throttle response is all you will notice if that's all you do to your truck. If you add an exhaust to that and a programmer your going to notice a lot bigger difference.

You didn't specify model and engine, but for the most part they don't do much. Google "Gotts mod" for a cheap and effective DIY intake mod.

Save your money and do what boilerup15 suggests.
