Hood pins is the sexiest. In my opinion muffler delete just make your v8 sound like a goddamn civic. Stock or corsa are the best to keep a real v8 sound
KCars I’m very glad you agree! Yes hood pins really add a great touch I hope you end up doing it! If you don’t wanna drill into your hood there are adhesive hood pins you can get on amaz**.
As a detailer I say never forget your paint so....CERAMIC COAT it!!!! Quartz brand tho now there are easier spray on methods. 12 mo protection n nothing better for shine n depth.
Best part of living in the country, mid-muffler delete cost $60. Local shop did mine for $60 out the door, same day and took about 45 minutes and I got to watch.
Thats because you want that new new lol I prefer used just because of how marked up cars are these days. I couldnt see ever buying something new even if i were rich and could afford something like a lambo. just seems weird. but thats probably because of how i was raised. one mans trash is another mans treasure
@@Bananasmeow1 I feel the same way. I have a newer model Citadel, and i was going to get a 2015 to 2017 scatpack, but i ultimately decided to go late model srt 6.1. I can tune it up to my preference overtime and decide how much show or go I want
Glad your enjoying your car man! Try not to go all StreetSpeed with it until your a bonifide UA-cam baller! I know it's hard to stop once the ball gets rolling tho.
Hey KC! Excellent presentation, detailed, informative, and direct to the point. I like the fact that you also state that this is your opinion and you're open to additional suggestions. Thx! Dave
For looks and I have no clue why more don't do this on their challenger is the front Phantom cover grill , totally adds to the look of the car. They are $120 ( used to be $89) on Amazon, they are made of stainless square tube come in black but can be powder coated to change the color to match yer car ....looks awesome, takes literally 20 to put on
Very informative, love the video. Make more on other mods that you would like to do like how wide tire can fit, And turbo, or even. Changing headlights. And why the shaker vs other trim.
KCars wassup dude......ok....get this...tune for E-85 if you want to.... aluminum crank pulley's and aluminum driveshaft.... that alone frees up more horsepower from the motor, to the wheels due to less rotational weight mass....save up for a higher stall torque converter as well....then get some drag radials.... you'll need that because of the additional torque and power....if you do race at the track,.. over inflate your tires to 50/60 p.s.i...thats for less drag and your rear should be inflated to 16/22...play in that area,...I GUARANTEE you will put quite a few hurting on a lot of cars you didn't think you could..... TRUST ME.....09-300-C...SRT-8 BEAST.
KCars... mosdef lil bro....when u get rid of that heavy 2 piece driveshaft and those heavy crank pulleys....BIG DIFFERENCE IN TORQUE AND POWER....I DID IT AND KNOW FOR A FACT....your car will rev and pull like crazy dawg.... that's why it's very important to get drag radials because you'll simply shred and lose traction....BIG TIME....with regular street tires...then with the E-85 tune...that is allowing your car to burn and explode harder from the tune and no cat's that your exhaust is free from,... oh....check out getting a set of better plugs as well...I'll let you know the one's I have....if not...just keep it 93 and or go from there...your suspension maybe in question for later down the road that's why before you drag race anyone...deflat your rear tire pressure to 15/22 pounds for that... SERIOUS GRAB N GO....from off the line....I promise you lil bro...my word is real...you do that and smiles all day is what will show on your face...then its camaro/ mustang hunting time...mainly Ford....I hate them...yeah dawggy....do those mods...and I suscribed to your channel and want to see you post it up....do brother....you would not have wasted your time or money....only 5.0s
The first mod that I did on my srt8 Challenger was the pipes to and got rid of the huge resonators and mids, but replaced them with SLP loudmouths which consists of 2 open chamber racing bullets & 3" pipe straight out the back and are loud as hell. Then also got the billet tech shortly after and agree that it is a top priority 2 add. I'm really happy with the exhaust and it breathes so much better, plus they are quite a bit lighter than those huge suitcase style muffler/resonators were. And as heavy ask these big beautiful pigs are, that's a really good thing and will take the savings where I can get it. Did you ever get the Corsa set up yet ?, if not I would consider the SLPs because they are a lot less plus they are lighter than most aftermarket pipes, including Corsa because there's not much to them at all
KCars cool then you should check into the SLPs and think that you will really like them. I think that the Corsas sound great but the slps are ever every bit as nasty and about half the price, their worth looking into anyway
Good info. The constant pacing and bad framing hurts the production value though. You have a great backdrop and an amazing car-I say park the car at an angle relative to the backdrop, plop the camera on a tripod, stand or sit still and frame yourself on the left or right 3rd of the frame and let the car and backdrop dominate the rest. Maybe even have a tiny bit of DOF just to make the image look a little more polished. The lighting would still be rough though so you may want to position everything in the shade or shoot during the golden hours.
@@KCars Stickshift too 👌 those mods you laid out were perfect and had perfect reasoning to them. Especially about the oil catch can. Do you add a bit of oil after you clean it out to the engine to top off what was lost?
i went with ported 80mm TB cold air intake ripp high perf coil ngk plugs borla attack exhaust system oil catch can ported upper and lower intake manifold smoked out the tail lights and side panels debadged it
You already have a decent exhaust - cam & kit is in order of next. Should have done that with the headers, before the tune. Ask your Dyno guy what he would expect in HP increase for a corsa. Probably none.
Mike P not expecting any horsepower from the corsa xtreme just looking for a little more aggressive sound, and I’m looking into getting a cam sometime down the road!
Mike P hey I’m trying to get an exhaust but I’m not trying to get pulled over I just want a exhaust that’s not to loins but not soft like is there one a little softer than yours
@KCars, I have a serious question for you and your viewers. I noticed that the vast majority of Scat Pack Challengers on UA-cam are A8's, why? I'd be the first to admit that the A8 is an awesome transmission, and it is a little quicker, but you lose half of the driving experience compared to the M6, in my opinion, The M6 is no slouch either, the Tremec is used in many sports cars including the Viper. I've owned nothing but autos my whole life, but when I bought my '16 Scat Pack Challenger, I had to have the M6. After all, it is one of the last true muscle cars left. Mine has a Barton shifter (another must-have mod for the M6). At this stage of my life, I don't care if I'm a few tenths slower, it's all about the driving experience. No offense, but I think the paddle shifters are a bit of a gimmick unless you're racing on a road course. The A8 is smarter than the driver, it knows exactly when to shift depending on throttle input. Sorry to be so verbose, but inquiring minds want to know! Thanks.
Brian R I’m not really sure why I guess one reason could be because not everybody knows how to drive a manual. Another one could be that the autos are faster like you said. I agree that a manual car is a lot more fun to drive but some people probably just care more about being able to shift faster
I just got an rt plus shaker challenger with the automatic 8 speed. I've always had manual mustang's and Camaros but I wanted to try something different this time and in Atlanta traffic it is nice. If it didn't have the paddle shifters I probably wouldn't have gotten the A8, the paddles in the mountains will be nice.
Tip from a V6 guy: If you drive an SXT, do not delete the mid mufflers. It sounds like SHIT. Delete the rear ones instead. Doesn't sound like a V8 (and never will) but it sounds much better than the reverse.
I hope you wouldn't mind answering a question I have about manual shifting,I bought a 2018 Challenger 6.4L Scat in Destroyer grey a little over a week ago and the other day I was approaching a red light at 35mph to 40mph and intentionally bumped the console shifter into manual mode, indicator shows I'm in 5th gear, so I do a double bump to grab 3rd but the trans drops down to 1st and the RPMs crank, not the end of the world except for looking real stupid and being hard on a new engine.I'm sure it was an error on my part but would like to know what it is that I did wrong.My question is: if you hold the shifter forward without letting it return to center does it downshift once or will it shift all the way to 1st?ThanksNice Vids by the wayDavid
I think I may have held it in forward position like you would when shifting a manual 5 speed. might be a hard habit for me to break - old and set in my ways.thanks
lot335 yes if hold it forward.. for a while it just switch all the way down to 1st... and if you hold it for a bit as well it will just send u back to normal mode ..
catch can is #1 not 2 or 3. that's number 1. want to sound better? I say drive WOT more often. Then tires and better brake pads; then hit the track. BF Goodrich for tires, Stoptech for brake pads; tried them all; been messing around for 5 years with this. Headers are required when running NA with a bigger cam and ported heads, otherwise not worth the value. great videos and great work though; keep up the good work. A custom tune of course, and run the challenger without ABS and traction control. this is where the fun begins. just sayin'
I don’t think you would fail just from the headers. You would fail if you got catless midpipes but you can get midpipes with sport cats and you should be good I think. I don’t have emissions testing where I live so I’m not sure on that
I have trouble getting mine in reverse for some reason. It’s a six speed stick. I have to put in 4 Th and play with it and I don’t understand why. If you or any of your readers have any idea it would help me It’s a 2018 RT Scat with 328 miles
First should be oil catch can. (4) I wouldn't mess with the mid mufflers or resonators, without one or the other it sounds raspy and at high rpms it can sound hideous. If you want LOUD install exhaust dumps for the natural deep sound of the 392 and you can close them depending on the situation. If you're on a budget you can install MFER-1 mods on the active exhaust which keeps the butterflies wide open at all times. (2) Z Automotive Taser, you can do sooo much shit with it. (5) Headers are good if you can afford them. (3) Tinting the tail lights and rear reflectors would would be at the top of my list as well, inexpensive and look great.
I don’t know any in New Jersey but if it’s not too far I’d definitely recommend OST Dyno near Pittsburgh, that’s where I went to get the headers installed and a dyno tune, one of the best in the world!
Im not a huge fan of the sound after you put headers on there.. IMO it sounds better with just the mid's cut off. Personally, I'd say some aesthetics need to be done.. My 5.7 is red like yours, but I have some of the retro stripes (bumble bee stripe on the rear) Satin black roof, and on the hood (cowl or vents or whatever) not the entire hood. You know these cars have a million different styles/designs for stripes / pin stripes / ghost patterns.. and red/black looks amazing out here.. Havent seen any of your newer vids to see where you're at with it now, but just know when I originally watched this... it was part of my inspiration for getting the red chally too..
Felipe Lobos' different people like different sounds, I was going for the super loud in your face sound and I also wanted to gain some power. And I agree I’ve been thinking about getting a black stripe on the sides of the trunk like some of them come stock with. I’ve also added some cosmetic stuff like a diffuser, side skirts, and rock guards. I have videos about all of those mods if you wanna check them out! And that’s awesome that I inspired you to also get a red RT! Thanks for the support!
@@KCars Yea i feel you 100% bro.. I'll def. check out more of your vids, I don't mind supporting.. I'll also give you a follow on IG. It's been a while since I've been on here. Keep building your ride, and hopefully i'll be in a scat pack, or SRT within the next 2 years!
Awesome Kcars 《☆》You've already done more road racing in Your Chally than most haters have in whatever pos they might be driving. If You go lower on ride height You will most likely have some clearance issues with long tubes. Airbags are more expensive but seem to work well other than the added weight, interior noise from compressors & the co$t of installtion & longterm ownership ☻
Actually I was buying it online, a 2012 toxic orange R/T but now they’re pushing my delivery date back for the third time so I’m looking around to see my options
Andrew Cerreta no the midpipes replace the stock midpipes when you get long tube headers. Since the length of the headers is longer, you have to get shorter midpipes so they will fit. The mid mufflers are separate from the midpipes, they are part of the catback. Go to a shop that does exhaust and they can cut out the mufflers and replace them with straight pipe
It does if you paid for extended. Don't believe anyone in the comments. Call Dodge if you like, they will tell you the same thing, it voids the warranty. The standard warranty will only void the exhaust, and any problem linked to altering it. If you paid for extended coverage, Mopar does not actually sell you a warranty, it's an "extended service contract." This does not fall under warranty law, they are good about honoring it but any dumb mods that can hurt the car, or if they find you've got it up too fast a speed, anything and they void your "warranty."
Not a fan of mid muffler delete or any cuts on the stock exhaust. It will ruin your car in the next few years. Any full performance exhaust makes your car sounds like a beast and I will recommend Borla. But any of that like your videos man.
@faithful The law state's a consumer can use replacement aftermarket parts without voiding a warranty. A mid muffler delete is technically removing a part entirely. However they would also need to prove the damage was caused by your mod to void a warranty and it would only be specific to that. For example. If you slap on NOS and your head unit dies. One has nothing to do with the other. If you slap on NOS and you blow your fucking engine. Well. Good bye warranty.
Damn bro !! That's impressive ! I heard you could get gains with bbk shorty headers as well. Just not sure which one youd get more gains from. Do you happen to know ?
My 2009 SRT8 has a reso delete and it sounds nice, especially during hard acceleration. It does have a bit of a drone to it, which I dont mind, but the wife hates it, lol.
Hey friend, I have a question. Have you ever had your headers retightened after they were installed? If so, how often? Also, can retightening be accessed from under the hood without going underneath? Thanks.
I really like how you get straight to the point and stick to the topic. Also well edited clips bro. Thanks for the great video
oh ya, subscibed!
Thanks for the support!
True that thats how videos should be looks more professional too
Your Mom thanks!
Yes my thoughts exactly
Can't ever go wrong with the mid muffler delete. Especially for the cost and the sound gain.
Burnseys RT definitely at the top of the list!
Hey I have 2018 challenger rt should I get oil catch can also
yeah but what about emissions tests?
Yeah but if you got a V6 that's not enough lol
The mid mufflers don’t affect emissions
my first 10 mods were mostly cosmetic they are
1 - Tazer from Z Automotive (Cause track mode is nice)
2 - WIndow Tint
3 - Oil Catch Can
4 - Swapped Mid Mufflers for Dynomax Mini Race Bullets
5 - 20x10.5 rims with 315/35/20 tires for the rear
6 - Installed the larger SRT paddle shifters
7 - Red SRT start/stop button
8 - Tail light tint and head light tint
9 - Scat Pack Badge for steering wheel to cover the dodge logo
10 - SRT Powered Bee Badge from BJsGarage570
Street Shaker 702 good list of mods!
any clearance issues with the 20x10.5's?
I think hood pins are pretty awesome for that old school muscle look!
Truth Teller I agree!
Hood pins is the sexiest. In my opinion muffler delete just make your v8 sound like a goddamn civic. Stock or corsa are the best to keep a real v8 sound
KCars I’m very glad you agree! Yes hood pins really add a great touch I hope you end up doing it! If you don’t wanna drill into your hood there are adhesive hood pins you can get on amaz**.
Btw I think your mid muffler delete and headers make an awesome sound!
Truth Teller thanks!
Good video and informative! I just got a '19 r/t plus. Cant wait to start throwing in some mods.
Steven Tyrrell thanks! And have fun with it!
Thank you. You were well spoken and straight to the point. The before and after comparisons were very helpful. Good job.

Great vid man, I'm watching this because I've come to the realization that I can't afford the Scat Pack so I'm looking at RTs.
Southie thanks! An RT will still be a lot of fun!
just save up a bit longer and you can afford one. they are only like 4-5k more then the rt's. i just bought my scat pack the other day. :D
Colin Newman idk man I got my 2020 RT for 31 nd allllll the scats here (NC) are between 44-51k depending if you get widebody or not
Thats because you want that new new lol I prefer used just because of how marked up cars are these days.

well thought out video.
Thanks!
Dose any of these mods void your warranty?
FREEFORM LOCS the unlocked pcm does and the other mods void the warranty if they caused the problem
So is it a good idea to delete my mufflers and leave the Resonators
I hope I said that right I’m green to all this shit(new)
FREEFORM LOCS yeah I’d say that’s a good idea
I have a 08 Dodge challenger srt8, and i want switch to long tube headers, but.... i would failed the emission test from what i looked up
I don’t think you would fail just from the headers. You would fail if you got catless midpipes but you can get midpipes with sport cats and you should be good I think. I don’t have emissions testing where I live so I’m not sure on that
I have trouble getting mine in reverse for some reason. It’s a six speed stick. I have to put in 4 Th and play with it and I don’t understand why. If you or any of your readers have any idea it would help me
It’s a 2018 RT Scat with 328 miles
First should be oil catch can. (4) I wouldn't mess with the mid mufflers or resonators, without one or the other it sounds raspy and at high rpms it can sound hideous. If you want LOUD install exhaust dumps for the natural deep sound of the 392 and you can close them depending on the situation. If you're on a budget you can install MFER-1 mods on the active exhaust which keeps the butterflies wide open at all times. (2) Z Automotive Taser, you can do sooo much shit with it. (5) Headers are good if you can afford them. (3) Tinting the tail lights and rear reflectors would would be at the top of my list as well, inexpensive and look great.
Brian R good list!
Brian nice list. However, I got the mid mufflers deleted on my 392 and when I really step on the gass it sounds absolutely wonderful.
I like those mods I'll try some of them Thanks nice car I just Subscribed
Frank Angiolo thanks!
Mine will be Catch Can, tint, Borla Atak exhaust , etc
Awesome, that’ll be good
Do you have a cold air intake?
Yes I have the stock mopar one
180 thermostat is a must and easy.
Sambo And The Bee I’ll have to look into that, thanks!
@@KCars also a custom tune.
Sambo And The Bee I have a custom dyno tune but I agree that would be a good idea!
@@KCars Good, but after the thermostat you need your fans adjusted.
Bro did you feel after installing them that the fuel finished faster?
No
Can you recommend any tune shops in New Jersey my friend?
I don’t know any in New Jersey but if it’s not too far I’d definitely recommend OST Dyno near Pittsburgh, that’s where I went to get the headers installed and a dyno tune, one of the best in the world!
Im not a huge fan of the sound after you put headers on there.. IMO it sounds better with just the mid's cut off. Personally, I'd say some aesthetics need to be done.. My 5.7 is red like yours, but I have some of the retro stripes (bumble bee stripe on the rear) Satin black roof, and on the hood (cowl or vents or whatever) not the entire hood. You know these cars have a million different styles/designs for stripes / pin stripes / ghost patterns.. and red/black looks amazing out here..
Havent seen any of your newer vids to see where you're at with it now, but just know when I originally watched this... it was part of my inspiration for getting the red chally too..
Felipe Lobos' different people like different sounds, I was going for the super loud in your face sound and I also wanted to gain some power. And I agree I’ve been thinking about getting a black stripe on the sides of the trunk like some of them come stock with. I’ve also added some cosmetic stuff like a diffuser, side skirts, and rock guards. I have videos about all of those mods if you wanna check them out! And that’s awesome that I inspired you to also get a red RT! Thanks for the support!
@@KCars Yea i feel you 100% bro.. I'll def. check out more of your vids, I don't mind supporting.. I'll also give you a follow on IG. It's been a while since I've been on here.
Keep building your ride, and hopefully i'll be in a scat pack, or SRT within the next 2 years!
Awesome Kcars 《☆》You've already done more road racing in Your Chally than most haters have in whatever pos they might be driving. If You go lower on ride height You will most likely have some clearance issues with long tubes. Airbags are more expensive but seem to work well other than the added weight, interior noise from compressors & the co$t of installtion & longterm ownership ☻
Hey just reading through some old comments and realized I never replied. Appreciate the support and hope you’ve been well!
“I want to be obnoxious” 😂😂😂
🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
@@KCars I dig the honesty, straight to the point and great video! I’m just getting into Challengers, my first one arrives next week!
Thanks! Which one did you end up getting?
Actually I was buying it online, a 2012 toxic orange R/T but now they’re pushing my delivery date back for the third time so I’m looking around to see my options
@@nathanherren6708 ahh dang ya it can always be a struggle when having to wait for a car delivery
hey bro do you mind linking me to all the mods such as headers and catless mid pipe and etc? if not it’s all good I just want to get the right stuff 👍

KCars thank you, I appreciate it👍
KCars and so the mid pipes basically go in replace of the mid mufflers correct?
Andrew Cerreta no the midpipes replace the stock midpipes when you get long tube headers. Since the length of the headers is longer, you have to get shorter midpipes so they will fit. The mid mufflers are separate from the midpipes, they are part of the catback. Go to a shop that does exhaust and they can cut out the mufflers and replace them with straight pipe
KCars great. will do, and i’m guessing after headers I will need a tune such as dyno tune correct?
Sounds dope
Monster Mash thanks
1st mod, drop it! Get Eibach lowering kit. Gets rid of that gap
Thought about that but I don’t wanna worry about scraping any more than I already do
@@KCars oh, I see
What type of exhaust do you have
TheRealFlipStar kooks long tube headers, catless midpipes, mid muffler delete
Had a 2018 challenger rt should I get an oil catch can also
James Dent yes
Well car is still under warranty an putting oil catcher on that's not made by mopar wouldn't that cancel my warranty
James Dent I doubt it but if anything it would have to cause the issue for it to void the warranty
Would the mid muffler delete void the warranty?
Nolan Lang it would void the exhaust warranty I believe
It does if you paid for extended. Don't believe anyone in the comments. Call Dodge if you like, they will tell you the same thing, it voids the warranty. The standard warranty will only void the exhaust, and any problem linked to altering it. If you paid for extended coverage, Mopar does not actually sell you a warranty, it's an "extended service contract." This does not fall under warranty law, they are good about honoring it but any dumb mods that can hurt the car, or if they find you've got it up too fast a speed, anything and they void your "warranty."
Bro i think i did the same with the midd muffler i took them off and put a straight pipe but didnt get a big difference why ?
Not sure why if you did the same thing, maybe you were just expecting more
@@KCars ok bro there is any step 2 ? For increasing it but not in a very loud way
@@abdullahfahad2432 hmmm maybe just a mild catback would work if you’re not looking for anything super loud
Not a fan of mid muffler delete or any cuts on the stock exhaust. It will ruin your car in the next few years. Any full performance exhaust makes your car sounds like a beast and I will recommend Borla. But any of that like your videos man.
Only thing I can think of is an exhaust leak which I haven’t had at all within 3 years of getting the mid muffler delete. And thanks!
“It will ruin your car in the next few years” this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard
Will this affect your warranty
48205 Faithful I think if the mod caused the problem then yes but I’m not too sure on that
@faithful The law state's a consumer can use replacement aftermarket parts without voiding a warranty. A mid muffler delete is technically removing a part entirely. However they would also need to prove the damage was caused by your mod to void a warranty and it would only be specific to that. For example. If you slap on NOS and your head unit dies. One has nothing to do with the other. If you slap on NOS and you blow your fucking engine. Well. Good bye warranty.
@@respond_code3 great explanation. Thank you.
Wow that's high, My mid delete was only $50
Ya different places charge different amounts, I just wanted to make sure I was getting quality work
How about a custom cold 🥶 air intake 😅😮😅
The shaker trim actually came with a mopar cold air intake from the factory so I didn’t change it
If I delete my mid muffler will it Void my warranty?
Hell Yea I think it’ll void only the warranty on the exhaust
Thanks for the swift responds! I enjoy your video!
Hell Yea thanks for watching!
You have a new subscriber. I have a 2018 challenger TA 392. Your exhaust sounds bad ass.
Hell Yea that’s awesome! Thanks!
You look like young Boomhauer
Ryan James thanks!
Can 315s fit on the rear tires??
jason guzman not on the stock wheels, and it will most likely rub a little if you get the right size wheels to fit 315s
Mods List:
1) Mid-muffler and resonator delete.
Result: modifies exhaust sound.
2) Oil catch can.
Result: removes burned oil from recycling.
3) Long tube headers and mid-pipes with custom Dyno tune-up.
Result: increases performance and exhaust chorus.
🙌🏻
why do ppl go with long tube headers and not short on the 6.4 ?
The sound I guess
@@KCars what about hp ? No difference?
Huss 48 HP increase. You can check out my review video I did of the headers
Damn bro !! That's impressive ! I heard you could get gains with bbk shorty headers as well. Just not sure which one youd get more gains from. Do you happen to know ?
Huss no I’m not sure
Good video
jason croucher thanks!
But you got a shaker, so you missed the cold air + TB +spacer
I believe the shaker package includes the mopar cold air intake. I think they all come with the same throttle body
How do you know so much about cars but nothing about plastic containers?
🤷🏼♂️
how did u afford that car
The reso delete is better....
My 2009 SRT8 has a reso delete and it sounds nice, especially during hard acceleration. It does have a bit of a drone to it, which I dont mind, but the wife hates it, lol.
My 2012 SRT challenger is reso delete. Sounds good getting on it but at about 2200 RPM it sounds like I got 18 inch subs in the back. Lol
Is your warranty dead now bro ?
Yes I believe so
Catch can is the first best mod bro
Mid muffler deletes sound so bad. All rasp, no tone. Always get mids and delete the resonators.
I don’t think I’ve ever actually heard what it sounds like with only the rear resonators deleted
Whoa
Top three easily should be front and rear struts
I really want one the catch can that is not sure about the install
Twinakafootwurk Matthew I have an install tutorial if you wanna check that out on my channel!
Cold air intake
That’s a good one as well. Mine actually came with the stock mopar cold air intake
Smart kid.. does not give all the details in 1 vid... makes 1 piece of content into many.
Rodney Smith 💯
Tires. Nothing else needs to be said.
Sounds about right
Although, I have many other mods on mine. Love your Kooks headers video and now I’m looking to install them too.
@@deepblue2968 thank you! Definitely a good mod as well
Hey friend, I have a question. Have you ever had your headers retightened after they were installed? If so, how often? Also, can retightening be accessed from under the hood without going underneath? Thanks.
@@deepblue2968 I personally did not have mine retightened
Nice reading🤓
J G I don’t think I was reading in this video
Yeah like anyone should listen to a guy who didn’t know the difference between his muffler and resonators lol
Texas Owl at least I’m not an owl
disappointing video, show more stuff, stop talking to camera
Andriy Misuyrak no
