I appreciate your 3 different comparisons.

I do wonder, why did you change from "S-Tube" in the 'middle' video to 'chambered' with the headers?

Also, any word on fitment for 2013 2500 4x Hemi?

probably has to do with the need of restriction in the system with the 1 7/8 primaries and dual 3".

id really like to see a before and after dyno chart on this to see how much low end torque is lost.

Excellent comparison and options on your website. Finally somebody who lets you choose between a factory connection and a true dual set up if you're going that route. Need some dyno numbers now.

thats a big one....large primaries on the headers, and dual 3 inch pipes on a Naturally Aspirated engine.....i have to see a dyno sheet and or TRACK times to verify the gains. :)

maybe a good comparison would be against arh lt with 1 3/4 primaries and a mbrp/maggy cat back

Thanks for all the feedback and comments. We have experienced great performance out of the hemi engines in the Challenger using the larger 1-7/8" primaries, so we translated this over the the application in the Ram trucks. We do have a number of systems out there and feedback was positive for performance and sound. Sorry we don't have any real dyno numbers to prove but I'm sure there will be some sent over to us soon. Most already have been installed and have been driving them for a few months now. I know first hand you notice the power gain as soon as you step on the throttle, there is no delay, its a HEMI, you can't go wrong.

Good news is that since we already have a fixture for the 1-7/8" primaries we can easily make some in 1-3/4" but just haven't experienced the demand for them until recently.

Is there any benefit to going with 1 7/8" primaries? It was my understanding that it was better to go with 1 3/4" for vehicles with just bolt ons due to lack of back pressure from bigger primaries.

Are the headers for 2wd or do they also fit 4x4?

Is a tune required with the complete system or can they just be bolted on?

No benefit in going to 1-7/8, 1-3/4 is more than enough for the 5.7L.

Sybil, it'll run on the factory tune, but it'll be rich as hell. Even with a canned Diablo tune it leaned it out to a more desirable AFR.

Well, I'm not up on the truck tunes. Is that a hand held tuner and I guess I can buy a downloadable tune?

Go check out the Group Buy for the 1 3/4 primaries in GotExhaust.com Vendor section!

Just got my SW exhaust from them and would love to add these headers to make it the full perfromance setup with true duals
