MUCH cleaner look. i can't believe how ugly the 09+ Rams are with that rubber intake hose sticking up like that!

How does it sound?

Now you can stick another battery in there if you want;-)

Well it's got a deeper louder tone when you bury your foot in the fuel and it's a bit quicker off a start. But here's the best part



























It was FREE!!!!

Install took 10 min. Easy as pie. As far as it being free, let's just say I know the guy whose truck that was used to prototype test them. And I got the last prototype before production.

right on bro! looks good...after you put some miles on it, let us know if you feel a difference in performance. Do you have an exhaust set up, if so are you running the crimped/smashed stock y-pipe or did you add a true flow? Just curious sry for all the ?'s...

The only problem that I see w/ this set up is the completely exposed filter crankcase breather I believe? Forgetting and driving through a deep puddle at a decent speed, could get it all wet and saturate it. Possibly? When I hit the back roads and just putting around I get mud EVERYWHERE and I'm only doing 15mph at times. Just a thought, I may be completely wrong

I have the standard SLT hood. I will prolly move that breather filter under the engine cover. But I'm stoked I got it for FREE!!!!!


But anywhoo my truck will be in the drag for diabetes show in Houston texas tomorrow. So be on the lookout for pix!!!

I already tell a difference in performance. It has more down low grunt to it.

Awesome man, post pics of your times!! I'd be stoked if I got it for free too... and I think that'd be a good idea to move it under the engine cover or atleast extend the hose to a more protected area!
