Re: '02 power

What is you budget?

YOu can do the typical stuff: Intake, exhaust, retune the chip. each will cost about $200-400.

Did it make the truck louder?

Re: '02 power

Curious about teh shorty's too. I've got two studs cracked off (one on each manifold end, of course), and I was gonna pop a set of shorty headers on when i got to doin the job. Are they really no good? At least better than stock manifolds though right?

Re: '02 power

actually, it did make the truck a little more rev happy. i had to remove the steering column to remove the old manifold. has a little leak at the bottom now, but i'm too lazy to fix it. i got the Edelbrock "ti-tech" coating that "would not rust" HA! five months and they are already rusting. go with stainless steel if you have to get some. mine were $275. i was hoping for more sound, but as long as i have the 2 cat converters, not much louder. they were supposed to deliver "seat-of-the-pants performance over stock manifolds," but i was dissapointed.
