Default Not my 1st...

Not my first Dodge, but it is the first i'm proud of. My other being a Grand Caravan.

I just bought a 2005 Ram SLT 1500 Quad Cab with the 5.7 Hemi. Looking to improve gas mileage on it. Everything on it is stock at this point. I've ordered a Volant CAI. Hopefully shows up this week so I can install it this weekend.

Then am also interested in doing a cat-back exhaust upgrade. I'm just starting research on them, as I've never replaced any before. Mostly looking for less restriction 1st, but I won't complain if it makes it sound better too!

Thats all i got
