Does anyone know of any CARB legal headers on the market for 2013 Ram 1500, 5.7. And cold air systems

 

K&N has a CARB legal intake for the Ram. I'm sure theres more too. As far as headers, ive heard that there are some shorty style legal headers. Long tubes aren't legal however..

 

Welcome to DF. Moving you to the correct section.

Are you planning on any head, camshaft mods...? If not, headers and CAI is really wasting your time and money. The stock air box is actually superior to MOST aftermarket CAI`s. You can check out all the info within this forum, alot of guys have pulled the aftermarket CAI back off and put the stock air box`s back in. Most usually see their MPG`s go backwards with aftermarket CAI`s.

 

"Long tubes aren't legal however.."
Thats reason enough NOT to live in libturd california.

 

my truck had a k&n on it when i bought it . it's great on gas and k&n says 17hp on the dyno. (i'm not saying k&n is the best but it works)

 

It would be nice to believe a K&N CAI "could" contribute 17 extra ponies. Unfortunately, those statements are very misleading, as are most aftermarket performance modifications.

K&N gains, if any, are typically rated at the top of your power range. Realistically suggesting that you would need to run full throttle at 5-6 grand on your tack, which usually isn't ideal or realistic for an almost 6k lb. truck, especially suggesting a stock intake manifold is only rated witH a max CFM rating.

I've got nothing against CAI systems, I had a K&N 63 Series on my '09 Ram Sport, but I certainly know it had absolutely no improvement with mpg's, or performance gains. I just wanted a few more decibels o2 of the engine compartment, lol.

 

it's right on their site, done on a dyno

 

best bang for buck would be a programmer. just my 2cents

 

definitely a programmer is the best to start with. i got discouraged from adding headers from exhaust people because they said you are always tinkering tightening bolts.
