Where did you mount the "push button" for the air horn? Any pics?

I mounted it on the flat spot just behind and below the parking brake release handle, in the plastic there. Nobody would ever know it’s there unless they reached for the brake release and found it accidentally. Truck is gone now, traded in so no pics unfortunately.

I took the female half of the plug to an automotive audio store and got them to make me a couple pigtails then after fishing the wires from the strips through the fabric, I spliced them together and heat shrink wrapped them.

You just get these pin ends crimped on you wires then insert them into the back of the half of the connector that doesn’t have wires.
Separate your connectors then slide the white side pieces forward, insert your pin ends of the wires then pull the white side pieces back. They lock your wires in place. Then re connect the two halves of your connectors.
Hopefully this helps.

Catch can doesn’t “add” HP. IT MIGHT help prevent noticeable loss due to crap in the intake over time.

Why does Amazon have so many Dee Zees to choose from??? This one is the best for Rams???
Hard to say. I guessing some are fake, some are knock offs, some are real but sold by different vendors for different prices. I'm sure there's a ton more reasons. The one I show is the one I purchased about 2.5 years ago and it's still going strong. You might check with @Nick@GotExhaust though. He might have a better price.

THNX, just wanted to make sure I got the right one. Your testimony is good enough for me.

Hey guys, this is definitely under 100 bucks. Never be afraid of trying to do something yourself. This was only my second time vinyl wrapping. I'm sure I will get better and faster in time.
Here's my cost breakdown:

Vinyl wrap $12.99
Tool kit $8.99
Painters tape $2.99
Microfiber cloth $14.99
Heat gun $24.99

Total $64.95 before tax [emoji38]

Loving the look of her rear end as I walk away......
