I am interested if anyone has installed a Magnaflow exhaust system and a K&N air intake kit. If so what is the impact on performance, mileage, and exhaust note?

Thanks!

at least 3064 of us have:D

Really the magnaflow is cat back of choice, great sound and quality, maybe 10hp increase.

And CAI's have been found more for looks, a drop in gives as much a gain as any others.

So go with your choice on those.

welcome:D
 
Lots of variables in your question. With a full cat delete and Magnaflow you can expect maybe 35 - 40 rwhp gain. With just the muffler and leaving the cats, not much can be expected, other than better sound.

The K&N filter drop in is the way to go for hp. The CAI system has no effect as tested by DC Performance and X-Metal. (In some instances it dropped the rwhp.)

Now about the mileage question...if you are worried about milage, you have the wrong truck. It should not be an issue, much the same about the cost of using Mobil 1 Syn, if you cringe at the cost of a quart of this stuff...you have the wrong truck.

Just my opinion...others will chime in...
