6 things NOT to do to a Scatpack /392.. Don't make a mistake!

[@lonnieaspinwall3862]

Great tip on the 392 powered cars. Here's a few tips I did as well. Mid muffler...don't delete. Instead, swap them out for Dynomax mini race bullets part #24250. Much more growl and bark, but keeps the drone away. Intake wise, I've run both the Mopar cai w/headlight tube and Hellcat setup...both perform well. After I tweaked the Mopar design a bit to seal it better, it kept the IAT ambient when moving + 20-25* cooler when in traffic than the Hellcat. Once my car is back together, going with a JLT series 2 as my intake setup. Forged, cammed 392 might need to breathe a little deeper..lol

@@vegaswould yea because the 392 from factory is already speced out as much as possible from factory. Thats why ur not gonna get much out of the engine if you try to do things to it. Now the 345 hemi however is very restrained from the factory. Thats why you can do a few things to it and get so much juice from it. I saw a guy run his stock 2017 charger rt in 30⁰F weather and got a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds - very close to the same time on a scatpack. And if you remove the speed limiter, you can potentially make the rt reach speeds of 171 mph on the charger - close to the 175 mph top speed of the scatpack

You nailed it about dealerships putting gas in & not realizing that you don't just put regular in every car.

Luckily he didn't argue that premium isn't required, as there is a difference & he would of been right, but he did start the process over again at the pump & selected premium for me. The '08 Charger R/T I picked up two days before the Stinger, I always put premium in as well.

Perfect. SRT's can put the power to the ground better than any inside tuning house I've ever come up against. Traction is always my biggest issue. With my 392 SRT 8, I was unable to find any discrepancies with these mods. I use it as a daily driver. Everyone wants better performance and sound. I can crank over 100hp out a stock SRT 4, but the 392s shouldn't be played with. No magic outside of turbos, superchargers or nitrous. Thanks for the vid. -A fellow professional tuner.

[@johnnyc4717]

I do wildlife and outdoor photography so I’m typically leaving my house very very early in the morning and out of respect for my neighbors, I kept my stock exhaust. Now let’s understand something, it’s a stock exhaust setup...hooked to the 6.4 Apache. Even factory bone stock, it is a goddamn terror... especially in the relatively cold DMV winters. Mid muffler delete is good but it’s one of those cars that unless you’re changing things under the hood and doing a proper exhaust swap, there is absolutely no need to do anything to the exhaust. It sounds absolutely glorious as is and once above the 4000 threshold, the valves open up to make it unbelievably barbaric.

Got a 22’ widebody chally here n did super 10 from flowmasters and it was still very muted, so I ended up taking both the resonators and mufflers off.. and at part to mid throttle it sounds really good but not overly loud, and only gets raspy n raps when shifting in sport or track mode. I know most straight piped cars sound bad but to me it doesn’t sound overly obnoxious n I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on the tone. There is noticeable drone at highway speeds but doesn’t really bother me, and is eliminated when manual upshifting into 7th or 8th gear.

Did that along with the Hellcat lower airbag and intake tube. Keeps the engine cooler and cleaner. The great thing is while it does block the drivers side extractor there is still large areas around the edge for plenty of heat to get out. For exhaust I am about to order the Xmod myself.

Hello, All, and RacerX! Great video, RacerX, as always, and thank you for keeping them coming all these years! While I love my 2023 White Knuckle Charger Scat -- which has the Hemi Orange package -- my ex sadly is taking it away any day now in our separation battle. So, I'm in the market for a Hellcat or another Scat (but the Scat has to be unique like my soon-to-be gone Hemi Orange Charger Scat). In any event, does installing a catch can void the factory warranty on a Charger or Challenger? In other words, is there some argument -- even if it's BS -- that could legitimize an attempt by Dodge to void the warranty (and what would that dealer argument against me be, hypothetically)? Thoughts, anyone? Thank you, in advance, for your help and advice?

Great Tips for the “Newbies”. If the Dealer I go to doesn’t know what kind of Gas the Car that they are trying to sell me, I’m going to a different Dealer; Why Dodge, uses the 245’s is beyond me; Even on a 5.7 , They are too Small & Soft. IDK about going & getting new wheels Right after spending 40k+ on a Car. I think Dodge needs to start looking at all the little things that We are discussing concerning The Shortcomings of their Performance Brand;,, Or Maybe making 2 different versions one for the average Joe (DD’s)and one for the Gearheads (street & strip) I know SRT does a great job with the HellCats. But I tried to add everything I could get @ the Stealership but I was on a budget. The best I was able to do was a R/T Plus. And I didn’t come with Remote Start. But that was 2017. Wish Dodge would have a SRT Line that includes more than just Hellcats & Drag paks. Maybe in the near future if they don’t get a new platform; or maybe if They Do! Just my opinion. BTW I just hit 30k on my R/T. Totally Stock. Had some electrical bugs early; so purchased The best FCA extended warranty for 5 more years or 60k whichever comes first. Has a 100 dollar deductible for anything that is not a typical wear item; ie Tires, brake linings, wiper blades, etc. Sorry So Long. Keep up with the excellent content!

One thing I will say about having 245s is you can "have fun" without even trying to! Lol makes driving it always an interesting experience 🤣

[@Hats1976]

Regular scheduled oil changes avoid those problems. I have a 5.7 Hemi Ram and I'll only let the dealership change oil in my truck.

[@evilxmetalband6532]

Do the 275 tires fit on the factory rims ok?

[@uncommonsense360]

What about a y-pipe butterfly valve dump to bypass the rear mufflers?

[@davidmoore4460]

Great info just got a 392 myself

[@Mills141]

I wouldn't have known some of it, thanks for the info

[@CarlosMartinez-qy9zw]

Is the oil catch can included in all challengers?

[@saintm1680]

Bigger tires with smaller sidewalls require more air pressure and give a smaller contact pad and less traction. Function before form.

[@chriscovert3905]

I have a 2020 scat pack 50th anniversary with the 392 shaker and I have the 275 tires in the rear but was thinking of doing 305 in the rear the wheels are 9.5 do I need to go to a 10 inch wheel ? And do you have a recommendation for protecting the matte finish on the hood roof and trunk lid ? And what brand of oil do you recommend to use ? I have always used amsoil full syn what are your recommendations? Thank you in advance.

You don't need 93 octane. Dodge engineered this motor to run perfect on 91. Don't stress over trying to find 93 or pay the exorbitant price for it. The car will perform admirably on 91.

[@therwbband6226]

Big problem is finding 91 ... at least in SE TN

[@justinth0506]

I was told by a dealer mechanic that you can get extra power by putting on a intake from a 6.1l and get factory so you don't void warranty.

[@zancrus9629]

Dealers should know what gas it takes. I used to work as a lot tech for a Chevy dealer and for Diesel and Sports cars we would take it down the the gas station down the street to fill them up because we knew we didn't have 91+ gas or diesel on premises. If they fill it with normal gas they are being lazy.

I work in a company that we build exhaust system for dodge company , exhaust for hellcat and other models of challenger . It breaks my heart people don’t like stock exhaust 😢 God knows how much we work hard to build them . I’m in IT department responsible for the robots and computers for cutting bending and welding pipes for the exhaust and mufflers. I wish people were keeping the stock exhaust 😭

[@bigHinMOTOWN]

I just bought a 22 392 and love the exhaust sounds great...and my neighbors will appreciate the fact that I will not change it.

[@MATRIX9905]

drove a srt durango that thing got so much torque and i love it

[@David-hj6en]

curious, what about engine mods? Cam kit? long tube headers. Basic bolt on stuff

[@91scalloped]

People don’t realize losing too much back pressure in the exhaust can actually rob an engine of significant power. I am a car guy and like many different manufacturers and car makes. I own a 03 cobra, 04 z06, & 2018 z07. The cobra motor, unlike the Chevy motor, reacts poorly to free flowing exhausts. I added long tube headers, no cats, y-pipe to one chamber flowmasters; then, long tubes to no cats, straight pipes all the way back. Finally, long tubes to a x-pipe, to two chamber flowmasters and catted. I lost 60 rwhp with the long tubes going straight back vs the stock manifolds and catback exhaust. In the other hand, my 04 z06 picked 40 rwhp with long tubes and dual straight pipes all the way back, no muffler but still has cats. 03 cobra is Whipple supercharged and the 04 z06 is a&a centrifugal supercharged. 2018 z07 picked up 65 rwhp with a cold air kit and x-pipe and Borla attak added.

[@Mrbobcat7]

Man having to put premium fuel in sucks. I was planning on just using regular. I've almost always put regular in my Mustang GT and never had an issue. I know it may be down a few hp because of it, but not noticable.

[@prfxshn2004]

What if I add a Borla Atak Catback exhaust system to my 392 Challenger how will it sound? And what do you think about it?

[@GLHS592]

You are right about the gasoline. They won't let us use anything but 87 octane in our work vehicles, so I put 87 in my car out of habit. Seat of the pants told me that it had to drop back 50 horsepower or more. I love the sound of the factory exhaust. However, it can drone a little. My dad thinks it is too loud as is. He's 71 and doesn't love cars, so take that for what it's worth. I just don't see the point in changing the exhaust. It is probably the nicest factory exhaust I've ever seen. You used to have to go with the aftermarket for something similar to this factory exhaust. I still can't believe they put 245 width tires on the Scat Packs. Thankfully, my T/A came with 275s. They hook up decent, but when it gets cold out, you can burn them pretty easy. I'm thinking about buying a pair of wider factory style wheels for 295s or 305s.

[@wilson2455]

87 Octane in a $60K Muscle/Performance Car ??? 91 Octane MINIMUM to prevent premature engine damage/wear & ensure a smooth ride..
