So I’ve only driven a dozen or so back road miles with it. I wanna say it feels a bit stronger at full acceleration, but not enough to warrant the cost. It’s definitely different though, a little peppier off the line and 1st to 2nd shift is a little harder when the truck is cold. After it warms up, every shift is super smooth.
should be putting a bunch of highway miles on it in the coming days will update again later in the week.

I was told the truck from MN had a breakdown on the Interstate .. so here's to another week of waiting for me

Yeah I thought that was kinda funny to when I posted my images last week .. they say they will still honor any warranty even if we are driving "on-road". Did you look to see if yours had a crack at all prior to installing? I posted photos of where mine was - but it was a bit obvious, of course:

maybe a little more aggressive, but it’s not enough of a difference to be sure of it, or anything really. I’m really curious how it affects mpg though. I’ll be putting a 180 highway miles on it on thursday. Will let you all know.
i tow fairly regularly and am wondering if I’ll see a difference there.
honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from it. Mostly I was just curious.
Thanks! I want one just because it looks cool, but that's a tough sell to my wife!

i wasn’t looking for damage, but did give it a good eye f*cking before, during, and after the install. Looked good to me.
I was a little concerned about where the cowl/cover connects to the inlet... saw some pics from other installs and noticed some rough looking gaps. Mine fit good and snug though; I spent some time fiddling to get it all fitting just right.
How long did it take you to get it installed?

45 minutes or so. Woulda been 30 minutes if i had lowered the truck before disconnecting the battery. Hard to reach all the way to back on this big things
How long did it take from the time you ordered it to the time it was delivered? Just curious how quickly BAM operates. Thanks!
So I picked it up last night and installed it after work today. Besides looking awesome in the engine bay it seems to be a little livelier, don’t really notice any real sound difference but that could be due to the ATAK exhaust drowning out any subtle change. I could care less about any mpg gains but if there is any that’s a bonus.

I must say that, based on the current reviews of those that have bit the bullet and installed this intake, it certainly doesn't sound like this mod is worth the dollars. Sure...it LOOKS AWESOME but it doesn't sound like it really does much. I'm still waiting for a BEFORE vs. AFTER dyno to get some real data we can all chew over.
If after someone finally posts dyno results and it shows minimal gains which I believe they will be minimal, I’m okay with it just looking awesome(cuz it does)!

My replacement came today as well. We opened it to make sure the item was damaged again.
Did notice the updated part number (aka "AB").
Snowing here and cold and I didn't have room at work to install it, so I'll have to wait a bit.
Looks like if we ever update our hoods, we can get "RAM'd" from that instead of (or in addition to) the grill.

Just received an email from BAM. It shipped out this AM.

^^^. That is good news, glad to see a company honoring a price written on their website.

It took 7 days which wasn’t bad.
