  1. The intake tube is RPM motorsports out of Arizona. The ported throttle body and upper/lower intake manifold were from Modern Muscle Extreme out of Virginia. I was actually looking just looking at there site and now they have a 80mm hemi throttle body kit. Now that’s exciting! I wish I still had my RT Journey.
  2. That sounds about right. I think that was the closest kit I found for figment when I was researching also.
  3. I actually made my intake with 3.5 inch diameter tubing to get more air than that of the smaller diameter tubing eBay and K&N intake. K&N does not make an intake set up for the 2018 Dodge Journey. Later I actually went away with the “CAI” set up for a aftermarket tubing that runs from the stock air box to the throttle body. Eliminating all that restrictive black plenum before your throttle body. I also added a ported throttle body and upper and lower intake manifold. That’s where the noticeable throttle response and power came into play. I’ll take my setup over your proven K&N CAI any day. Lol
  4. What year, model and motor do you have? I can’t find any springs, preferably Eibach, for my 2015 RT.
  5. I'll do you one better. I bought them from Bear River Converters through eBay. Their website is http://www.bearriverconverters.com/. It looks like they relisted the tips I bought. Here is the link. https://www.ebay.com/itm/JST139K-PAIR-2-5-Black-Round-Exhaust-Tips-2-1-2-Inlet-4-Outlet-5-Long-/162285043356?hash=item25c8f13e9c
  6. Same down here in Georgia. We don't get inspections though. Just a ticket if they chose to pull you. That generally only happens in smaller towns or counties. I know from experience. LOL I don't know exactly what the legal limit is for the driver and passenger side windows. I usually just go with what looks good to me, along with the strip on the windshield. Looks good @CrossCountryPanther!!!
  7. That sucks! I knew California was more strict, but I didn't know exactly how strict.
  8. I finally got my exhaust done. I decided to stick with the stock resonator, delete the mufflers and add 4 inch black powder coated tips for looks. Let me know what you think of the sound. Once I get a good car wash I’ll post a couple pics.
  9. Welcome, welcome from Atlanta, Georgia!!!
  10. I got my 2015 Journey RT in June. I just added my location to the Member Map. Love the map idea. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. Stone Mountain to be exact.
  11. Thanks @Bryman31! My Journey was previously owned in Michigan. So, I sprayed the calipers while on the vehicle and sprayed all the visible suspension parts as well. It definitely made a difference over the "rusty" look.
  12. @2late4u I did think about that and was going to research further. Thanks for that input @bfurth. Where exactly is that gasket? In the portion I left, removed, or closer to the throttle body?
  13. This is true. I'll think on it more and see where my imagination takes me idea wise. For now, it looks good and sounds alright. I'd still like some cooler air without the stock air box look. lol
  14. Are you talking about the piece that starts at the edge of the hood and drops about 18 inches and used to flow into the bottom of the air cleaner box? If so, that thought crossed my mind, I just haven't come up with an idea to get the flow straight from the edge of the hood to filter itself. Then my thought process went to just trying to keep the air cooler. Which is why I ended up leaving that piece in for now and could build up around it to try and keep out heat. I'm open to suggestions though. If one idea doesn't do it, a combination of ideas could.
  15. About that....lol. I left the piece that flowed the outside air into the stock air cleaner box. My plan moving forward is to have a heat shield built, similar to others sent with aftermarket intakes or filters. I have a guy that is good at working with metal materials. I'd like to have a hole with rubber around it for the piece with air flowing in from the front and the same rubber to meet the hood as well. We'll see how it turns out.
  16. Black nail polish. I know it sounds crazy, but it works.
  17. I pieced together an air intake and primed and painted my original calipers. The intake was pretty easy. Items needed were the pipe, filter, coupler and hose clamp, and brass fitting for the small hose coming from the motor that was connected to the original air cleaner box. I went with a 3.5” pipe, coupler and clamp. Painting the calipers was easy. Take the wheels off, put a couple coats of VHT caliper primer on, and then a couple coats of VHT black caliper paint on the calipers and anything else you want to spray while your down there. Lol. I can honestly say, the caliper paint made a big difference visually.
  18. Thanks! The tires are 265/35 and the wheels have a +35 offset. @Steven Harshbarger
  19. @Armando G Just over $2000. I caught a deal on the wheels at $1688. I think the tires were $420.
  20. Thanks 2016Redline!
