    Magnaflow exhaust

    Oh wow!! I'm not gunna lie I expected way more than that! I'll be honest when it said "moderate noise level", I personally thought it was like, "exhaust shop who puts on straightpipes all day" level "moderate". :ROFLMAO: Just visually? It looked a lot like my Borla XR1 (on the last ram)...

    Tonneau cover for ram boxes

    I have the factory one, and I like it! ETA: My 2016 Rebel, same thing. Ramboxes, factory tonneau cover. I liked that one too.

    Magnaflow exhaust

    Hmm, judging by the looks of it, it'll have some bark, BUT with the factory resonators in place, there might be some taming going on. Without hearing it in real life I'm going to guess it's: - Honestly kind of loud, BUT still a tasteful level - Louder than you expected, but not "too loud" to...

    Falcon - Teraflex Kit out

    Time-wise with work I haven't had time to do any serious wheeling. HOWEVER I can say what dirty/muddy terrain I've seen with it, they were good. Note I had the bilstiens with the remote reservoirs on them - I personally think they were nice shocks. They had one thing in particular they didn't...

    Full exhaust system vs Muffler swap.

    I have the magnaflow full system on my Ram - I had a Borla XR1 (on an otherwise stock setup) on my last gen Rebel. If you have neighbors you like or a wife you don't want to upset? Magnaflow's good! The full system has their big 22in muffler unit on it, it's a "mellow thundercloud" experience...

    New intake and exhaust

    Yeahhh with the gas halftons I don't think we'll see anything like what people did with diesels. :LOL: You see some guys neat 3/4ton, ask him what he did to it, "yeah I did XYZ, added probaably, +150hp to the wheels and I got 4mpg too". And I just sit there and simmer. :ROFLMAO: The second you...

    Thinking about getting a Ram for increased towing stability

    That looks great, and it's probably suuuuper comfortable for everyone involved. I'm happy it's worked out 100% as planned! You perfected the Durango's towing needs and got some good experience under your belt - add in the extra "beef" of the 1/2ton? goes together like peanut butter and jelly...

    New intake and exhaust

    I would say I got somewhere between .4 and 1mpg gain, .7 average. Highway trip I'd say around 1ish, close to it. I was gunna run a few road trip tests with it, and then the plague hit. 😕 .4 if it's all city (and hilly, which by me, it is) and I'm mashing the throttle a bit. .7 is a fair average...

    Falcon - Teraflex Kit out

    So, back to the regularly scheduled thread, Here's the truck with I'd say about 900-1200lbs of some heavy *** water saturated logs in the back, notice it is NOW level, the brakes get to operate in their intended plane. The medium setting on the falcon shocks was 100% the right call for me. Nice...

    Falcon - Teraflex Kit out

    There it is. You came here to post something inflammatory. I couldn't agree less, and in terms of what people like about the setup, there's a bunch of posts in the thread. You DID come here to point at other people's setups, that's a **** thing to do, and you're getting backlash from me, because...

    Falcon - Teraflex Kit out

    So I'm one of these trucks in this thread, and I think this post is directed at me, though I could be wrong as I'm not quoted. I'll be honest, just my opinion, this post is a little ****-ish, I think it would actually be fair and warranted if I posted a long, spicy reply. ;) But I won't...

    Falcon - Teraflex Kit out

    Another update - shown here sitting at a good angle! So the shocks feel like they've settled in. In terms of "stiffness", the difference from stock is less noticeable now. I think it's combination of me getting used to it, the cornering rigidity is still awesome. Thusfar it's still been great...

    Mopar’s “Ram Airflow” Cold-Air Intake System For Ram 1500:

    Interesting. Honestly I had some interest in looking around to see if I could get an extra filter if I needed one. BUT, I rest a little better knowing that the odds of actually needing one are very, very low - that the lifespan on these things is pretty damn good.

    New shift knob

    I did the install today, for those curious/on the fence, unsure if they can do it? Here's what mine looked like after I got the top cap off. I cleared the glue layer away from the screws. I didn't heat it up or anything, and it was actually pretty cold today. So for me a screwdriver would not...

    Muffler options

    I think the B2Fab setups are bolt in - and I believe they use magnaflow units too Take a look, you might like!

    Muffler options

    The borla sound profile is really nice, it sounds "truck-like" and proper. The Borla touring system wasn't out yet when I got my magnaflow. If I could do it over again, I might end up choosing the same one, but that is a biiig maybe. If I had this truck again, and you told me I COULD NOT have...

    Muffler options

    If you're looking for a bassy sound, but really tame exhaust note? Add the magnaflow system to the list. I came from a Borla XR1 on my old Ram, while I LOVED it? 2am cold starts leaving the ex-girlfriend's place on a frozen street was the V8-symphony. Live, in concert. Starring, the 5.7 Hemi...

    Headlight Adjustment

    Thanks to this thread I was able to tilt the lights down a little bit after the falcon shocks went on. While the shop did adjust them, I was getting a few flashes on the road, so I went ahead and adjusted them down a liiiiiittle more
