Hey guys I picked up my "new" 2013 Ram for a steal. She's a mineral gray 2013 Sport CC pretty loaded with 5065km. Heated/Cooled Leather, Heated Steering Wheel, Sunroof, Uconnect 8.4 with Nav, back up cam etc. Theres is only a small problem lol...it was rear-ended. The hitch bent the frame a bit, it needs a tail gate, bumper, frame fixed, etc. I have a body man that will fix and paint everything good as new! All said and done like brand new I will be about $28 000 into the truck..not bad. I will post the progress in this thread + all mods there-after. In the meantime I'll still be rollin in my good old 04' hemi!

Heres some pics now:

Nice recovery! Truck looks good as new now.
There are a lot of opinions on CAIs floating around.

The consensus seems to be Vararam or S&B for a quality unit with any actual gains.
Most of the others will give you some more sound, and little more.

Good to see her fixed up. Looks great!

I run Vararam and I love that thing. It actually makes a performance difference.

Doesnt have that "growl" as I would like might go back to k&n or install a TB spacer (i know i know) Performs good though nice fit easy install.

Muffler delete and new black 5"tips. Sounds mean!! I love it. Left resonators on

Looks good. Time for the 6 inch suspension lift now lol

thanks man, haha I'm tempted but I may go with a 4", Have 35's going on tomorrow on stock wheels with 1/4" spacers. Hoping it won't look to bad for now 35s are pretty big on a level.
