Mods I wasn't sure where to put this but it seems like every other day that some1 new is asking the same questions, "what's the best this and that" "cai, exhaust, tuners, etc" THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ASKING QUESTIONS BUT WHEN SEARCH IS NOT USED AND THE BOARD GETS FLOODED WITH THE SAME QUESTIONS IT IS! Well I combined everything any new ram owner would need to know as far as mods go. After you take a look at these links, by all means, ask any questions you might have! We have a ton of info and knowledge and be more than happy to help!

2.K&N or Amsoil drop ins are always the way to go until u save money for a true C.A.I. or decide to make you own.
B.Exhaust. Most people on this forum go change their muffler out with (magnaflow, flowmaster, etc) and replace their factory restrictive Y Pipe with one from magnaflow (part #10778 for the 2009-2012)

C.Catch Can. Will not give you any noticeable performance increase but will save your engine in the long run. Catch cans are designed to trap all the oil that normally is thrown back into your intake via the PCV system to be burned off.

Many of our fine vendors also sell these catch cans.
D. 180 Thermostat. An easy 10 minute mod to help keep your engine cooler. It will not give you any noticeable performance increase but rather free up lost horsepower.
