Couldnt wait to hear from you guys. I went with my gut and bought it. Seems to be a good price, especially with free shipping! I called them to verify the part and they guaranteed me it was 77-1533KP!

I wouldn't have waited to hear back from us either. That is a steal! I have the exact same one and paid $289 for it. Flows real well, the only negative about it is you'll REALLY hear your EGR valve flutter through that pretty chromed tube. That tube is like a megaphone it really echoes that EGR valve opening and closing. You'll think you've got an exhaust leak it's so loud. After a short time you'll get used to it, but people riding withme for the first time always ask if I have an exhaust leak. That's why that stock plastic manifold cover is so huge, it is a baffle for the EGR valve.
If I had to get one over again, I'dget the K&N with the black plastic tube. But for what you paid, I'd live with the echo!!!

I currently am bidding on the same K&N on EBay. Wish I knew about the EGR Valve excessive noise, but at the price I am currently at I will live with whatever noise it produces.

BTW....I just purchased a 2008 RAM 1500 Quad Hemi.

Well I was hoping it wouldnt be any louder that my previous AEM I had on my 2005 ram. My wife wont be happy if it is!

We shall see when I get it! Well if anyone has the 63-1577 plastic kit that is in great shape, a volant, or aem I would trade! HAHA. I prefer the quietest possible so the wife doesnt complain!
