the pulleys were the best in my opinon but i have yet to do the exaust
The k+n filter test i did was to open the airfilter assembly remove the filter and start the truck then put the paper filter in place listen to the rpm s drop and come back then do same with k+n had no drop in rpm s tried it again with paper filter same drop now im convinced imagine the increase at high way speed
