Cold Air Intake produces a 41 Horsepower Gain for 2025 Ram?

So, now, we need our own version of the Grand Ole Opry!? Austin City Limits used to be a cool thing! Somehow "Nashville City Limits" doesn't have that ring to it, eh?

WELL there is Austin City Limits comes on late, usually on OTA stations. That's if it is even still on...

Maybe some of them dudes from 6th Street wandered over to H Town, LMAO.

Do they still put it on a lift and check to see if the cats are still there and a decent muffler is present? They did check those things when I last lived there back in 94. Whatever county/area Greenville is in.

Not in my area anyways. Maybe in the few places which still test for emissions.

Maybe, but the visibility is terrible if you have a 2010 or 2011 without a backup camera. I had a 2010 SS for about 6 months. I hated it LOL

I feel like we had this conversation before, but maybe it was somewhere else. Set the mirrors properly and visibility is fine with no blind spots, unless someone is squatting down reading your license plate when you start to back up or something...

There's different ways to accomplish this, but I:

1) Put my head against the driver's window, adjust the driver's side out just past where I can see my own car.
2) Put my head inline with the center console, do the same for passenger's side.

Here in the Lonestar state, our emissions test includes one step which is Federal EPA mandated... the gas cap part of the test.

If that is a Federally mandated test, why don't they test for that where I live? We have no emissions testing at all where I live.

Here in the good ole' Heart O' Dixie, they rarely even come out to inspect a vehicle that you bought out of state. A pic on your phone of the VIN sticker is typically all they want to see. Let alone testing... it would require someone to leave their desk. Not to mention, you'd be hard pressed to find many inspectors that have unmodified vehicles that would pass the test.

They don't typically care about window tint either, as long as it isn't 0% and you aren't acting a fool when they see you. My Durango had 5% tint stem to stern with 50% on the windshield (wife had it done, and didn't know what she was asking for). Nobody ever batted an eye. All of our vehicles have 20% all the way around now, with 50% on the windshield. My son got pulled over for speeding 2 weeks ago and they didn't even bring up tint.

I'm running with 20% all around and 70% on the windshield and never get hasseled in Ontario, Canada.

I even have lightly smoked out plate covers and it's never an issue. However, it is an offense under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act to "obscure" ones plate with any cover other than a clear one.

I guess it just depends on how the Officer is feeling that day...and how you treat him or her when they walk up to your windows (;

“The Heart of Dixie.” I remember when they used to put that slogan on their license plates along with the heart symbol when I was a kid.

Sadly, not here in Huntsville any longer... they just renamed a street downtown that used to be called Heart of Dixie. I presume because we are now heavily transplanted and didn't want to offend anyone.

Yep, Huntsville is like Charleston where I live with the overdevelopment. I plan on retiring there in a few years a few counties further South but I don’t consider myself as an outsider since my mother was born and raised there.

Plate covers will get you stopped and cited by Texas Dept. of Public Safety Officers! BIG TIME!
