Just Purchased A New '07 Titan SE

[DRKSDE]

Greetings,

I picked up my Titan last Tuesday. Traded a '05 Ranger Edge and man what a difference! Titan is huge! I've never owned/driven anything so big so it's going to take some getting used to. I did hours of research before I decided on the Titan ruling out the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado & Dodge Ram. The new Tundra was impressive but getting one with the 5.7 engine under $30,000 in a Double Cab is virtually impossible.

I love everything about the Titan except the radio; my Ranger had a better stock system. Gas mileage sucks but I expected that & the Ranger was only marginally better.

I am planning on a few mods so I'll post some questions in the appropriate forum.

Congrats on the new truck. Hope it serves you well! What mods do you have in mind first?

[DRKSDE]

The usual: Exhaust & CAI.

Leaning towards the Flowmaster 50 series but not sure abt the CAI. I was reading the info on the CAI kits and the HP claims of 17+ gains seem inflated. Any actual dyno #'s?

Thanks.

Yeah that's abt what I figured for both mods; a true 10-13 RWHP. I've done a lot of dyno runs on Mustangs and rarely do you see significant gains on stock motors with just exhaust & CAI. The good times will roll but it will be expensive with gas prices on the rise.

Welcome, I also traded my 01 ranger, v6 4L. This thing is a beast, but fun to drive. Luckly I have disable plates, gives me plenty of parking space
My Ranger only got 12mpg, I'm way happy with my 15 city and 18-19 hwy
