Was busy this weekend I own a 2014 2WD 1500, I installed a set of BBK shorties they did fit well only problem with the product was a piece of welding **** in one of the bolt holes and one hole was off just a enough you couldn't get the bolt in, both where remedied with a small grinder.
These headers where a total PITA to install, the instructions said it could be done in 2 hours, it took me 3.5 just to get the old stuff off, you do have to remove the inner fenders i don't see how it could be done any other way, you do have to pull the starter to get to a couple of the headers bolts and you have to rebend the dipstick tube to get it back in, I used the factory Mopar gaskets and a set of 6.1 manifold bolts with the heat activated lock tight on them they worked perfect, this job took me 8 hours to do. If you are going to do this job go to Sears and buy one of every kind of 10mm wrench they have, it took at least 6 different wrenches to get to everything.
The S&B air cleaner was a snap to put on, it fit perfect and is very high quality.
I installed a Mag-Hytec oil pan while I had the exhaust loose It also was a snap to install and fit perfect and is very high quality.
I also installed a remote oil filter while I was at it, I used the TransDapt adapters they where very good quality and I used real braided oil lines, I had ordered the TransDapt oil lines but they looked like junk to me, you do need the inner fender out to do this install also, made it much easier to get to the engine end of the install.
Tomorrow I will be installing the tuner I've had in the garage since last June.
