Some people have put pacesetter longtubes on and love them, they are supposed to give around 25-30 HP. Others have put in shorties which do help but are a waste of money b/c they only produce 10-15 HP while you could go with longtubes and gain twice as much.

The longtubes have caused clearence issues while installing them, but most people we able to get them eventually put on. The passenger side is the one that is tricky BTW.

I would love to get a set but the install is a PITA and would also cost a fortune to get them installed, which would probably be the route I would have to go.

where's the clearance problem? just slidin the damn things in? i was lookin at a friend's 2007 regular cab wit the v6, and he's got plenty of room for some shorties, but he just wants to make it faster.

The longtubes are hard to install b/c of the firewall but the shorties are much easier.
