    Put stock muffler back on, more Torque?

    It's actually funny though, because I put on the stock muffler which is around 40-50lbs easily, yet when I stomp the gas from a stop the tires light up. Without the muffler, barely any tire slip. I'd call that a low-end torque increase.

    Put stock muffler back on, more Torque?

    Well it definitely feels more powerful in 1st gear, weird lol.

    Put stock muffler back on, more Torque?

    A year ago I had a shop remove my mid muffler on my 3.6L, I got tired of the sound to be honest, not a V8 lol. Anyway after having them put on the stock one today I instantly noticed an increase in Torque just giving the gas pedal a press. Is this due to back pressure added? I just like that...

    Nerf bars removed, bolts loose still in body any ideas how to remove em?

    Thanks guys, yeah I was just out there for an hour, so annoying. I fished around pretty well, no luck. Now I'm reading that it can be body mount screws making noise, or even drivers side rear window track noise. I can't narrow it down. If I shut the rear drivers side door from outside I get...

    Nerf bars removed, bolts loose still in body any ideas how to remove em?

    I had a shop remove my nerf bars, this was a few weeks ago. Now I notice driving over small bumps there is a rattling noise coming from the drivers side of the truck from where the nerf bars were. At first I thought it was the ebrake cable bouncing off the underbody but it's not. I tried one...

    Any Muffler Recommendations?

    I need a cheap muffler for my 2017 V6 Pentastar RAM 1500, I had an exhaust shop do a mid muffler delete and I sold the stock muffler 6 months ago. Can I just have a shop like Meineke or Pep Boys throw on and weld in a basic muffler to quiet the noise? How do these Pentastar V6 engines like...

    Air Dam & Nerf Bars Delete

    I should have mentioned my passenger side hit a high curb and it ripped it, you can't see it in the pic but I put black duct tape on it to fix lol. So I just took it off instead of replacing.

    Air Dam & Nerf Bars Delete

    When I first purchased this truck I put on Lund nerf bars.... They served me well, but I won't miss the bruises on my shins from bumping into them HAHAHA. Air dam gone too, love the clean look, great ground clearance too from removing these parts.

    What is this on exhaust?

    LOL it does for real! I'm guessing the shop thought it was too and left it. Either way I'm pleasantly surprised how the truck sounds with just a mid muffler delete, sure it ain't no V8 but it sounds better than NO sound like stock. Also like the rear resonator looking like a muffler, so if an...

    What is this on exhaust?

    If anyone can take a picture of your mid muffler on your 3.6L just to confirm my truck isn't a one-off, that would be great.

    What is this on exhaust?

    Weird lol, it was on the stock mid muffler. Definitely not a flex pipe.

    What is this on exhaust?

    Hey folks I bit the bullet and had a shop do a mid muffler delete, sounds better than I expected I'll post a thread with sound/idle/drive by on my day off. This is one thing I've never seen before, what is this bulge in the pipe? This bulge was part of the stock oem muffler, they basically cut...

    Is Tow/Haul mode better for daily stop n go commute?

    Wow took a 30 minute drive, definitely impressed how the tow/haul mode kinda wakes the truck up. I love the engine braking/downshifts coming to a red light from 50mph. The bogging I was feeling is no longer there too! Glad I learned about this randomly. I already get terrible MPG's because...

    Is Tow/Haul mode better for daily stop n go commute?

    It's the 8 speed auto, 3.21 gears 3.6L Pentastar. It just seams like the engine is barely alive when cruising under 40mph. I'm going to grab dinner and try tow/haul just to see.

    Is Tow/Haul mode better for daily stop n go commute?

    I very rarely tow/haul or hit up the highway. Most of my driving is under 45mph with stop and go commute. My current MPG is around 14 mpg, this can also be because I do let it idle a lot when eating lunch or breakfast on my work break. Today taking a drive I noticed how low the rpm's sit...

    V6 Ram owners what is your MPG??

    Nice color! Love mine, enjoy it!

    Muffler Delete

    Yeah you can make it sound deep at idle but most videos DON'T show wide open throttle acceleration etc, it sounds like a pissed off 350Z. I'd be embarrassed with that sound LOL outta a truck. I'm keeping mine hush quiet.

    Exhaust V6 questions

    You might want to hold off unless you like the sound of V6 japanese cars like the Infiniti G35 or similair. I was going to open up my exhaust but researched and watched a ton of videos, the truck sounds like a V6 ricer with open exhaust.

    V6 Ram owners what is your MPG??

    I live a mile away from my job, so no highway it's all stop and go up to around 45mph...and I idle in my truck in the AZ heat eating lunch....literally I'm at 13 mpg's.

    Straight pipe in place of the mid section resonator? Deeper sound?

    I spent hours on youtube, and I came to the conclusion to just leave it stock. This V6 sounds like an Infiniti G35 with the exhaust opened up LOL. Sure some exhaust setups sound good at idle, but I didn't realize how much it sounded like a V6 Ricer at wide open throttle..... Mods if you want...

    Straight pipe in place of the mid section resonator? Deeper sound?

    Thanks, but I want it to sound a bit louder and deep. I don't want to open it up too much because these V6's really sound like crap (in my opinion) when it's too loud. Just want a bit louder, and added deep sound. Anyone just take the muffler off and throw in a Flowmaster? Years ago I had...

    Straight pipe in place of the mid section resonator? Deeper sound?

    I can't find much on the stock exhaust being only slightly modified. I'm looking for a bit louder, maybe deeper sound at idle and regular cruising speed around 30-45mph. Correct me if i'm wrong, I believe the mid section exhaust piece is a resonator, which is probably quite heavy also. Is it...

    Question on oil life/change

    Sorry for the late reply, the oil life indicator says 38% left, and it was last reset at the oil change 2300 miles ago. I believe they used synthetic but not sure to be honest, I usually change my own oil on past vehicles, but the last few times I had a half off coupon so like $80 for oil...

    Question on oil life/change

    Hey sorry for the newb question, I have a 2017 Ram 1500 w/Pentastar V6 which has 15K miles on it. I currently drive around 200 miles per month, my commute to work is only a mile which is a blessing! Otherwise I drive at street speeds, 25-45mph if traveling, I rarely use the highway. My oil...
