Modifications for '04 4.7L Dakota - 10/6/2004 12:03:53 AM    Krogers1977   Posts: 2 Joined: 10/5/2004 Status: offline I just bought one and I am looking to add a few mods. I ordered a hood and intake system already. I'm now looking at the next step. I heard HO cams and intake manifold, IAT sensor mod, true dual exhuast or catback(2.5 inch??) are the next logical step...is this correct? BTW I can't seem to find intake manifolds...suggestions? Also any performance websites would be helpful. Thanks! Post #: 1

I do not like how the dakota's come with the raked stance, I will get it done this weekend. This morning I will be dropping off my truck at Line-X to get the bed sparyed. Can't wait !!!! Then, I am going to save up for dyno max super turbo muffler. The reason for my choice is I don't want it much louder than the stock exhaust. Good luck on your purchases and keep us updated.

Plus, I dont know many techs that would look at oil and know it is mobil 1 vs. regular oil (no offense to anyone who can....)other than that, read the small novel in tiny writing they gave you....should be done about the time, oh say.....your warranty is up... _____________________________ 2004 Dakota Sport Plus V8 4X4 Clear Corners, Extang Full-tilt Snapless cover Flowmaster DeltaFlow 40 Series 409S Ram Painted center caps De-Badged, Line-X Liner Mobil-1 since 1000 miles Royal Purple Drivetrain Synthetics (in reply to tanker) Post #: 6

If you want to stick to the Mopar brand and keep that factory appearance, goto http://www.mopar.com They have lots of performance parts and accessories for Dakota/Durango/Ram, and lot of their cars also. The good thing is that you keep the Mopar name under the hood. They do have a NICE high performance intake manifold from Mopar. I think it is the M1 intake manifold. They also carry their Mopar Cold air Intake, Exhaust kits such as headers, pipes, mufflers also. (in reply to Krogers1977) Post #: 8
