Wow Brother, Amazing Composure, Patience, and Determination exhibited here. This is a quality video for DIYers. I however, don't think I have the guts to attempt this without the use of a life. Every time I work on a vehicle, I soon realize why Labor Costs are so high. I usually end up Traumatized for days after a difficult job. You did a great video and despite obstacles, your persistence paid off. Congratulations on a very difficult upgrade to your Challenger! It sounds and pulls Insane!

[@KS1ECQ]

Your patience and presentation is commendable! Gives me confidence to do it myself!

My favorite part of the video was the For Sale sign to convey your frustration with every Greek tragedy you encountered on this 2 day project. I saw that and burst out laughing saying yup you’re just like me

[@benwolfe577]

Love the car . Color scheme is on point. I did long tubes on my Ram and it was a mother . As far as I know no bolts have backed out 👀🙈.

[@coopdogg871]

Thanks appreciate the comment! I will check to see if anything has backed out during my new mod Saturday :)

great video! love your attitude and you answered so many questions! installing Kooks long tubes on mine tomorrow! Wish me luck

How did the install go?

It was miserable, the top middle bolts took to much creativity to get them tight . But Now that they are installed I’m super happy with them!

Hey C-Dogg, thanks for the video. I'm wantin' to do the BBK's on my 6-speed '14 Challenger, too. After watching your video, I feel even more emboldened. I did some research and found out that the 1 3/4" longtubes are THE ticket for building torque and HP in our 5.7's (close to a 30 lb.ft. increase in the midrange, which you WILL feel in the shorts, as I'm sure you did). I'm tuning mine with HP Tuners, which I've already bought and started playing with. BTW, I get up to Battle Creek every now and then. TRMI is one of my customers.

Hey Dogg, I just installed my BBK long tubes with the high flow cats just like you did in the video. Did you end up expanding your stock X pipe after you removed the welded on clamps because I’ve run into the same issue.

I ended up having it re-welded they may have better options now but that was my best at the time.

what type of maneuvering did you have to do on the passenger side . i have heard it is the toughest.

How did you go about tighting the new bolts for the long tube headers. Not enough room to get a ratchet in there at the top to get it tight what was your method?

What did you end up doing to connect the mid pipes to the back half of exhaust? I have the stock cat back system that 2.5in but the midpipes won’t slide in

[@coopdogg871]

I finally had them welded as the provided clamps would of not lasted long.

[@periodahperioduhhhh8917]

Do the mid pipe cats come w the headers ? Thinking about purchasing these headers soon and that was one of my concerns.

[@coopdogg871]

The headers and mid-pipes are 2 separate purchases but are required to connect to your cats back system either stock or after market. You can get catted mids or off-road mids (no cats) depending on your states emissions on cats. The BBK LT's I got were part# 40460 and the mids were part# 40461. Hope that clears things up. Basically 2 separate purchases but required to connect to the rest of your exhaust...

[@ALEX-xd7ko]

Could you not go through the fender well to get the bolts out ?

[@coopdogg871]

You know you could be right I never thought to remove the fender plastic to see what access I had to the bolts. If anyone else has done that please comment and let everyone else know! Great idea Alex!

[@holeeshietpyro4072]

now that its been a year, have the headers changed color, rusted, or began to corrode? not sure what type of steel was used on the bbks but some header material degrades faster than other.

[@coopdogg871]

Mine still look brand new video coming soon on header update so hit that notification!
