Imagine taking the time to watch a video about cars owned by other people just to turn around and be mad about their choices. This covid sh!t has given people way too much free time. I use these videos for ideas. The way its meant to be. Keep up the good work man.
It's been that way for years. I got into cars/modding/message boards/etc. in 2006 and every single thing he pointed out in this video was talked about then. And I was into Mustangs. Didn't matter. Even stuff not covered here hasn't changed. Bolt ons vs FI, "built" vs "bought", "budget builds" (they don't exist), rims & tires. People even argued about damn oil. It is what it is I guess.
Nothing wrong with My caliper covers! They are cosmetic like chrome delete or side marker light covers! Im sure y’all drink your Dr. Pepper with your little pinkies high in the air! 😂
Honestly your build desperately needs a big break kit man. You've got a lot of power and no stopping power I hope you invest in a Wildwood big brake kit.
Got two of these… the pedal commander and the throttle body spacer.. LOVE both. The pedal commander throttle response is insane! It’s Annoying when people talk crap about power not realizing it isn’t advertised for power, but THROTTLE RESPONSE. And the throttlebody spacer… Love that as well. Makes a very nice consistent whistle sound. And of course an added bonus to increase the length of airflow relieving pressure from the air intake manifold, and allowing better air combustion for the engine. Worth the money!
There are SOOO many cars and trucks that i can appreciate the time and skill it took to make them run and look the way they did, while absolutely never wanting that for myself. I absolutely love the barn find patina look and retro styling, but i can appreciate a wrapped/on bags vehicle while NEVER wanting one for myself. Everyone just do you, and remember, who cares what others think if you enjoy it.
Lol the fact that’s there’s people out there that hate wraps. Never even knew that was a thing. Never heard of a throttle spacer either. All in all people gotta stop being so sensitive.
Glad to hear some of the other options are getting better results. When pedal commander came out with the blue tooth version it began giving people issues.
Wraps look good if done right....also I did my wrap with the purpose to protect my paint, so when I decide to remove the wrap the paint will look brand new
The throttle body spacer has been around forever. I "think" it was an adaption from the carburetor spacers, which actually did kind of work for air/fuel mixing. But we don't run carburetors anymore, so yes, giant paper weight. I like a loud car, truly. I wish mine was louder. I don't particularly love the raspy straight pipe. I want to see if I can find a decent glasspack. I had them on my 74 Duster. Loved that sound. Wraps are cool. Badging depends on the badge. Upbadging sucks. I think some other honorable mentions, CAI. It's just not a great mod for the money. A few hundred bucks for no HP gains worth. Just not a smart mod. The exhaust whistles to make your car "sound" like a turbo. LOL Those people.... lol.
I was going to add CAI, Shorty headers & tire letters - there are a lot of upgrades that get people arguing in the comments. Either way - all in the name of fun!
Cai are good when you add other mods like a for ex. Better manifold, better exhaust, or even a turbo. CAI alone actually take away low end torque but add high end hp (sometimes, sometimes they do absolutly nothing). But also the sound. I love the sound of em lmao. To each their own.
I love my Roar Pedal and the difference it has made for my throttle response by preventing the lagging response my Challenger had before installing it👍!
The pedal commander is a good buy if you want instant get up and go without ruining your warranty by installing a bigger throttle body. It doesn’t give your car extra hp. Your car just responds instantly. Throttle spacer does nothing and straight piping or deletes, I’ve heard mixed results. Some say there are no gains while others notice a small gain.
I watch & learn from your channel every upload! Love it! But I have an 07' Charger SRT8 & I have it straight piped, throttle spacer, & added emblems but didn't go too crazy with it.

For my '19 Scatpack Challenger, I installed a good oil catch can kit, the Hellcat airbox, air-grabber inlet screens, truck pull-straps, and changed the interior incandescent lamps to LEDs. I like the stock exhaust sound just fine and feel no need to change it. The metallic paint looks great and I have no desire to cover it up. While I think some wraps look kinda cool, whenever I see stripes, I tend to think the owner is pretending to be a race-car driver. I mean like a grown-ass adult thinks he's Speed Racer or something.

Just found out from 15' and up, the drive shaft center support bearing is non serviceable on the Charger and Challenger! So $780 for an OEM or $950 for a one piece aluminium drive shaft.......guess which one I went with!! Lol
The center support bearing, bushing, and hanger used to be able to be replaced when they went bad without replacing the drive shaft. That changed in the 2015+ models, I can't even find a part number for the bearing anywhere! So rather than spend $770 for a new OEM 2 piece drive shaft just because a $30 bearing went bad, I spent $950 on an all aluminium one piece shaft. It's like 20lbs lighter, reducing rotational mass, and will eliminate that issue for ever.
@@theslayer10875 That's very strange. I'll see if I can find some photos to better understand it. Edit: Ok, I see. That driveshaft can't articulate in the center? It's a rigid shaft with that support? Ugh, and you have to drop the exhaust to get to it. Man, I see why you'd opt for the one-piece.
@Cautionary Tale Harris, EXACTLY!! Thank god I just did my exhaust a few months ago and hadn't welded anything yet(I was waiting till I was totally happy with the sound) Just a couple bolts and it drops right down.
Some people don’t realize some of these are just to improve response, not performance. Cosmetics is up to the owner, i like seeing custom raps because i can see the owner’s personality. If you want performance, go for the big three. 1.Boost 2.Displacement 3.N/A mods (CAI,Tune,Cam,gears, etc.)
I honestly laughed at most of these. It's so petty if you are on either side for the cosmetic ones. The performance ones likely give you varying results depending on use case. Either way, with the epa cracking down on things, we really shouldn't be beating each other down over what a person did with their car. Unless they do street takeovers, then I will fight you.
You forgot oil catch cans! Lol 😁 I think Big Blue is looking awesome and you're doing a fantastic job on here with your videos! Thanks for sharing your journey!
I have the Roar pedal. I love that thing. The punch it give is great. I especially love it of heavy traffic when people are trying to jump in front of me. Being able to get rid of that lag is awesome. Thanks for the video. Oh I curse you out if I were your neighbor lololololol sound and looks 👍🏾
I had a kid tell me that I had fake badging on my car trying to tell me it was just a hellcat 😂Meanwhile looking at his car he had a hellcat badge on his it was only a six cylinder I could tell by the The front calibers 🤦♂️👍
You definitely nailed the big 5! I get a lot of the same depending on what I am reviewing as well. That's the thing with YOUR car, you can do what you want and who cares what everyone else thinks. 😂
@@12gaugehemi46 I only have straight pipe(muffler delete),a diablo sport tuner, and cold air intake on my 2013 5.7 Turned it into a whole new animal!! Supercharger is on my wish list but $$$
Cold air intakes have been shown to work, but with supporting modifications and tuning. Can’t just toss a CAI on a stock car and expect any performance gains.
I see the science in a throttle response. There is a fixed time on when it goes full open, so adding something to lessen that time may “feel” Like greater hp but it just gets to the top quicker maybe. I also have a wrap on my charger. The biggest reason is to protect the the paint. There are rock chips on the wrap that would be in my paint if it was not there.
I have a Slingshot. I just bought the Pedal Commander but I did so based on conversation with other Slingshot owners with them installed. It wasn’t very much money and it purports to increase low end torque off the line. Either from a dead stop or exiting out of a corner, that’s what I want. I’ll let you know.
@ the end of the day it is your car and as long as you are happy with your choices in mods who cares what the haters have to say... just give them another bottle of HaterADE...
On my Audi S6 4.0. Its twin turbo and the lag is crazy....i put a pedal commander and instantly took away the lag. Better drivinb experience...car is already 600hp so i just wanted better throttle response
Got the spacer, had the peddle commander, makes a difference, wish I could have straight pipe, but when your renting, not a good idea, lol instead have Magnaflow Cats. An Flowmaster exhaust, Darn I wish, I had gone for Magnaflow Exhaust, way way better. Got short headers, guys girls don't, get the long headers. Lol if your pocket book can allow it, of course. Great Simple Sweet Video. You da man
I would love to see your mod schedule on what you have done. And if you would have changed mods or schedule. I have finally started modding my 11 Challenger R/T.
I get tons of compliments on my 5.7 Challenger almost everyday. I have a mid muffler delete with Race Bullets and a Throttle body spacer installed lmao. In sport mode, the engine screams with that throttle body spacer. I dislike the farting noise my exhaust makes when shifting in high speeds tho. My plan in the future is to do a Borla Attak with short headers and airbag suspension.
Hey R/T life I was looking at your old videos about changing the bumper for circular tips and was wondering which clamps did you use to put it in and how did you put circular tips in (i have carven exhaust tips)
There's nothing wrong with straight piping imo. Most people prefer that than spending expensive custom exhaust systems. I've seen and heard MANY straight piped Mopars and its impressed and it's more fun. It doesn't matter about what other people think. It matters if YOU are happy with it.
I've got a muffler and resonator delete on my 5.7l 300c. I love how it sounds tbh but I still have my factory cats. Only thing about it I cant stand is when the MDS kicks in and shuts down 4 cylinders. The drone from that is annoying. Its quiet at highway speeds when the MDS isn't engaged and sounds amazing when I punch the throttle. But my fix for this issue will be a Diablosport tuner. Will be ordering 1 next week.
Me personally, I love the sound of a good torquey v8 (straight piped or not). But I do have an issue with the fact that cars and trucks have to abide by noise ordinance and motorcycles are completely exempt from it, and alot of them are just obnoxious. None of mine and my wifes vehicles are fly-by-wire (sold my '10 dakota so we could financially afford moving to AZ from OR), so no pedal commander for me.
Liked the video! ... I think the throttle controller mod is a loved mod... It's easy to do and does exactly what it advertises. Every video I've seen on it gets alot of love and very few that hate and those that hate are ones that have never tried it. Imho, it doesn't belong on this hate list just based on what I've encountered. Who doesn't like to get what you pay for? With this mod you definitely do! Just my 2 cents.
on badging. on my 2020 Daytona 392, when i start the car the infotainment screen says SRT, when i shut the car off it says SRT, the motor says Powered by SRT, i have the SRT performance pages. the only thing missing is well the SRT badging. i am against putting an SRT badge on it, however a SRT powered or Powered by SRT badge is just facts...
I see you have an oil catch can , I got a 5.7 I haven’t done the conversion to the 392 intake manifold yet but I’m wondering if you’re using a 5.7 intake manifold catch can or the 6.4 intake manifold catch can ( any help on this would be greatly appreciated ) because I don’t know if I should order the JLT 5.7 or there 6.4 variant ( it’s probably common sense but I just want to be on the safe side )
It's your money spend it like you want, I feel if they don't help you make the payments or insurance it shouldn't matter what they say, it's all about what you like, but no matter what you do you will never please people, and we shouldn't worry about it.
yah I've def learned that, can't make everyone happy. No matter what you do, there is always someone that will trash what you have. But like you said - it's your money, spend it & enjoy the hobby as you see fit.
I would do the pedal commander, spacer is the gain worth the price? That's the question, idk. Badges I feel like you can debadge or rebadge, for instance I have a 5.7 I'm putting on a 345 badge. I don't see the difference between an R/T scat pack and an SRT 392. Do a few mods and it's the same thing, hate me if you want. Wraps make it your own or keep it stock there shouldn't be an argument over that. And pipes mine is straight piped I love it, but I can't wait to get the xmod from magnaflow.
My most hated mod it the upbadging. I own a 16 Challenger Scat Pack and I am proud of what I own and would never want to try and pass her off as a hellcat or Demon. Just because you don't have or can't afford the biggest or baddest trim line dosen't mean you should be fake. If it's an SXT, GT, RT or Scat Pack. Be proud of what you own. The Challenger and Charger models have the best body lines and best motor options of any of the modern muscle cars and we don't need to be fake about what we have. Let the Ford and Chevy guys do that.......
Big difference when the badge suggests it has twice the power vs a wider stance. Considering ever Jeep out there gets flares and a change in stance and nobody cares.
Simple resonator delete as a small cheap mod is definitely the way to go, these hemi’s purr nicely and well full straight pipe has an acquired taste for sure I’m not knocking it at all but I do think you actually loose power doing straight pipe cause hemi’s need that back pressure
I gained HP, on Stock Tune by cutting the Mufflers. Modern Combustion Engines do not need Back Pressure to Make power. If It was a V6 then Maybe, but a 8cyl not so much. Mufflers, and Cats, are designed to restrict Airflow..... Not Produce Pressure. The Pressure is a side effect. But that's not the intention of the design, so the Motor does not "Need" Pressure just to run, it needs AIRFLOW. That's why you gain power from Headers, which are not known to produce Pressure.
Have a Pedal Comander on my 20 T/A...love it. Of course no power but the response it great. I also deleted my resonators after a few weeks of a cat back MF exhaust. I love the growl and the pops!
I have a procharger, pistons, headers of a jeep 2020 6.2. Fits most hemi. All new. Can't do the build anymore. It's an f1. Gonna drop it for 2500. Great deal. Have a great weekend. Sorry if this is shitty. Trying to get the word out. Located in ny long Island.
@@RTLife I don’t even understand what happened everything was going fine then one day I got a check engine light & the car just started acting ridiculous!
people hate on wraps simply because instead of putting a good $1500+ on performance they put it toward looking good. dont get the hate when people enjoy being unique
Isnt it great to live in a free and democratic society and the freedom of personal choice is upheld, i was almost personally offended by this then i grew a pair. Once again excellent vid bloke. Cheers
Do not want to sound negative, but it would.... that red spacer, as it looks like - should bring zero effect. Looks same as blue spacer with vent inside (priced $10.00 in Walmart online / Amazon). I am pro-mods in general, but if my neighbor had a straight-pipe exhaust, it probably would his last mode, since he will constantly will repair scratches and other cosmetic money consuming things. More to this - majority of people do modds and they happy and proud of them, enjoying themselves and make other smile. But some people, with any upgrade getting the "racing mode" and simple drive irresponsibly - fast, loud, unpredictable.
on my 2015 civic 1.8 r18 with the cvt, a throttle body spacer made a great difference at low and mid rpm!! its night and day. i coupled that with peddle commander? yah. whole new beast. so i disagree. plus, you really notice more gains on smaller engines
You forgot abt the lip guards.😆 I wouldn’t necessarily call these mods or real mods but they’re all def ridiculous. The pedal commander is fun but it just changes the throttle response but it might feel like you’re getting more power only cause you’re getting the power you already have much faster. The badging kills me and even though everyone does it, mopar wins that one. It’s not a problem when you’re just changing the badge color or changing it from 5.7 to 345, as long as it’s the right badge for the right model. But when you got guys putting SRT, Hellcat,and Scat badges on their v6s or 5.7s, it’s a joke. Or when you got 5 different badges on your car and not one of them is your car. I seen a guy other day with a RT 5.7 with 392 badges on fenders, Hellcat logo, and a scatpack badge on the trunk lid. I wanted to scream at him for making us look like assholes. How is your car a 6.2 and a 6.4? Or the guy who’s got his name all over the car like yo is that a 392. Has it on fenders, windows, grille, trunk, and tires. The exhaust thing is funny too cause it’s almost like a contest to see who can have the loudest most obnoxious sounding car so they run straight stock pipe, no headers, no high flow cats, no mid mufflers, no resonators, no catback!. All drone! No performance! Oh and all of that with same old stock wheels with 245s and cool caliper covers that say brembo on them! 😩
Let me know what you guys think!
I with the resonators and muffler delete can be a bit much when running no cats but to a point that's what I'm running on my 06 MagSrt8 with the exception of ARH long tubes and BBK high flow cats

Some people don’t realize some of these are just to improve response, not performance. Cosmetics is up to the owner, i like seeing custom raps because i can see the owner’s personality. If you want performance, go for the big three.
1.Boost
2.Displacement
3.N/A mods (CAI,Tune,Cam,gears, etc.)
I believe that this rivalry is pointless. It's like quarreling with someone, who likes burgers but hates sushi, while your tastes are opposite.
I honestly laughed at most of these. It's so petty if you are on either side for the cosmetic ones. The performance ones likely give you varying results depending on use case. Either way, with the epa cracking down on things, we really shouldn't be beating each other down over what a person did with their car. Unless they do street takeovers, then I will fight you.
You forgot oil catch cans! Lol 😁 I think Big Blue is looking awesome and you're doing a fantastic job on here with your videos! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Closing on 100k. Keep it up buddy! Great content as always.
yah almost there. def a big time milestone! Thanks man
I have the Roar pedal. I love that thing. The punch it give is great. I especially love it of heavy traffic when people are trying to jump in front of me. Being able to get rid of that lag is awesome. Thanks for the video. Oh I curse you out if I were your neighbor lololololol sound and looks 👍🏾
throttle response makes a massive difference, def understand what you mean. Keep on enjoying it!
I had a kid tell me that I had fake badging on my car trying to tell me it was just a hellcat 😂Meanwhile looking at his car he had a hellcat badge on his it was only a six cylinder I could tell by the The front calibers 🤦♂️👍
hahaha - crazy world we're living in!
😂
You definitely nailed the big 5! I get a lot of the same depending on what I am reviewing as well. That's the thing with YOUR car, you can do what you want and who cares what everyone else thinks. 😂
Kinda off topic but how much hp do you think shorty headers and a dyno tune would bring?
on a 5.7L 20-25whp range similar in torque. on 392 or hellcat it's not worth doing shorty headers
@@RTLife yeah man it's a 5.7 I'm just trying to get a little bit more power and getting those stock manifolds out of there
@@12gaugehemi46 I only have straight pipe(muffler delete),a diablo sport tuner, and cold air intake on my 2013 5.7 Turned it into a whole new animal!! Supercharger is on my wish list but $$$
@@Ladylegslover44 I hear that man I gotta mid muffler delete a cai and the diablo tune I definitely felt some gains with that as well
@Chris Swenson that's the plan bro I'm gonna go with some shorties and put her on the dyno here soon
Aftermarket CAIs, especially the legmaker dorks.
Cold air intakes have been shown to work, but with supporting modifications and tuning. Can’t just toss a CAI on a stock car and expect any performance gains.
@@fearnfaith6721 no they don't, the tuning and supporting mods work.
Finally a content creator that's happy to take the bad with the good. Respect.
thanks man, I appreciate it
I see the science in a throttle response. There is a fixed time on when it goes full open, so adding something to lessen that time may “feel”
Like greater hp but it just gets to the top quicker maybe. I also have a wrap on my charger. The biggest reason is to protect the the paint. There are rock chips on the wrap that would be in my paint if it was not there.
Learned a lot great video
glad it was helpful in some light.
I have a Slingshot. I just bought the Pedal Commander but I did so based on conversation with other Slingshot owners with them installed. It wasn’t very much money and it purports to increase low end torque off the line. Either from a dead stop or exiting out of a corner, that’s what I want. I’ll let you know.
How can I get a front mounted camera to protect the splitter from hitting curb?
might be cheaper to put a sensor up there. Not sure how to do it though
spacers actually work. They help low and mid range throttle response.
The massive amount of mixed reviews are why I never gave it a shot.
@@RTLife I know what you mean. So, I just bought one and found out for myself.
perfect timing! just when I was about to purchase pedal commander for my '10 rt
Glad this was helpful in some light.
I have the Roar Pedal and love it. Plus at 149 way cheaper than the Pedal Commander.
I don't regret buying a pedal commander. I can and do actually drive, so control is very important to me.
14 300 5.7 needs the pedal commander. The throttle is so laggy and with the pc you can make it as sensitive as you want.
@ the end of the day it is your car and as long as you are happy with your choices in mods who cares what the haters have to say... just give them another bottle of HaterADE...
I agree - your $$$ your car. it's what makes the car community fun & unique
Maybe it just me but I don’t feel strongly about anything movie related or theme related to wrap my car entirely in it. That’s just strange to me.
On my Audi S6 4.0. Its twin turbo and the lag is crazy....i put a pedal commander and instantly took away the lag. Better drivinb experience...car is already 600hp so i just wanted better throttle response
You would think people would research a product before they put it on the car.
Love your content brother keep it up.Just remember your doing great and let the haters hate they don't have anything better to do
thanks man - def appreciate the support. Going to keep having fun & modding
Do to your car what makes you happy Remember your driving it for your pleasure not everyone else’s
Got the spacer, had the peddle commander, makes a difference, wish I could have straight pipe, but when your renting, not a good idea, lol instead have Magnaflow Cats. An Flowmaster exhaust, Darn I wish, I had gone for Magnaflow Exhaust, way way better. Got short headers, guys girls don't, get the long headers. Lol if your pocket book can allow it, of course. Great Simple Sweet Video. You da man
To each their own... your car/truck do what makes you happy 😎
100% agree. Social media has made many people super bold with their negative feedback on other peoples ride
@@RTLife this is so true! Keep doing the vids I love this car!
Badging is not an upgrade, its false advertising
I would love to see your mod schedule on what you have done. And if you would have changed mods or schedule. I have finally started modding my 11 Challenger R/T.
I get tons of compliments on my 5.7 Challenger almost everyday. I have a mid muffler delete with Race Bullets and a Throttle body spacer installed lmao. In sport mode, the engine screams with that throttle body spacer. I dislike the farting noise my exhaust makes when shifting in high speeds tho. My plan in the future is to do a Borla Attak with short headers and airbag suspension.
Hey R/T life I was looking at your old videos about changing the bumper for circular tips and was wondering which clamps did you use to put it in and how did you put circular tips in (i have carven exhaust tips)
Why did you take your wrap off the side of the car , Did it fade out from being outside ? I like the wraps makes the cars look unique 👍
I loved the wrap as well but the widebody kit was a fresh start for the Charger. I will likely do something different down the road.
There's nothing wrong with straight piping imo. Most people prefer that than spending expensive custom exhaust systems. I've seen and heard MANY straight piped Mopars and its impressed and it's more fun. It doesn't matter about what other people think. It matters if YOU are happy with it.
I've got a muffler and resonator delete on my 5.7l 300c. I love how it sounds tbh but I still have my factory cats. Only thing about it I cant stand is when the MDS kicks in and shuts down 4 cylinders. The drone from that is annoying. Its quiet at highway speeds when the MDS isn't engaged and sounds amazing when I punch the throttle. But my fix for this issue will be a Diablosport tuner. Will be ordering 1 next week.
Use the slap shift and it won’t activate mds
3:48 Took me a little bit to realize it. You also a "Pshhh" thingy on your cold air intake too?
that's the blow off valve for the twin-turbos
A excellent veiw appreciate your efforts and quality content thanks.
thanks man - def appreciate it. A little different of a topic
Me personally, I love the sound of a good torquey v8 (straight piped or not). But I do have an issue with the fact that cars and trucks have to abide by noise ordinance and motorcycles are completely exempt from it, and alot of them are just obnoxious.
None of mine and my wifes vehicles are fly-by-wire (sold my '10 dakota so we could financially afford moving to AZ from OR), so no pedal commander for me.
Liked the video! ... I think the throttle controller mod is a loved mod... It's easy to do and does exactly what it advertises. Every video I've seen on it gets alot of love and very few that hate and those that hate are ones that have never tried it. Imho, it doesn't belong on this hate list just based on what I've encountered. Who doesn't like to get what you pay for? With this mod you definitely do! Just my 2 cents.
on badging. on my 2020 Daytona 392, when i start the car the infotainment screen says SRT, when i shut the car off it says SRT, the motor says Powered by SRT, i have the SRT performance pages. the only thing missing is well the SRT badging. i am against putting an SRT badge on it, however a SRT powered or Powered by SRT badge is just facts...
I see you have an oil catch can , I got a 5.7 I haven’t done the conversion to the 392 intake manifold yet but I’m wondering if you’re using a 5.7 intake manifold catch can or the 6.4 intake manifold catch can ( any help on this would be greatly appreciated ) because I don’t know if I should order the JLT 5.7 or there 6.4 variant ( it’s probably common sense but I just want to be on the safe side )
What about the horsepower gain from putting brand decals on the car. Or is that another topic
To each is own and if its your ride make it your ride
100% agree with you on that
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man
So does the spacer throttle work 😮?
It's your money spend it like you want, I feel if they don't help you make the payments or insurance it shouldn't matter what they say, it's all about what you like, but no matter what you do you will never please people, and we shouldn't worry about it.
yah I've def learned that, can't make everyone happy. No matter what you do, there is always someone that will trash what you have. But like you said - it's your money, spend it & enjoy the hobby as you see fit.
I would do the pedal commander, spacer is the gain worth the price? That's the question, idk. Badges I feel like you can debadge or rebadge, for instance I have a 5.7 I'm putting on a 345 badge. I don't see the difference between an R/T scat pack and an SRT 392. Do a few mods and it's the same thing, hate me if you want. Wraps make it your own or keep it stock there shouldn't be an argument over that. And pipes mine is straight piped I love it, but I can't wait to get the xmod from magnaflow.
Im the guy that dogs on everything LOL. Good video.
My most hated mod it the upbadging. I own a 16 Challenger Scat Pack and I am proud of what I own and would never want to try and pass her off as a hellcat or Demon. Just because you don't have or can't afford the biggest or baddest trim line dosen't mean you should be fake. If it's an SXT, GT, RT or Scat Pack. Be proud of what you own. The Challenger and Charger models have the best body lines and best motor options of any of the modern muscle cars and we don't need to be fake about what we have. Let the Ford and Chevy guys do that.......
I got huge decals, changed badges, previous straight pipe. Some cars can pull it off. 🤷♂️ but yes, to each their own.
pretty much did all three you listed. No matter what you do, someone will pick it apart. But, your $$$ your Car
What about the folks,who are against converting to a widebody? 🤷🏾♂️
I really haven't seen many of them. Some don't like it but 99% of people could care less if you slap some fender flares on your charger or challenger.
Big difference when the badge suggests it has twice the power vs a wider stance. Considering ever Jeep out there gets flares and a change in stance and nobody cares.
Simple resonator delete as a small cheap mod is definitely the way to go, these hemi’s purr nicely and well full straight pipe has an acquired taste for sure I’m not knocking it at all but I do think you actually loose power doing straight pipe cause hemi’s need that back pressure
I gained HP, on Stock Tune by
cutting the Mufflers. Modern Combustion Engines do not need Back Pressure to Make power. If It was a V6 then Maybe, but a 8cyl not so much. Mufflers, and Cats, are designed to restrict Airflow..... Not Produce Pressure. The Pressure is a side effect. But that's not the intention of the design, so the Motor does not "Need" Pressure just to run, it needs AIRFLOW. That's why you gain power from Headers, which are not known to produce Pressure.
How do I get the full throttle response without a pedal commander
Some claim you can do it within the tune. I haven't experienced anything similar to a throttle response device - they give you complete control.
Good video! No arguments here! Feel like everything you stated is straight facts lol
Have a Pedal Comander on my 20 T/A...love it. Of course no power but the response it great. I also deleted my resonators after a few weeks of a cat back MF exhaust. I love the growl and the pops!
it's nice having full control over the throttle body. Makes the car so snappy
The up badging part cracks me up I can’t wait to see what people say to me because my 21 scat came new with SRT over the brembos 😂
Love you videos man
Thank you - def appreciate the support
I have a procharger, pistons, headers of a jeep 2020 6.2. Fits most hemi. All new. Can't do the build anymore. It's an f1. Gonna drop it for 2500. Great deal. Have a great weekend. Sorry if this is shitty. Trying to get the word out. Located in ny long Island.
That Deadpool wrap 🤡🤡😂😂
Pedal commander tore my car up!😔
yah many have reported back issues with the blue tooth version. Sorry to hear it man
@@RTLife I don’t even understand what happened everything was going fine then one day I got a check engine light & the car just started acting ridiculous!
What happened to it???
Try Sprint Booster. Zero issues
I was just thinking about ordering the Sprint booster for my 2019 charger do there work??
Love that intake tube design
thanks man - def happy with setup
You forgot to mention Big wheels and Lambo doors lol
Thought cold air intake gonna make the list lol
that would be a good one to add along with shorty headers - both spark major debate as well
@Chris Swenson I have shorty headers installed champ - along with twin-turbos on a 6.5L 397 stroker engine making 780whp on 12 lbs of boost
people hate on wraps simply because instead of putting a good $1500+ on performance they put it toward looking good. dont get the hate when people enjoy being unique
yah pretty much. Many make that point - the $$$ could've been used for better performance
Isnt it great to live in a free and democratic society and the freedom of personal choice is upheld, i was almost personally offended by this then i grew a pair. Once again excellent vid bloke. Cheers
I thought spacers actually helped? Not huge but some?
I wish the chrysler forks would make a 2 door charger!
Do not want to sound negative, but it would.... that red spacer, as it looks like - should bring zero effect. Looks same as blue spacer with vent inside (priced $10.00 in Walmart online / Amazon). I am pro-mods in general, but if my neighbor had a straight-pipe exhaust, it probably would his last mode, since he will constantly will repair scratches and other cosmetic money consuming things. More to this - majority of people do modds and they happy and proud of them, enjoying themselves and make other smile. But some people, with any upgrade getting the "racing mode" and simple drive irresponsibly - fast, loud, unpredictable.
I've had a few people compliment my exhaust sound on my '19 Scatpack Challenger. Psst! ...it's stock active exhaust from the factory! LOL!
Same with the mustang wannabes. It is obnoxious
Why spend money on a custom straight pipe exhaust when you can just buy a ready to fit muffler for the same price and have a better sound?
Do you neihbors ever get mad about the sound of your car?
on my 2015 civic 1.8 r18 with the cvt, a throttle body spacer made a great difference at low and mid rpm!! its night and day. i coupled that with peddle commander? yah. whole new beast. so i disagree. plus, you really notice more gains on smaller engines
whats the hold up with the car?
fueling. Going to fix that this week
The only understandable one to me is the badges as far as hate for em goes..nvm the straight pipe 2. But to each is own at the end of the day
You forgot abt the lip guards.😆
I wouldn’t necessarily call these mods or real mods but they’re all def ridiculous. The pedal commander is fun but it just changes the throttle response but it might feel like you’re getting more power only cause you’re getting the power you already have much faster. The badging kills me and even though everyone does it, mopar wins that one. It’s not a problem when you’re just changing the badge color or changing it from 5.7 to 345, as long as it’s the right badge for the right model. But when you got guys putting SRT, Hellcat,and Scat badges on their v6s or 5.7s, it’s a joke. Or when you got 5 different badges on your car and not one of them is your car. I seen a guy other day with a RT 5.7 with 392 badges on fenders, Hellcat logo, and a scatpack badge on the trunk lid. I wanted to scream at him for making us look like assholes. How is your car a 6.2 and a 6.4? Or the guy who’s got his name all over the car like yo is that a 392. Has it on fenders, windows, grille, trunk, and tires. The exhaust thing is funny too cause it’s almost like a contest to see who can have the loudest most obnoxious sounding car so they run straight stock pipe, no headers, no high flow cats, no mid mufflers, no resonators, no catback!. All drone! No performance! Oh and all of that with same old stock wheels with 245s and cool caliper covers that say brembo on them! 😩
If you already have a diablo or any other tuner a pedal commander is pointless 🤣🤣 the tuner will do the same thing save your money.
Except those won’t show up if you take it to the dealer that the ECU has been tweaked
I'd say to each their own.....💯😎
agreed. Their $$$ let them spend how they want
Haven’t heard an bought catback on an rt that sound better than straight pipe boi.
