1. Wheels and tires 2. Exhaust 3. Cold air intake 4. Suspension 5. Tune

[@AmericanMuscleDodge]

Not a bad list! Thanks for watching! -Zach

[@A.ChristopherJohnson]

t / a already has the cold air bro

[@PotatoeJoe69]

There's really no need to spend money on a whole exhaust for the Challengers, because the stock exhaust with the mufflers and resonators cut off already flows better than an any aftermarket exhaust with mufflers. Add some long tube headers and high flow cats to the stock exhaust + reso and muff delere, and it outperforms any full exhaust system for 1/4 the price.

[@jujuforjesus]

Love it! I’ll take the throttle response controller and the suspension. God bless.

[@vinsanity3502]

Great show

[@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374]

SRT8s require 3" and is what I've got on my Challenger. Except I went with the SLP loudmouth cat backs, and are the best bang for the buck. They do have some drone that a lot of reviewers complain about, but is easily remedied by changing up the RPMs a little and doesn't bother me at all. Is not a daily, so it's no big deal and love the way that the Hemi sounds with a good set of pipes. The best part is that replacing them, also eliminated the reso's and is basically a straight pipe setup. With the open chamber racing bullets, it breathes so much better now and love my Dodge. I was thinking about getting a pedal commander, but the response time is already pretty quick and gets out of the hole fast. Although I do need to get some drag radials because even with 295s, it spins and lose traction. I also got rid of those shop vac style tip's, and replaced them with duals surrounded by carbon fiber

[@tylersell5623]

Borla exhaust. you'll thank me later. Extremely underrated

[@AmericanMuscleDodge]

Borla makes some awesome products! -Zach

[@juannevarez1947]

So my 11 srt8 I just bought has a borla exhaust but sounds really quiet. I did get the car from California you think it’s because it had to pass strick emissions testing

[@MichaelD429]

I did a full delete other then the cats . And got a SRT x pipe and tips . Sounds amazing

Notice the driver side hood is up due to the air intake box not fitting correctly. This is the same issue I am having with my 2017 RT Plus. Now I got to do some adjustments so the hood closes fully. If anyone has this issue what do you do to have hood fully close?

Another good one would be wider wheels/tires. The stock tires are so narrow for that big of a car.

[@geneevans7885]

I got a 14 challenger, first thing I do before the exhaust and engine is a total suspension overhaul.

[@repnatl]

Save money on the first two and do a tune and larger throttle body.

[@windstarpro]

Yeah, this kind of reinforces the idea the Dodge owners are looks only. Dont waste your money on RGB for God's sake, or stance. What a cancer. A 6.4 cam and a shot of nitrous will make your car seriously faster. If your serious.

[@AmericanMuscleDodge]

@@windstarpro That's fine and great for a Challenger owner serious about tracking their car more often. The majority of owners have no real use for a shot of nitrous. The concept of a "Top 5 Mods" is to appeal to overwhelming majority of vehicle owners who want a solid mix of mods for appearance, power, functionality and longevity. Being "serious" is subjective to each person's taste. Thanks for watching - Adam

[@Lumpofchicken]

@@windstarpro yeah the only cancer I see here is you my man. Let people do what they want to their cars. I agree the RGB is a bit cheesy, but tf are you gonna do with a shot of nitrous besides put unnecessary wear on your engine

Tires, and a new paint plum Crazy job followed by a ceramic coat in the paint to have to car shine vibrantly

[@cripplermaximus]

Damnit. I just got a 2010 RT and I want to do all of these. Lol.

[@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374]

One of the first mods I did on my SRT8, was the exhaust and breathes so much better now. The stock pipes on the older Challengers/Chargers, are terrible and also very heavy with those huge suitcase style resonators. We went with SLP loudmouth cat-backs, and sound incredible together with its 6.1 hemi. The best part about them though, is that they are a simple design and are super lightweight. As heavy as our big beautiful pigs are, every bit counts and is a performance upgrade all by itself with the wt difference. They basically consist of the 3" with open chambered racing bullets, and deletes the resos. Then we did a diablo tune on her, and am looking to do a cam next 💪🏼😎

[@toshikiuchiha13]

So how much horsepower do the headlights add

[@enriquegarcia1547]

I would like to ask anyone if I can get some advice about my 2019 Challenger R/T 5.7L. My car has a little shake (like a miss) at the cold start and also when it's warm, it has a very slight hesitation on getting power to pick up speed. The dealer keeps telling me that this is a normal for all HEMI engines, of course, I'm not satisfied with these answers. I read that if the Throttle Body is upgrades to 85mm, this would resolve the problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[@jonathancarl1898]

Nah get a ported 80mm

[@canalbikeguy]

My first 5 are 1. Dynamax race bullets 2. Strut bars (front and rear) 3. E wire inside around the dash board 4. Blackout the reflectors and rear 5. Custom wording after removing the “dodge” from the back

[@A.ChristopherJohnson]

Is the warranty dead now ?

[@xXgaminfoolXx]

Anything for newer models? I own a 2016 I just picked up a diablo tuner but as any sane guy I want more power

[@TimScottDT]

Asking advice, for my 2011 dodge challanger rt 5.7 hemi, need advice for exhaust, cold air intake, my hood is not a shaker hood, it just sits high up like an old school muscle car, so needing advice on cold air intake because I've seen with different hoods, you may need different kind of cold air intakes, and can't stand the all red on the taillights, with the dodge in the middle, ANY ANSWERS WILL BE MUCHHH APPRECIATED!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

[@arielrodriguez3129]

Be mindful for fitment when it comes to air intakes. I just recently bought the Ingen airtake but my hood does not close fully so I need to make adjustments. Just research a CAI that best fits with your style of hood.

[@michaelkoerner4578]

Jaysus. These mods ain't for people on a budget lol. 900 dollars for the lighting kid, 1600 for the corsa?

[@barbcoleman7681]

The reason the challengers sit higher is because Dodge wanted a suspension system that was designed to provide a comfortable and quality ride by absorbing road imperfections. It rides much better than its competitive counterparts, the famous mustang and the resurrected camaro. Secondly, the challengers exhaust system is already superior in terms of providing maximum air flow. Deleting the resonator is a much cheaper alternative to a full exhaust system if achieving quality sound is the objective. The other modifications seem good though.

[@wildbillo68]

YES...you are correct sir. I bought the Challenger (Used 2009 with only 85K on it).. After test driving the Mustangs and Camaros I like the ride from the R/T... I'm a lil older now so HP wasn't the biggest selling point for me (anymore) It's got the CAI / Exhaust , Tune now I'm doin staggered Tires on 20"...I am pretty happy with it. for under 20K...IF I had more money I'd get an old Muscle car (again lol) then the Mods are endless...

[@alexanderramosn1428]

How much hp does the cold air intake give?

[@AshokaMazda]

Typically nothing. It's a sound upgrade mostly

[@martinezt.v5343]

5 horsepower without a tune , on KZbin all you have to do is type in does intake really add horsepower and you’ll see actual videos of people putting there cars on the dyno before and after with a intake in it, and it really does add 4-5 extra horsepower and torque, numbers don’t lie

[@CamaroAmx]

I still kick myself for not buying that 2008 SRT8 challenger with 6k miles on it for $24k. I’ll never find another deal like that again.....

[@CamaroAmx]

At the time I made enough to buy it, but the insurance with full coverage (do to the need to get a loan) would of killed me. Maybe it was better because I got hurt a few months later and lost my job, so I would of lost the car a few months anyway.

And when younreally think about it the car hasn't changed much from 2008. '15 & up you get the split bar taillights mimicking the '71 Challenger style & the 08-14 have the straight bar that mimick the '70 rear...can't go wrong with either. Also the 15 & up have a new sharper front fascia that again mimicks the '71 cars with quad halos...so all in all not THAT different
