G'day and welcome. That's a hornet's nest, heaps of people say it does and heaps of people say it doesn't. Do a search and you'll see what I mean
. I will say that they look good, from where I'm sitting (on the fence).

I will say...it depends.Now then on my 94 4.0 it made a huge difference but I also ditched the stock,restrictive muffler.And a bunch here say I'm full of it even though I'm the one who drives it....and I was a GM tech for years,details,details.
On my 2000 it sounds like someone has already done some exhaust work but many on here say the exhaust manifolds on the 5.0 are the problem.
I say if you can afford it,try it and let us know.Intake first then a different muffler.At least it will sound good.I am going that route this summer when cash flow is better.

Thanks..I will see how it runs when I get it and test the gas mileage and then compare it when I get one...I will keep you posted. They are pretty expensive so I will have to save as well

Welcome to this forum! Do a search for dyno results on a cold air intake.

They say the 5.0 manifolds are very restrictive,I don't know for sure as my 5.0 runs like crazy and is in dire need of a tuneup.It's going to be interesting to see what it runs like with new plugs and wires.
As a side note I checked my mileage today and it is about 14.4 mpg,but....my plugs are hammered,half of the electrode is worn off,it's 7 F outside and I'm willing to bet it has original wires.And I drive it like I stole it.
Brooklyn I did a search and came up empty.Which surprises me to tell the truth.
