Bought the vararam from moes performance they had amazing speed in shipping it. Great job! It works great and I love the appearance of it. There are a few things I would like to point out. Everybody that has a 2013 you can skip the step about moving the wiring behind the horn assembly the 2013's don't have that. I figured that out about 30 minutes later. The other thing is that the piece that goes behind your grill can be installed upside down make sure to pay attention to that. Overall great mod!

Ok I will at lunch I'm at work right now. And to me it seems like it doesn't go down far enough.

The gap is suppose to fit around the horn bracket. I don't think it really goes down far enough to pick up a ton of air.

I mentioned in another thread that it almost looks like it could double as a heat shield. But how much heat could rise there unless you were stopped?

Yes mine points toward the from of the truck and it is installed right because each end is cut different so it will fit right but in all of the pictures before I got it it's showed the wing had a bend in it and mine is just straight

The 2009-2012 kits have a bend in the front wing and the red coupler is only 4.5" long. The 2013-2014 kits use a flat wing with notches cut out of both upper corners and a 5.5" long coupler. Great job on the install...it looks great.

I agree. I have an 09 and I don't think I really needed to move the wires but I did. I also cut and reinstalled the shroud. They do like great though.

Any issues with installing a 2009-2012 on a 13+ ram?

I installed mine and it seems pretty good except that it's sort of crooked sideways because of the A/C hoses I think.

If I may speak for myself, improvement over stock is definitely noticable. Power is improved and so is the throttle response! As for MPG, I have yet to notice an improvement as I have been always tempted to punch the gas pedal to listen to that roaring sound!
