it looks nice :smileup:
Not knocking your purchase but I would have saved up for something worth wild . These things are very thin in Aluminum that will get super hot in the summer and cause you to loose power .
Sometimes a little shine is not worth the price my friend . Nice truck though!

I know a lot of the appeal for this is the "shine," but would it help wrapping this thing in heat tape to help shield the pipe from the heat of the engine? Just a thought....

Looks nice. Sweet head lights too. I want a "CAI" for the looks, but stock seems like a much better set-up (aside from the stock paper filter) than the open cone kits. It don l00k purdy, but it's definitely more of a CAI than the aftermarket stuff. I like the heat shielding idea. Where did you get those honeycomb grille inserts if you don't mind me asking?

yea it is thin but i thought why not right. and evrey thing gets hot in the sumer around arkansas lol so i get what your saying. ill prolly change it later cuz im just getting started on my ram so alot of stuff will prolly change before im done. and about that grill its stock on my truck haven't changed it. i got the head lights from a guy that was selling his 09 ram i traded my stock head lights tail lights and third brake light for his custom ones. he took the head lights apart and painted the inside.

It looks like the cone is sitting right where the opening from the fender is. Not bad for $73. good job!

yep that is where it is. i have grabed the filter after i stoped somewhere and its been cold so its in a good spot. the only thing i found i dont like about it is i feel like i lost some low end tq. i had a bad traction prob before and now i can stall it way up and it dont spin hardly any. so idk but it still pulls strong above 3500 and all the way through the 1/4 so idk its proll just me! cuz their is no reason it should't have helped low end and big end both so idk. they need to get us a way to tune our trucks!!!
