Cool blog guys thanks for sharing! I have a 2012 ram that I want to header work on and your video motivated even more to do so!

Dude, that sounds insanely good before and after! The headers are a great buy! Tune it now!

My son bought a hiflow cat , he started having trouble ringing in his ears , we took truck to muffler shop moved tips back to rear bumper , all good now and he has headers too! Really woke up his 360 it will smoke both rear tires now!

I just noticed you had or have an SHO. I have owned a few of those over the years. Wish I would have never sold my 91 plus. It was an amazing car after I finished it. Damn I miss it more now. Great video but I'm with you I'd definitely have to get rid of the raspy sound.

I love the color of the truck, my dad has the black one with the shiny specks. I really wish he would get it cammed

What headlight bulbs are you running?

I have a 2019 Ram Limited I just did a forged 6.4 hemi swap with a cam and ProCharger supercharger. I still have. The stock 5.7 headers on it. So I’m looking into ordering a set of long tube headers for it as soon as possible. I was considering the kooks because they seem to be the best. I’m happy to see that they seem to improve the sound, but not necessarily make it louder. I do tow with the truck. I also currently have a muffler delete on the truck. Thank you for the informative video. The truck looks and sounds great. I’m sure you’ve done some more work in the last couple of years. I will have to check out more of your videos.

Hey man, I’m interested on some more info on the 6.4 swap you did. What was needed other than the engine itself? We’re you able to just drop it in using the same trans, motor mounts, etc… how hard was the process and what did it cost roughly

Did a tune get rid of engine light?

I don’t know if you already got your catback exhaust for the “raspy” tone, but perhaps getting a pair of 5” exhaust tips could eliminate the raspiness. The tips give it a deeper tone when you do a cold start or hit those initial RPMs.

What exhaust are you running?

If you’re not wanting to spend close to 3 grand for just the header system which I totally understand, the best option for cheap in my opinion would be American racing headers.

You're laughing about it the entire video, but without being all knowing or doing proper math, the answer is that; the exhaust pressure is less now, so the exhaust temperature is colder now. Cooler exhaust is more dense, and thus your exhaust transfers more sound over the packed atoms. It is also possible that the flow is slower, which might be understood as louder. ftw
