Can anyone tell me what the hottest packaged Ramen is? I have been searching for it for a bit now. My uncle sent me something last year that was pretty hot and he told me there are a 2X and a 4X which makes me think it might have been Samyang, but I thought I remembered it being a purple wrapper. I bought a five pack of the pink wrapper hot chicken from Samyang, but haven't tried it yet.

Emart Dare You Habanero Ramen or Samyang 2x according to ramanerater

Sounds like you had this one which is milder than the most of the others from Samyang. Pink and Purple wrapper versions are claimed to be close in SHU. Both around 2600 to 2700.

The 4x is a myth according to ramenrater.

Just slurped a bowl of Shin Black spicy pot au fer ramen with leftover smoked brisket, brisket au jus, grilled onions and bell peppers from grilling steaks last night topped with a little sriracha.
The brisket transformed this into an awesome meal, it would've been better if I had green onions and cilantro.

I had a noodle craving and didn't plan ahead so I dug through the freezer and found a pack of rib tips I had saved from a few BBQ's. I then searched YouTube for something and ended up making a Pho. All I had was rice vermicelli noodles but it worked. The broth is dark from browning the meat using Dales sauce and adding soy to the broth. I cooked the broth for 3 hours last night and had soup for lunch with leftovers for another bowl. I did add all the normal players, ginger, green onions, bean sprouts, sliced onions, cilantro, shrooms, sriracha, hoisin and fish sauce.
I found this guy looking for pork soup recipes, he has some good videos but he eats like a horse. Watch him inhale this 2nd bowl on Dan Dan noodles. I think I'd choke to death trying that.

I bought some ramen bowls from Costco to try and they're not bad but for the price it's a small bowl.
It comes with real meat and veggies frozen, you just add water and nuke
I thought the noodles were a little soft but I could have cooked them too long in my microwave that cooks fast.
Look at that bowl, they cheated and made it smaller with the hump in the bottom.
That bowl made me hungry so I had to make one with the left over broth and a few added leftovers from Dan Dan soup last night. This was better with sliced smoked pork.

In my opinion, it's not worth hunting down spicy instant ramen; it's just not usually that good flavor-wise. Find a type of ramen you like and add your own hot sauce/diced peppers/whatever.
My favorite is Raoh. I don't know how common it is in other places, but if you can find or order it, definitely try it; best instant noodles I've found. I think the tan tan and tonkotsu flavors lend themselves best to this, but it's entirely up to taste, and whether you want to bother with the packets or not (though Raoh also does a particularly good job on that part).
To actually contribute...
A friend mentioned this to me, and I figured I had to at least try it; pretty bold claim, "Michelin Guide" instant ramen. Plus it's 7/11 brand, and I love the convenience store food here.
It was... just OK. Not as good as Raoh, but the veggies and the tiny bit of pork were a nice addition. I forgot to even check the price, though, so it's hard to say what kind of deal it was.
As far as the last restaurant ramen I had, this is from my last "holy crap that was a lot of booze" trip to a fast food ramen shop with the wife:
Yes, I was drunk, but even then I'm pretty sure it was better than passable. Quail eggs instead of chicken, so that felt kind of like skimping, but oh well.
There's a spicy tsukemen (dipping noodle) place I've been to a few times that's absolutely brilliant; I'd love to go back and get pictures for you guys, but it's only got three seats, and there's always a line around the corner (even and perhaps especially between 3 and 5 AM, but also during the lunch hour). It's an investment.
So here's a consolation prize from my favorite local place. Note the garlic press and bowls of garlic they leave out; definitely part of the reason I love this one.

Looks great 
If you like curry ramen then there are a couple that are fairly hot. Mostly from Singapore and Malaysia. Samyang curry chicken is fairly zippy too for Korean. Mykuali brand being the hottest ive tried in curry flavor. Its overall flavor though is great for cheap ramen. I still prefer the Prima Taste Singapore Curry Lamian but its rather expensive.
I went to the Asian store looking for that Raoh but they didn't have it, the guy said he'll order some. I picked up a few packs of Nongshim Black since I had a craving for noddles.
I just made a bowl and added last nights roasted chicken and potatoes for a filler with Sriracha and soy sauce. It's not bad for a quick meal.
I need to get back to making noodles again since the weather has cooled some.

Samyang jamppong flavor i think.....this one is all in Korean. This is really a kimchi and grill chop ramen though. I only used a tiny bit of the seasoning packet and all the dried veggie packet. Dash of oyster sauce and extra gochu powder.
Havent done curry noodles in awhile but i was craving them badly today.
Prima Taste Singapore Curry Lamian
1 roasted chicken leg quarter deboned.
Couple ounces of thin sliced red onion
About 20 fresh laksa leaves
Around another tsp of curry powder.
About 1/2 tsp of a Aleppo powder with just a little ghost powder in it.
Couple extra tsp of coconut cream powder
Splash of RedBoat
Fry the paste, curry powder and Aleppo powder for a couple minutes in a couple tsp of coconut oil. Dont need much because the paste is already oily. Add the red onion and cook for a couple more minutes. Poor in 2.5 cups of hot water and bring to a soft boil. Directions say 2 cups but with the additions it needs the extra water. Whisk in the coconut powder and seasoning packet until smooth. Add a dash of Redboat40n, the noodle block and chicken. Cook for 4-5min then add the laksa leaves. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes and turn off the heat. If the noodles are slightly too chewy just give them a couple minutes in the hot soup. They will be fine.
Prepare for a little sweat and enjoy.

Holy Sheet!!
This is the hottest ramen I've had yet. It has more of a lime flavor than curry but it's not bad for .59¢
And this has to be the best tasting cheap ramen on the market.
I had to eat a second pack after tasting it. I didn't realize how popular it was.
I can't believe this girl ate 6 packs and 5 eggs.

I've been busy, I started this post this morning and finally had time to finish it.
I made 2 packs of Indomie Mi Goreng and added left over brisket and eggs for supper last night.
This was a great "Steak and eggs" ramen!!!

I've been eating more ramen since the weather is cooler. Here's a bowl of Pho from this week with smoked beef shank and throw together veggies I had on hand. It turned out great considering this is the broth I made earlier this year and has been frozen.
I smoked a whole shank and ended up slicing it up to freeze for soups. It cooked long enough that the tendons are jelly, awesome tasting jelly!!!
What I'm really happy about is making Mie Goreng from scratch. I found these noodles for 3.99, this pack has 10 of these bricks and the noodles are good. One brick is more than a normal pack of ramen and a perfect serving size. I had to add more Asian stuff to the cabinet, this time it was mushroom soy sauce, sweet soy sauce and fried garlic.
This pic doesn't do the noodles justice or the serving size but it came out awesome for my taste.

My wife and I learned to make ramen pretty well after living in Japan for five years, now being back in America. (Yes, that is an Obi we're using as a table runner. >.>)
Living near Charleston there aren't many good ramen places. Moderate sushi places, but it's like most places consider nigiri to not be real sushi or something.
So we have to make our own. Fortunately there is:
1) Amazon
2) An asian store like 8 miles away or so.
Anywho, my wife specialized in making Spicy Miso Ramen, and I make a mean Shoyu Ramen.
I also traditionally am the one to make the chashu pork (I dunno why, I just like to) as well as the ajitsuke tomago (because I like pickling and my wife hates most things that are pickled...)
Noodles are J-Basket brand. Can't read half the labelling since I don't read kanji, katakana, or hiragana.
