Well I bit the bullet and decided I wanted to go faster. All the good things you may read about Matt at Moe's performance are 100% true. He answered all the questions and this is what I decided on. I ordered the Vararam Intake, 87mm throttle body, ARH 1 3/4" long tubes with cats and a Intune tuner with a hemifever tune. I trade a 2007 Charger SRT8 in on my Ram and I feel like I will be pretty close to what I am use to after I get this all installed. Thanks again Matt

No problem at all. Everything should be there tomorrow, so hopefully the weather holds up for you this weekend. You are going to be amazed at the difference in power with these simple upgrades.

Im still debating on if I should install headers myself or pay someone. I read mixed reviews on install difficulty

The newer your truck, the easier the install.

I've never done Gen IV header install, but I think you should be able to handle it just fine.

Headers are easy to install, just pull the front wheels and fender liners and it's all right there. Remove the oil dipstick from driver side, bend it around the header to reinstall, making sure it is secured away so it does not rattle. Our knock sensors are very sensitive, they can and will pick it up causing timing to be pulled meaning less power.

I agree it looks diy but I see people post its 6 to 8 hour job and I'm trying to figure out why.

Has to do with which pieces (kit) you go with and how well you plan everything out. My install included a trip to town to have a **** welded in and modify the cats. Took about 5 hours.

Took me and my buddy Mario 4 hours without air tools. Get yourself a stubby flex head gear wrench, it will be your best friend for getting at the bolts on the bottom of the header flange.
