    Opinion on Pioneer TS-G6930F (6x9) to upgrade factory 6-spk?

    I am looking to improve the HORRIBLE sound of the factory 6 speakers of my 2019 RAM Classic.

    Best muffler for a 3.6L V6 RAM?

    I just want to know what is the best sport muffler for a V6 3.6L RAM that doesn't require too much modification to OE piping. I am looking for a moderate/mild sound with the deepest (lowest) tone as possible. I don't plan to remove the tiny resonator that is located over the axle except if it's...

Then my dealer gave me (for free) an extra set of steelies with some very good Pirelli 17 inch winter tires that match the...

    Spectre Performance vs K&N intake?

    Hi, I am in the process of purchasing an intake kit for my 2019 RAM 1500 Classic V6 and obviously there's way less options that for the HEMI. So in conclusion there's two options for the V6 and they are the Spectre Performance and the K&N intake. In Canada, the MSRP for the Spectre is 299$ CAD...

    Installed a 10$ tailgate assist shock (Deezee-a-like)

    Just wanted to share that I've purchased a 10$ tailgate assist shock system on AliExpress (with free express shipping) and delivery took only 12 days to Canada. Comes in a brown box, no instructions, no brand. Look like 99.9% identical to Deezee Tailgate Assist without the logo, so I strongly...

    Received my 3D Maxpider Kagu floor liners, very nice for the price!

    I always used WeatherTech or Husky Liners in my other vehicle, they are nice but priced (especially Weathertech) and I don't think the hard plastic finish look very nice and become very hard to clean as soon as it got scratched. So when bought my RAM 1500, I decided to check for other options...

    I live in Northern Canada where winter last around 6-8 months per year.

    As some of you may know, I replaced my old 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan by a 2019 RAM 1500 Classic. The base sound system in the Caravan were definitely decent, however in the RAM 1500, it's definitely disappointing a lot for me. I have the 8.4c uConnect radio which is AWESOME, but the factory 6...
