If you like it that's all that matters! I have S&B I don't think that anyone here has ever supported my decision. I think most are in favor of the ram air system. If I had known sooner I probably had done that.

I’d like the ram air intake( look wise) just $1700 is a little pricey right now. But a couple of YouTube vids of it and the people didn’t notice much compared to a boxed cold air intakes.
They sell one that's isn't $1700. Its and aftermarket that around $400, Link to below
$412 aftermarket intake

I saw that one, but the mopar looks more cleaner and factory. We’ll see I’m liking the 26 limited which I saw at my dealership waiting for an alignment. Or here me out wait for a crazy deal on a TRX… lolCheaper from Moe's Performance

I mean, if you just want factory, then don't change it out. I can verify, sitting side by side at a car show, my Vararam got far more attention than the Mopar RamAir.

yeah it's a crapshoot lol too many scams, too many junk products, too many sellers not knowing a thing about the stuff they're selling.
but in a pinch overnight shipment is clutch.
If had known I would've done the varam. The price difference is not a factor if you are looking at the S&B intake. I had NTS (new truck syndrome) which mean my brain was overload with all new truck info and was making it difficult to focus one issue. Not new but new to me
I was researching parts before I even bought my truck.. knowing what I was going to get. Had the Borla ATAK ordered before so went to dealer to pick up the truck. Day after bringing it home the exhaust went on.If had known I would've done the varam. The price difference is not a factor if you are looking at the S&B intake.

I spent a month searching 12 hours a day looking for the right truck. I wanted a 3 inch exhaust system so I was limited at the time. I do wish I would have spent more time on the forums learning but Im still very happy. I kind of got turned off here when I post my message in new member section and got no replies. Now I try to welcome people in the new section so they know we are here.
Yeah, I never worried about the whole new member section. I don't really get the point. Like you said, most ignore it. If you are new and have questions, dona quick search, and then either reply to an existing thread, that is about your question, or just ask it in the correct forum.I spent a month searching 12 hours a day looking for the right truck.

Driver door speaker developed some kind of distortion in the last few weeks and got progressively worse over time. Took it to Ram since the truck is new but they wanted to keep it for 2 days to diagnose and order the part. I aint got time for that. Ordered the part from another dealer that has the best prices on parts (so far) and replaced the driver door speaker today
Old speaker
New speaker installed
I couldn't find any obvious tears or damage to the old speaker but the distortion/blown speaker sound is definitely gone
S was driving me crazy and yes its under warranty but the speaker was $45 and that $45 was worth less to me than the truck being in the shop for 2 days for something like this

I get you. Time is money.
But hmmm?
Those don’t look like Klipsch speakers?
Where’s the copper woofer?
The radix horn??
Almost like it’s all just a licensing play and Harman has the entire industry wrapped around its finger.
But it sounds damn good nonetheless.

OEM klipsch is likely different, the infiniti QX80 uses a similar system and the speakers look the same. I'd guess the copper color is only for the home speaker where you actually see the cone. I'm sure it licensing too but it does sound better than the HK; ironically, the HK speakers are more expensive, I wonder if they have an amp built into the speaker but yeah, I was expecting something different when I took the door panel off and I was expecting a more expensive speaker.
I'm just glad it was a simple fix, I've read others having the same issues with the Tungsten, RHO and Limited trims and replacing the speaker didn't fix it. Same with some trucks with the Alpine system but with the Tungsten and the Limited, it seems to always be the driver door lower speaker. Some RHO's are having an issue with all the speakers completely dropping out then coming back on

Love the BedRug in my ‘19 Limited…..hoped to get a new one for the ‘26 Tungsten I have on order, but seems not to be available for models with Rambox beds. Where did you purchase yours? I even called RealTruck and chatted on the website and they say not available.
He's using the one listed for 4rh gens. I'm using a 4rh gen one for regular bad in my 5th gen because I got it cheap locally. Little trimming and it fit pretty well.Love the BedRug in my ‘19 Limited…..hoped to get a new one for the ‘26 Tungsten I have on order, but seems not to be available for models with Rambox beds.

I bought the one for the 4th gen, fits perfectly. Listing states that it doesn't fit ramboxes but that's a mistake. Make sure you get BRT09BXKLove the BedRug in my ‘19 Limited…..hoped to get a new one for the ‘26 Tungsten I have on order, but seems not to be available for models with Rambox beds.

Also, the above bedrug now has the cut outs for the tie downs and the bed lights so you no longer need to cut out the holes. The only trimming I needed to do was at the top front corner to get it to tuck under the BUG rail
