You never really win on this forum. You just lose....money that is.

What other mods do you have in mind for your truck? I have a had a few enclosed systems and think they are pretty good. They won't register too high on the butt dyno but you will hear a difference.

I put the VR Air Grabber(from Moe's) on my lifted RAM Sport a few weeks ago. My gauge for performance was all the very steep hills I drive on a daily basis. With the lift and the larger tires etc...at somewhat slow speeds the truck was downshifting fairly often. Once I put the VR on, I noticed a dramatic drop in downshifts and an ability to maintain a slow climb easier. By slow I mean 25-30mph. You will also notice it a lot at WOT (wide open throttle). When it hits the 2-3 and 3-4 gear transition, hang on!!! You can definitely tell the truck is not fighting for air.

Once you install the VR you can also do something fun like a dual battery setup on the passenger side.

Any Chance you can show a few more pictures, or a post on the set up

Are you planning to do anything about the stock air passsage through the right fender?

Your box looks pretty squared away.

Hands down best performance for the money CAI is the Diy stock airbox mod (drill 3 or 4 inch hole in the bottom of the box and run a new air intake line straight down or routed to lower front grill opening).

Best $7 mod I have done on my 14 sport.

Does not reset to stock at lease turn-in or trade-in time. No bueno.

This was my S&B that I had on my 09. Loved it. Just waiting for them to release one for the 14's.

Just wanted to welcome you to a new dodge ram forum.

A used airbox is probably less than $50 to replace the modded one with if you had to...


... But in reality what are the odds they would even notice lol


Just my 2 cents. Go waste $300 if that's your intent tho...

 

[Appauldd]

I have to agree the DIY CAI stock box is 20 bucks well spent. I tell you that by the way I did mine I would only have to replace a $6 elbow to be 100% stock. Truth be told, unless you know these trucks like the back of your hand you would think my DIY came stock.

Pics of your diy? I am curious about the $6 elbow your talking about.

Edit: I found your info on the mod. Thanks!!

The DIY works well and it is the most cost effective, but the Vararam has that wow factor when you pop the top....

I didn't end up using that little pipe extension piece.

Be careful of oiled filters as the oil residues can mess with your mass air sensor

 

[DavidinGA]

I'm running a 4" pipe on mine straight down by the way.

 

[Lhemi]

Where did you get that batterie tray?

It has wow factor alright.

Wow, look at that pos is typically the response they are given.

The build quality is horrible. It doesn't even come close to the claims they advertise.

What a negative douche bag thing to say. You just can't help it can you.
Every and I mean EVERY time I've popped my hood it's been Wow that's ******* cool!!!
