Transforming my Cop Car Into a Daily Driver

[@33ordie]

Great purchase sir :) May I suggest more daily driver mods for a Hemi RT engine? Open up the exhaust to make it all 2.5 inch from the cats, including 2.5 inch x pipe. Cut out the end tail resonators and again 2.5 inch. But, add an H pipe to the last bend before the tips. Put a Tazer and unlock your dash and control options. Put SRT paddle shifters. Put the 8.4 inch display, ultimately the one that has the GPS (I took mine from a Durango. The display adjusts to your vehicle specs after a few hours.). Open up the intake; SRT Throttle body, p-flow type. Now you have a 4.6s, 13.5s 1/4 easy to pilot RT like vehicle. I also put 20 inch hellcat wheels, and waiting for the occasion to put my srt shorty headers :)

[@Church99n1]

One question from a poor noob does it make the check engine light come on

[@meawesomemax3947]

get a civilian center console from 2011-2023 they are super comfy and looks great if u are planning on dailying it.

[@Funexpected]

Do you have a suggestion on where to get an OEM one aside from eBay or a dealership? My local junkyards dont have any Chargers.

[@towmanmarty9593]

NICE! We have the same ride except mine is RWD. Named mine MAYHEMI. I actually got mine with only 9500 miles on it, never put in service as it along with several other 2014's sat on a lot in Cali when a pending deal feel thru with a Police dept out there. It sat for 4.5 years before being sent to auction and sold to a guy in GA. The I got it from him in 2020 with the 9400 mi on it. Now I have 32k on it. Love this car!

[@Taino871]

I’m on a mission to purchase this very same car here in Northern New Jersey. A friend of mine in Texas purchased one…. And not one decal was put on his car. It was the chiefs car or a detective’s car, We are not sure. But after he sanded it down, primed and had it painted professionally… The car is gorgeous. Runs very well and it only has 76,000 miles on it. The person who drove it prior Really took great care of it of this beast. He drove it from Arlington Texas to Clifton New Jersey. We only changed the oil and I “ Stole it” from him and I gifted him with a proper sound system. This car really needed to be sold to the public… it’s amazing. Enjoy!

[@levilivingston982]

Cool video. I have a old Oklahoma highway patrol 2013 charger 5.7 hemi pursuit with muffler and resonator deletes. Sounds great!

[@Tornado_Alley2008]

Oklahoma!!!

[@stocksj]

Nice update, I have a ex-FHP 2013 Charger and I did the reverse with the center console. I do ham radio so I wanted room to mount radios. Still haven’t start that yet. I’ll need to make a top cover for the center console. I like the spotlight delete. Maybe later. New paint job coming up ne t week. Also the mid-muffler delete is a great idea. These cars need some sound.

[@michaelm3381]

I enjoy your Corvette videos best, but I do like your honesty and attitude in all videos. Stay warm!

[@joeschnell5695]

I find it strange that you blurred a highway sign but not your license plate.

[@ColinFowler]

This

[@ruminating1596]

For the police. IF he has footage of him speeding, plus they have the exact location, they can ticket him. Notice he blurred out his MPH too. By blurring it, they can’t prove speed or his location at that current time. Especially if someone called him in for reckless driving or speeding and it’s under investigation. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

[@scorpiomelancholia1559]

He learned from marques brownlee

[@Ty5oN101]

I'm on NH, and bought a 2017 Charger here. Pretty nice car that took a hit. It's almost done! I live at a private airstip and can't wait for my test run soon.

[@duckinatree]

Great video. If you go to a junkyard you can get a center console for $60 bucks from an RT or a Chrysler 300 which looks way better than that one. I did this with mind and I think it's looks great.

[@Bdantioch]

2014 rwd. Mid mufflers replaced with race bullets. My console has the police version. Only thing that ducks is the 2.65 gears and rear end. Otherwise, best car ever. Paid 7200 and 800 auction fee.

[@philpernice4722]

When i saw the supplied 3m tape i said thats not going to hold

[@That2008CVPI]

He just had to put a hellcat spoiler on a cop car

[@nyernga]

The trick to using the 3m double sided tape is to first apply their adhesion promoter to the spoiler and trunk lid. I've done 2 spoilers on my vettes and one front splitter on my C6 and C7...........increases hold significantly.

[@Mike__P]

and not doing it outside in the winter.

[@RT22-pb2pp]

Wipe with denatured alcohol.on all areas that tape attaches 3m sticks for ever. All dirt and oils need to be removed and it is fine for yrs. Do this just watch layer. Try to remove you will peel.paint

[@gavinmcknight9206]

i got a 2013 ford taurus PI that came with the 3.7L for only $3200. it was a k-9 unit so i had to take out the cage and put seats in the back. haven’t got a center console yet and hoping to program a key fob soon

[@doranmaxwell1755]

My 2014 SoCal came with the build sheet and like every work order ever on the car. the sheet said that it had the 'performance' exhaust' which... far as I can tell.. is just a resonator delete but the mufflers look smaller than what you had. It actually is pretty quiet inside till you nail it. A cold air intake actually makes the car louder also... Might even gain 1/2 a horsepower huh? Also the tuning chip made the car a tad louder also.. I actually bought and installed the exact same center console but did not need the plastic extra since for some reason that was still on the car. Its held up pretty good but felt 'loose' to me. I ran some black self tapping screws through the new and old and that worked. I love the spotlights tho. Had em on a crown vic before this and they were bright but no big deal and I took em off. Oddly.. removing all that weight from the vic did not make it much faster. I do know tho that a rear spoiler slows down a charger by 20 mph and makes you get 5 less mpg! Only something like a supercharger would gain back enogh of the lost HP On the spots... my buddy had a later crown vic than mine with spots and they turned night into day... if for some reason the headlights went out? you could drive with these things... As it is.. in commiefornia they are illegal for me to use in town unless it is an emergency ... I can actually see where that might be a reasonable law. bad enough they are in my hands but I can't imagine if everyone had em...I will keep mine and for everyone else? let them eat cake I say. Oh... I did buy a spare tire but I pretty much made the tools. Used a scissors jack I had laying around and welded a 1/2" impact socket to it backwards with the 1/2 tool opening facing out. Sooo... why? I am using extensions and a 1/2" impact driver (20 volt battery) Lot of expense for nothing? naaa... it jacks the car up pronto with of course no effort and at the same time the impact makes for some effortless lug nut remove/replace action The actual expense was.... well... almost nada. The cheap (and small) impact was a tad less than $40 and came with sockets and extensions! Thats where I got the socket to weld to the jack.... actually my son has a trailer and to level it he uses a couple 3 of those jacks so I welded them up also with 'supplied deep sockets' call me a pessimist but I could not imagine those 'supplied sockets' were much short of really really dangerous. Oh... fleabay sells like new used cop v rated tires for around $100 Good enough for me... hell I just paid (over the phone with cc) $160 for a tire for my stranded girl friends KIA and her car was cleverly engineered to not need tires speed rated for anything past 80 mph. At a tad under $6k I paid less for the car than most current Charger owners pay for a few pairs of the ugliest tennis shoes on the planet and their Amazon prime 'endless free rap and hip hop 'music' or all those cool LED light strips for inside and outside of the car. And of course a bigger real spoiler. Being a person who sunburns easily I am kinda worried someone might turn me in for 'cultural appropriation' but.... Being kinda old people forgive me like they do with my ignorance of pronouns you are a young man tho so I would go easy on the weird wheels and tires and spoilers and such things... prison terms for hurting peoples feelings are getting pretty stiff and more than likely you would not fit in very well in prison.

[@nikolakalinkov5567]

you should get new rims !! greetings from Bulgaria .

[@AK.__]

Great transformation and DIY! The Hemi AWD Pursuit mechanically is more robust and better than civilian counterpart. I would put though the Corsa catback and Mopar CAI - that's to revive the engine sound, and spoiler from models of that generation (SXT / RT or SRT spoiler).

[@masterturkey2001]

FYI you can also jump start it from the front. There are jump posts next to the fuse box.

[@fujitsubo3323]

that 3m tape you got to replace the tape that came with the spoiler is the real deal. i have used it to stick so many things together and then broken and ripped so many things getting it off.

[@jeffreycurtisjr9195]

Mine handles fine too have a 2013 Charger RT with AFe Cold air intake and tuned pcm and tcm with continental extreme contact tires

[@Donpovich]

Spotlight needs to be re-attached ASAP. Def adds to it..

[@Hamsalad2]

Did you consider getting a factory center console? Only issue I’m having with mine is wiring up the USB and the 12v plug to the car.

[@33ordie]

I have that on mine but the vents don't reach the back I don't know what would be the best way to add that routing... And my underseats are not vented even thoe they have the ducts.

[@UDIT_307]

This looks great. All it needs in my opinion is a very slight lowering to tighten up that huge wheel gap and keep those same police steelies and it would look mean as hell.

[@Trek2539]

I like the police suspension. My 2013 could bomb speed humps at 30 with no scraping

[@ting280]

I'm jealous of your trunk key hole. that sounded weird. anyway I disconnected my battery to fix my delaminated uconnect and closed the trunk without thinking. had to crawl in through the backseat and cut the strap for the trunk hook, and then I had to figure out how to fix that since "2018 dodge charger trunk hook" was giving me nothing on google. ended up cutting up some old suspenders.

[@jimm8465]

The bondo will crack. You should have welded the holes. Ground the welds down, then bondo, and paint

[@mikeceli]

Nice video. how about a Link or info as to where you got the console? Is it Charger specific? thanks, Mike

We were told, go buy other car doors, cheaper that to install all of the individual components. Can not get any info on how to activate the cruise control. Do you know?

[@ItsDaJax]

Dodges awd is part time. I'd have done an x-pipe, and kept the spotlight. Somebody needs to make a single DIN and HVAC knob conversion for these cars.

[@ionengine714]

Pursuit AWD is on by default, it only switches to RWD when the temps are well above freezing AND also consistent speeds above ~50mph.

7:31 What’s the brand/name of the center console and where can I get one from. Been looking for one for a long ass time

[@ionengine714]

Go for a factory console (used or from a OEM parts vendor), the reviews/videos of that cop-style slim console are not favorable. There are insertable storage trays to replace gear selector plate. And sure you'll have unused rear passenger center cents, but that's room to add charging/DC ports (and connect then to battery using add-circuit taps).

bondo isn't waterproof. you just made a easy ingress spot. oh and all you had to do was wedge the trunk open a half-inch and the tape would've stuck fine
