Mopar Cat back + Ram Airflow

[RAMSPORT2021]

Anyone else experiencing drone with the Mopar Catback around 1700rpm? I thought this was the no-drone solution.

Other than the drone, how do you like this setup and the sound? I’ve been thinking about adding this and was wondering how much louder it’s is over the stock setup. I’m not looking to go much louder than stock, just looking for better tone really.

I have a Borla Type-S (IIRC Borla makes the MOPAR RAM catback) and there is a very mild drone around that RPM in my truck (I don't even notice it now unless I'm trying to listen for it), though compared to a regular universal muffler swap it's night and day. Some people have had success with putting in the Borla resonator if it does bother you.

It is quite a bit louder than stock. If volume is a concern I recommend you track someone down to listen in person before buying, recorded audio doesn't do the sound justice.

I’ve deceived to stop listening for that very subtle drone at 1700rpm and have been really appreciating this setup. I’m not even sure that what I was hearing can be classified as drone. It’s loud af when you honk on it, and cold start is definitely noticeable, but I would 100% do this again.

Thanks for the feedback!!

Drone is the worst! I buy Corsa becuase I absolutely don't want a vehicle with drone ever again.

I’m very interested in your thoughts about the ram air? I‘ve been itching to pull the trigger but I do not want to waste a grand. Some say it’s no value… I question that based on Ram putting it on the GT. They wouldn’t do that for nothing. Thoughts?

They could be doing it for the looks and charging you for it?
Last time I looked the package was $3500 which is pretty expensive for an exhaust, cold air intake, paddle shifters, and a regular shifter that comes standard in pretty much any other car\truck.

This is really the age old question "is a cai really worth it"
It might give you a little more HP that may or may not be noticeable.
You can also find the intake for around $750 here on the forums.

People also claim to sometimes hear different attractive sounds with different cold air intakes, keep in mind that if you let your truck go to 4 cylinder mode the sound will be different on the exhaust and COULD be different on the air intake (if you claim you can hear it).

I spend a bunch of money on my trucks for mods and cold air intakes really depend on the car\truck. I don't know if I can realistically expect any meaning full gains on a ram 1500 with a cold air intake Ram Air and most certainly not $1000 worth compared to other mods you can do for the same price.

I have a Mopar Catback. There’s been a couple of times something was playing on the radio and something goofy happened to the sound (bass). Like the exhaust is in sync with a certain frequency in the music and amplifies that frequency . Like mentioned, it only happened a couple of times. Next time I’ll try to remember the song and see if I can reproduce it.

Potentially triggered the ANC?

Hey thanks. I suspect that’s it!

Hey you forgot about the G/T stickers!

Oh you're right.
That's an extra 50 HP for each sticker.

I wondered why my GT felt so much quicker than my BigHorn

Got my Airflow install scheduled for 5/11….
Now if I ever got an itch would a Procharger still fit?

I don't see how you could keep the RamAir intake if you add a Procharger. SC sends air to the intake after the air filter, you don't really want to force compressed air through a paper filter

Thanks guys. Seems that the Airflow is actually a big money saver then….

So I had my “Secret Shaker” installed this morning. It does enhance/compliment the Mopar Catback exhaust sound in my opinion.
There’s a lower/deeper rumble/roar when you have both the Mopar exhaust and intake. Bit louder too probably, loving it so far.
