That is a option just not on the 14's yes from what I hear. Anyway those that have made the swap have usually been disappointed because its still very much beta still. While CMR is well developed. I also HPT my GM rides but am sticking with CMR for the RAMs for the time being. CMR works very well and brings on lots of power.

Even on the older Rams I design custom cams for CMR works perfect.

I loved the sound of my dodge when I swapped out to the 14 inch magnaflow. The wife not so much lol. She really gets loud when the packing sets in.

Nice grippy !

Did the truck also come with a resonator like most of the new stuff does ? Just curious .

X2 awesome color .

It's always fun to have a clean slate to play with .
The older I get the less I mod my daily/family commuter , I've only cut off the resonator and took out the back blocks along with a intake tube and catch can .
How far are you going to go ? How much drop ?

Mod on brother so far so good !

Yeah man, resonators are still on. Love the sound!
Depending on the amount/frequency of codes thrown, may do some SW long tubes, may.
Gonna do a s&b intake and really want a sweet tune.....but as always....who to trust? We always seem like the trail and error dummies (enter) whatever modding community you are a part of.
either going with McGaughys or Belltech drop. I like the idea of drop spindles but not if their iron. May just have to go with springs.
maybe some special shocks, thinking Fox or QA1. We'll see. In no hurry as always.

so the other thing I'd like to add is that I absolutely love this 8 speed transmission......it seems to find the right gear like right now anything part throttle.....however it does have a bit of lag when you stop the gas pedal.....definitely some torque management going on there.....but all in all this is one sweet *** tranny
