First, I sincerely apologize if this is posted somewhere else. I used the search and didn't find much on this topic. If it's already posted, please just link me to that thread if you can and I'll delete this one...
I got a 15 Ram with the 5.7 hemi. My only mods so far are just exterior side steps, back up cam, and a new head unit and speakers. Looking for a nicer sound from my truck which will include changing the muffler out for something with a nice deep tone, but not too loud. Maybe a flowmaster 40 or 50.
I wondered with our trucks if the Cold Air Intake is a wise choice with the 5.7 hemi? Im not mechanic but it seems like the stock air box and setup is pretty big already. Will it do anything for me in terms of sound or mpg? Will it hurt my mpg at all? I don't plan on doing any kind of tuning...
I've read that a tuner with a 2015 Ram is a complete PITA because you can't just plug in and tune the PCM on these trucks due to them locking up and disabiing the truck. So I read that you have to send the PCM out and either get a 2nd PCM made for tuning, or have something modified.
Basically I dont want to put out hundreds for a CAI and get the same result as if I'd buy a $50 drop in K&N filter. Just looking for suggestions and advice from those of you who have both.
I appreciate it!
