    Well, this weekend has been a good one so far for modding!!!!

    - installed new k&n air filter (part # rf-1032), onto my existing mopar cai (can actually hear the motor sucking air now)

    [​IMG]

    - had exhaust redone with two 3", wide open magnaflow muffs w/3" tubes all the way back (part # 11229). car has a MUUUUCH deeper sound and much better throttle response!! the tools that did it before actually used 2 1/4" tubing in areas that i was not aware of!!!!! talk about a butt plug!!!! :mad2:

    [​IMG]

    - installed my new xenon hids into my existing projector/halo headlights. wow, what a difference!!! (9006 headlights / 9005 fogs.... see marcel at total lighting solutions)

    - installed my new gorilla lug nuts to replace the POS stock units that were f'd up (summit racing part # gor-71147)

    [​IMG]

    - swapped my red brembos out with a neighbor i met last week who just got a red jeep srt, for his black ones. first black charger i have seen with black brembos!!!! woo-hoo!!!

    [​IMG]

    all in all, the cars sounds good, stops good, sees good, and overall is looking even better!!!! what a great weekend for modding!!!!!

    no, no..... just replaced the actual filter element. my original mopar one got very f'd up and i put on another POS. it did not flow at all as i recently found out after some "non-scientific" testing. put on a big K&N cone shaped filter on my mopar cai.!!! never get rid of my mopar...... love my flames man!!!! :grin:
