S&B Intake?
Man o man, did I ever want one of those.
Still do, actually, strictly because they look so darn good, when you lift the Hood.
Best thing about them, other than louder sound, form the engine, as it takes in Air, is the fact that when you do rap out Engine RPM's, as in when passing someone at highway speeds, more air is delivered is to the engine.
I actually did something a little bit different, trying to save that $300 to be used elsewhere. Now, I doubt if I ever do get an S&B intake, since what I did seems to work so well.
This is the thread where I got the idea.

Muffler?
Magnaflow or Borla?
That is a Ram vs Ford vs Chevy kind of thing.
Go to youtube, type in RAM 1500 Magnaflow
Start listening to videos, to see which exhaust sounds like music, to your ears.
I went Magnaflow 24" Muffler.
as you go smaller, in size, the exhaust gets louder.
22" is very popular.
18", as well.
Seems like 14" & 24" are the red headed step children but, that 24" is as loud as I would ever want to go. , not so much.
Land on a Mangaflow muffler, then do teh saem until you find a Borla you like.
Once you got it down to just two of them, decide betwixt the Finalists.
Would not dream of taking that fun away from you. I had a blast choosing among all those youtube videos. You will too.
Again, welcome to the Forum.
Lots of great info here and tremendously helpful folks sharing it.
