results it's definitly better bang for the buck!

Who's buck is he spending???, not mine


Wait let me get this correct

Hemi - 214 hp 251 Torq $25,000+ installed

RIPP - 223 hp 227 Torq $6000-$7000 installed

by my numbers RIPP is the only way to go??
