    Wagner OEX Brake Pads

    Just replaced my stock brake pads with Wagner OEX pads since they get good reviews here. My stock pads weren't really at the point of needing to be changed, but the fronts were squealing something awful and I was getting tired of hearing them. So far I can tell the Wagners have improved...

    Solo Mach 44 Cat-Back System

    After lots of muffler swaps, I decided I wanted to purchase a cat-back system to see if they provide any better sound/performance than just the standard muffler swap. Before anyone says that the stock piping is good and you don't need a cat-back, I would agree, but I wanted to try a full...

    Dynomax Ultra Flo

    I posted a thread last week about a new muffler I had installed. It's a Dynomax Ultra Flo 6" round muffler. Dynomax doesn't seem to get talked about much so I wanted to share more about my opinions. If any of you have followed my muffler saga, you'll know that I've had many different mufflers...

    FS: Flowmaster 50HD

    I have a 50HD I need to clear out. This muffler sounds really good with no drone. I took it off as I wanted something a tad louder. Some of the factory paint has burned off, but it's in good shape overall. I had it installed for about 5 months during this Spring and early Summer. Just...

    SOLD: Borla Pro XS

    I have a lightly used Borla Pro XS muffler for sale. It was on my truck for about 3 weeks. This muffler has a nice deep tone and isn't crazy loud. The dark section on the end of the muffler is just my shadow/reflection from taking the picture. It's in great shape. 3" inlet and 2.5" dual...

    FS: Spintech Mufflers

    I have a Spintech 9000XL and 3000XL mufflers for sale. These mufflers sound great, but were a bit too loud for me. The 9000XL was on my truck for about 2 weeks and the 3000XL for about 2 months. Both are 3" inlet and 2.5" dual outlet. Asking $120 shipped for the 9000XL (sold) Asking $110...

    I Did It Again

    As some of you know from my previous posts, I like changing out mufflers. My latest swap is a Heartthrob 18" Velocity muffler (HVS) a couple of weeks ago and am very impressed. This is a brand that doesn't get mentioned very often, but if you're looking for something not too loud that sounds...

    Muffler Question

    As many of you know, I've had multiple mufflers on my truck. I ran into a good deal on a Dynomax 17227 20" Ultra Flo muffler and I'm wondering if it will work on my truck. I've always wanted to try out a Dynomax Ultra flo. It is 3" Inlet (offset) and dual 2.5" outlets. I know this will work...

    H11 to H9 Mod Question

    I've search older threads about modifying the H9 bulb to fit. My question is I've read where some trim both the metal top piece tab and the black rubber tab in the plug area and some only trim the black rubber tab and not the metal tab. I have a 2018 Big Horn with quad lights and wonder if I...

    New Wheels/Tire Width Question

    I know, not another wheel/tire size thread....but I've researched myself into confusion and hoping to get some clarification. My 1500 4x4 is leveled (with a tad of rake) with Bils set at 2.1....nothing in the rear. I have a Bighorn with stock 20x8 chrome clad wheels. I bought new wheels with...

    Wheel Hub Bore Question

    I am looking at some new wheels and the one's I'm interested in have a hub bore of 106.5. I know the bore on the 1500 is 77.8. Do I need to get hub rings to make up the difference in size? I spoke to the wheel retailer and they said I don't need the rings because the wheel is lug centric and...

    Eibach Pro Truck Kit vs Zone 4" Lift

    I'm wresting with the decision to do the Eibach Pro Truck Kit lift or a full Zone 4" lift. I like Eibach for the reason that it's simple and relatively easy to install with no cutting. I don't really care about the 1/2" difference in height and it would be easy enough to return back to stock...

    Another Muffler Swap

    Well, I thought I'd share thoughts on another muffler swap in case anyone is interested. I may have a muffler problem....LOL. I'm on my 6th muffler since owning my truck (April 2018). Not sure why I keep changing except I keep looking for a certain sound and each time I put a muffler on, it's...

    Atlanta Area Flowmaster 50HD

    Anyone in the Atlanta area have a Flowmaster 50HD on a 5.7 crew cab that I could hear in person? Considering getting one, but would like to hear it first hand. I'm on south side near Peachtree City, but could meet up anywhere in the Atlanta area. Thanks.

    FS: Spintech 9000XL

    I have a very lightly used Spintech 9000XL stainless muffler for sale. I had it on my truck for about 2 weeks. It was a little too loud and aggressive sounding for me. It has a great deep tone to it, just a bit louder than what I wanted. The muffler has a very high quality build and is...

    SOLD Borla Pro XS

    I have a lightly used Borla Pro XS muffler for sale. PN: 40349 (3" In/2.5" Dual Out). I had it on my truck for about 4 months. It sounds very good and is what I call a medium loud muffler. It's quiet on the highway and roars when you get on the gas. Best part is no cabin drone at all. One...

    Solo Performance Mach 44

    I've been through several mufflers over that past 8 months looking for something that appealed to me both in loudness and sound quality. I've had Magnaflow, Borla, Spintech, Black Widow, and now Solo Performance. I've been through thinking I wanted mild, to loud, and have figured out over time...

    Spintech 9000XL

    Hi all. Just had a Spintech Super Pro Street 9000XL put on my Ram 1500 CC over lunch today. Sounds great so far. It replaces a Borla Pro XS which I really liked, but wanted just a bit more sound. This is my 3rd muffler swap. First was Magnaflow 14", then Borla Pro XS, and now the 9000XL...

    Exhaust Pipe Diameter

    I have a question about exhaust pipe diameter. Was noticing the cat back systems mostly have 3" inlet and 2.5" exit piping. I know stock piping is 3" in and 2.25" out. I was speaking with my muffler shop as I'm going in next week for a muffler swap about the benefits of adding an aftermarket...

    Hellwig Sway Bar

    Installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 2018 Ram yesterday. Wow, what a difference it made in handling. I was a bit skeptical that I would notice any difference, but could tell immediately that the rear end felt more planted. I put it in the middle hole and I think it's perfect. Very...

    Muffler Location Question

    Hi all, I am going to be changing out my muffler (again) and wondering what will happen if I move it back about 18" from where my current muffler is located? Will this effect potential cabin drone? I have a 2018 1500 CC Bighorn (Hemi) with a Borla Pro XS (SI/DO) w/ resonators and 5" tips. I...

    First Oil Change

    I just had my first oil change. Thanks to the fine folks here I went straight to Redline 5w30 with a Royal Purple filter. I have a 2018 Big Horn 4x4 with 3900 miles and decided to go ahead and have the oil changed. My oil life gauge still showed 66%. I haven't noticed any real engine tic or...

    ETC Issue Today

    I had my electronic throttle control warning light start flashing at me this morning on my way to work. I was on an exit ramp backed up in traffic and it just went off. I was able to drive the truck to the office but it was sluggish and acted like it was going to stall. I called dealer and...
