    Borla Atak vs S-Type vs Touring - Show of Hands!

    Yeah I have a 5 year old as well and he sleeps in most trips we take. It's quiet when I let it be and loud when I drive hard. Cruising at highway you can't really notice it. Only when stepping on it or driving hard from a stop does it really get loud. But when it does, it's loud lol. My mpg is...

    Borla s type vs arak for drone?

    Where are you located? I'd switch my S for an Atak. lol. I like the aggressive notes my S type makes, so it makes me wish i'd gone Atak from the start.

    Borla s type vs arak for drone?

    I have the S type and do not have drone. However, I could see where there may be drone if you have 3.92 gears or 3.21 gears and travel in 7th gear lot at highway. My exhaust is loudest around 2000rpm or so. If i'm cruising at 70mph in 8th then there is no drone. If i'm cruising at 75mph in 7th...

    Borla Atak vs S-Type vs Touring - Show of Hands!

    I have the S type. Debated between the Atak and S type for a while, and ultimately from reading reviews it seemed they were both close in loudness, but the S type was deeper and not as crackly or popping like the Atak. With it installed though, my exhaust is very loud and does get very deep at...

    Terrible MPG - 2022 RAM 1500 4WD Crew Cab Short Box 5.7

    Being from Louisiana my whole life it never occurred to me there was a "winter" gas. lol. With that said I'm sure my mpg would be about the same, but down here i'm still doing fine with 3.21 gears, 2.5" level, and 295/65r20 tires. Highway commute I'm currently at 17mpg. City will get down to 15...

    Actual mpgs

    Do you drive pretty hard? Since first getting bigger tires and having my speedometer calibrated i've gone down some. Started driving a little harder like I did before the larger tires. Now I float around 17mpg on work commute and weekends it'll dip down to around 15 or so. I find that remote...

    35X12.5R18 With 2 inch level

    I don't have a rebel but my experience may still help you. I have a Bighorn "Lonestar" with night edition 20" wheels. +19 offset I believe on these factory wheels. I started off with pretty heavy rake on my truck, 39" ground to rear fender and 36.25" ground to front fender. I installed a 2.5"...

    eTorque Regenerative Braking

    Yeah you're hearing the transfer case/front differential. Directly under your cab, easier to hear. I've heard it on previous vehicles with 4 Auto type modes or when in 4hi/4lo.

    5.7l vs 6.4l. RAM 1500 vs Grand Wagoneer.

    I've had a 2016 silverado with a 5.3. Felt like a dog stock, and became unbearable once I put 33" tires on it. The 5.7 in the Ram is nice, but I too wish we could get a 6.4 option. At the same time, the 5.7 must be really held back to only produce 395HP. Feels like it could be uptuned a bit...

    eTorque Regenerative Braking

    Yeah that's how I would describe mine too. I can feel the added braking when coming to a stop, as if i'm braking hard. I have a 2021 so it may be slightly different, but I never could hear a drone from the middle to rear of the truck. Do you have your truck in 4 Auto or something else? I also...

    Harsh e-torque starts

    What are you considering harsh? With mine, if I don't have my foot firmly on the break it will sort of lurch me forward a little. Have to keep some distance when stopped behind another vehicle at the light. I tend to hold my foot firm down though to ensure it does auto stop/start. Also, I have...

    295/60r20 -18offset on level? - update: it fits

    It's pretty level, with about a quarter to half inch lower in the front. Measuring before from ground to middle of fenders, 39" in back, 36.25" in front. Measuring after; 40.75 in the rear, 40.25" in the front. Stock tires were 31" mounted, new tires are 34.75" mounted. I've read so many...

    295/60r20 -18offset on level? - update: it fits

    I have 295/65r20 on stock wheels. +19 I believe. I clear fine on a motofab 2.5 inch level. Tires measure out to 34.75" tall and height really isn't an issue. Width wise they clear the front and back of the wheel wells when turning to full lock, either direction. I did have some rubbing full...

    Borla s type resonator add on

    You had a stock resonator there originally? My truck did not have a resonator here, and my Borla S type is very loud. How did the sound change when switching to the borla resonator?

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    My stock tires measured out to 31" tall, new tires are 34.75" tall on the truck. Stock tires are not 32.1" while mounted. And I've had 35x12.5 tires measure out to around 34 or little more, but my tires now measure out to 34.75". At 55mph on the speedometer I was actually traveling 61. It isn't...

    Steering Wheel Vibration - Normal with 33" A/T Tires?

    What is your tire pressure at? With AT tires you'll feel a little more tire bumpiness through the steering wheel, but if it's at speed then it may be a wheel balancing issue. Also, how much clearance do you have between your tires and your upper control arm? I have stock 20 inch wheels and...

    2021 1500 5.7 etorque

    No noise from my etorque. I have a borla s type now and mds sounds different but still quiet. Is it constant between those speeds regardless of rpm? If it were etorque motor winding issues I'd suspect to hear it vary with rpm. If it's constant between just tire speed then it may be suspension...

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    I have 3.21 gears and just put on 295/65r20 Yokohama Geloandar MT's. Wanted 3.92 gears but couldn't find the truck I wanted with it. Went back and forth for months trying to decide on tire size, but ultimately I am impressed with how little the tires have affected things. I have the Bighorn...

    Actual mpgs

    2021 5.7 with eTorque, 3.21 gears. Currently have 35" mud tires and I now see 20mpg at 60mph and 18mpg at 75mph. Flat area, no hills. I average 17 with mixed driving. With stock tires and no level I would average in the 19s during weekdays from work commute with semi tame driving. Mostly...

    MDS: Any Happy Stories About Great MPGs With It?

    I have 3.21 gears with etorque. With stock wheels my truck would slip into eco pretty often. I drive highway everyday to work and it would usually stay in eco while in 8th gear around 70mph. Hell I've even had it slip into eco once when I was driving around 90mph. I was slowing down though. Now...
