There's the thread with all the different exhaust videos in performance section I think. YouTube has a bunch of videos of the progressive and competition mufflers.

The comp does sound deeper.

I was told that the comp is loud all the time, even at idle. The videos are cool but nothing is better then seeing and hearing it for yourself.

I like loud but I have neighbors and there all cops, don't need that hassle. My wife dogs her Challenger every morning at 4am when she takes off for work, already have to hear about that from the neighbors. :)

I have the progressive. ..plenty aggressive enough. Idle is very calm and when you hit the gas it growls for sure. It's the wife's truck and I can hear her down the street and around the corner when she leaves in the morning

I most likely will go with the progressive too. I just want to hear the other one first. Why do the wife's always get the loud and cool cars and trucks?

Took an hour to break them both open. Oven at 225 I put in headlight one and got my tools ready. Pulled that one out, put the 2nd in, as I worked on that one a few minutes, then swapped and kept doing that till I had both lens off. It was a few inches at a time on the sides, once I broke the outside corner free because of how its shaped, they basically fell apart. Not hard, just had to keep them hot and not overheat. Once I had them going they were only back in a few minutes till Id swap it with the other light.

Those are Morimoto D2S minis from TRS. They have been great to me so far. I started with the Profile branded D2S projectors and broke them both, they were going to mail me new ones no charge till we figured out why they broke, upgraded me for nearly nothing to the Morimotos which was a no brainier once seeing them in person. I know there are a few retrofit suppliers, so far TheRetrofitSource has been amazing. When i do my fogs I will be using them again, I just wish they talked me out of the Morimoto Fogs.

I would be doing the lift with the wheels and tires first! Post up some pics here as you install all the accessories.

I would normally agree but the tires and wheels are part of an entire front-end fix & upgrade project. The entire project list is:

Install a Rancho 4" lift with 2" front leveling and shocks
35" BFG Mud Terrain tires
Classic-style wheels
Unit bearing delete /full-float locking hub kit
Air lockers w/air compressor, tank, and air hose kit
New axle seals
New steering u-joints
New ball joints
New steering linkage pieces (maybe replace entire steering linkage to top of knuckle config)
New diff cover
Diff skid plate

<whew> That's a lot of work and $$$$$... I'm saving up to do the entire project at once, so it only has to be disassembled once.

And I still don't know what the heck I was thinking when I had the back seat out to install the work radios and didn't do the folding seat modification... <facepalm>

Let's see here...

Westin HDX running boards
FXR 3.0 3" Hid with Osram CBI nightbreakers retrofitted into paint to match shroud headlights with pod led highbeams
2.5" level with King coilovers / piggy back rears tuned by thuren
305/70/18s STT Pros on ATX bronze wheels
Upgraded infinity ref speakers all around with JBL 6x9's in the rear
Custom Punisher american flag logos in place of the rams head on front grill, tailgate and steering wheel
Vinyl american flag in faded black on the rear window
Dee zee tailgate assist
Husky all weather mats
LED fogs, 3rd brakelight and reverse lights
Dipped Ram 1500 emblem, Hemi emblem, 4x4 emblem, mirror caps, door handles, bumpers and part of the grill
Carven competition exhaust with dual 5" black tips

I'm sure I forgot something in there... As far as rest of mods I plan to do would be

Finally get my front windows tinted to match the rears
Possibly get the dipped bumpers, mirror caps, door handles and grill in a paint to match color over the black
Possibly get a 4" lift that I can use the king shocks with
Maybe some engine work to give it a little more go.

Tonneau cover, was thinking about one of those. There around $1200.00 around here. Big investment maybe down the road.
