Killer Bee Hood: Price, Fitment, Problems etc...

Charger Hood Upgrade, Killer Bee (Viper inspired hood). In this I will go over a bunch of questions & review the Killer Bee Hood by BMC Extreme Customs. This Charger aftermarket hood has a big hood scoop with 6 heat extractors on the side, which optimizes air flow throughout the engine bay. The best charger hood, let's find out.
If you are looking into a Demon, Viper or Killer bee hood for charger make sure to check out BMC Extreme Customs. I have no seen their Demon hood on both Charger & Durango and the fitment/quality was solid.

Video definitely got good at 8:08. Hi Mrs R/T Life. Ok I dont care what the cons are. That damn Hood is killer. I am sure there are a multitude of options to address the cons. I'd still go with it. Looking freaking nasty.

[@RTLife]

LOL - she's the best. Always willing to help. Yah I have 0 regrets with this hood. Such a nice upgrade

[@Sak-zo1ui]

Silver _S16 you could always put a fine mesh bug screen under the vents to limit water from getting in as much. The water will bead on top of the screen. There is one easy to fix con down.

[@RTLife]

This is such an awesome hood! Very happy I ended up going with.

[@Renegadeaco]

So do you believe this hood is better than the demon hood?

[@chucknostaw2819]

Hey if you are not subscribe please do so. You are missing out on a lot. Especially those of you the have a 5.7.. Honest non opinionated information about his build. Tons of information and ideas. Great guy too. And no I am not his fluffer. Just appreciate the man, his content, and his values. Ok I have to wipe my nose. Lol

R/T Life what brand is your cone filter ?

[@RTLife]

it's a Jammer Air Intake by Diablo Sport

[@218422100]

That is my new favorite hood. Really brought the car to life as far as style and looks go!!! Keep it up bro 😎💯🔥

[@RTLife]

it just adds so much style & functionality. i'm really happy I ended up doing this. Thank you

[@TA_Plus_Hemi]

You really shouldn't have to worry too much if it is just a small amount of water getting on the air filter element. Myself and every other gen 3 phase 2 Challenger driver gets a wet filter every time we drive in the rain. If you feel it gives you problems then address it by all means. I'm just glad to see a little satin black on that car LOL.

[@RTLife]

I really didn't get any water on my filter with this hood & the little mod that I did.

[@ShovelMonkey]

That looks like a gloss black, a satin black will not be reflecting like a still lake when you're out fishing.

[@TA_Plus_Hemi]

@@ShovelMonkey look at the vents

[@ShovelMonkey]

@@TA_Plus_Hemi Oh, I get it, you were talking about the area behind vents. I was thinking of the visible hood surface.

[@IheartBass]

I suggest getting the srt cover for the abs control unit for purposes of keeping the water off of it. It's cheap. I did this when I went hellcat hood swap. I also designed a cover for my air intake that is interchangeable on rain and sunny days. I wish I could show you my air intake design on here. It's simply black Plexi and 90s

Almost man! Another month or so but almost hahahaha. Thanks man - def appreciate it.

[@Andybojangles]

What I did about my intake is went to home depot and got a piece of lexan, cut out a piece slightly bigger in all directions and used a heat gun to bend and form it to the curve of the intake. Then got rubber sealer around the edges so it fit snug and made a water tight seal

[@kingcharles7296]

[@CTHellcat]

It's a great looking hood! Looks really mean. I used a pre-filter to keep my exposed intake dry. Its a fabric slip that goes over the intake and let's air in, but keeps water away. Plus it comes in different colors to match your color scheme.

[@RTLife]

Yah I was looking into one of those - I need to have a custom one made because of the size of my filter.

Waitaminit! We have some sort of windshield wiper spray? Damn son, I just drive faster and the bugs burn off the windshield from air friction.

Love the car love the hood I’m planning on getting a SRT HOOD for my 2014 charger RT and can’t decide to go with Amerihood or Trufiber. Any suggestions? Would appreciate it

[@camronct]

Hey I just bought this hood. The upgraded one with the closed off side vents and has the ram air so water doesn't leak all over. My question is. Its fiberglass so theres a rough texture. My vinyl guy said it won't hold because vinyl holds better/stronger on a smooth surface like a painted one. How did your hood arrive in? Same as mine and if so,.how long did the the vinyl wrap last without any lifting

[@IjohnnyproI]

The hood looks killer man

[@RTLife]

Thanks buddy - hows everything going on your end?

[@Javenjerrel]

I have a v6 that I’ll later upgrade I’ll definitely look into getting this hood for the look

[@ynrt_5.772]

Had a question on the window washers....I want to remove them without breaking them....do they pull out...do you have to lift a tab to pull them out or push them through....most videos I see of hood removals or swaps usually speed through this step and don't show how they are removed....I saw were a few people broke theirs trying to get them put....I'm sure it's simple but just wanted to make sure before I break something lol

[@Realcocotazo]

Just a quick question did you need the hood pin and the relocation kit?

[@andrewhigdon8346]

But more importantly, did the hood help reduce your under hood temps, as well as the inlet air temp? Did your ECT come down at all? And where does the central ducting end up? Does it channel the fresh air directly over your air box?

[@fleets1237]

I mean it will be a good hood for summertime I would put that stock one in the rain tho looks badass men

[@RTLife]

That is always an option - didn't take long at all to swap them

[@freemo06]

we have a problem when engine fill with water ?

[@Indigeaux797]

Great addition to your Charger. ABS lines cover next for under the hood?

[@RTLife]

We will see! I think something big is happening next

[@davidsmith4186]

I run the VOLANT closed box with a Donaldson filter. Opening in the bottom like factory intake and the front side is opened up toward the headlight.

[@RTLife]

you will not run into issues with that intake - the vents will allow your engine bay to cool down quicker

[@davidsmith4186]

@@RTLife I'm thinking it's the same design as your Corsa cai was.

[@ZELProdroid]

Did u add the built in rain tray when you bought the hood

[@MikulakR]

What or how did you handle the wiper washer sprayer?

[@lifewithmike1883]

I'd love to know if it helps with the underhood temps ever since I put long tubes on my RT my driving temp has gone up 4 to 6 degrees and I was looking at this type of good or a Hellcat to help with that

[@RTLife]

What I have sound is idle is similar - once I start moving though even a light cruise it cools off much quicker.

[@carlosbeatty9508]

I ran the windshield wiper hose to the front of the car, and filled it up with water. Cools down the ac in the summer quite a bit

Would a aluminum hellcat hood fit my 2017 charger RT? Would it need pins or bumper swap?

[@7D9Z28]

Hood looks awesome. How much prep work on the hood was involved? I asked BMC and couldn't get a complete answer for just getting it wrapped vs. painting.

[@RTLife]

You don't need to prep it if you're wrapping it. Iconic has done this a bunch of times & said it would be just fine with the wrap put on it as is.

[@scdotintrepid]

Found the channel and Subed shortly after I bought my RT. Sometime around June of 2017. Love the videos. Keep'em coming. If you aren't subscribed and are watching these videos... What are you waiting for? You know you got a dozen subscriptions you aren't even paying attention to... Come on, do the bell thingy. Don't you want to see more? I do! Or do it for turtles then. They live vicariously through the work this channel does. Because they can't afford to do any modifications to their RT's. So if you don't subscribe you'll be, ....just stomping on the dreams of all the poor turtles out there. "Did you do it? 🐢"
