So, say you got a grand to spend, max, what would you get? Currently I have a Mopar CAI, SP Phenolic Spacers and Flowmaster Mufflers with no reso's. The max I'm spending is a thousand dollars, and I want to get as much power out of it as I can. No nitrous though. Here is my thought. 180 T-Stat Diablo Predator CMR Tune. Any better ideas? Thaks peoples! =)
I agree with the above...however with your other current mods a CMR is not necessary...it may give you a bit more HP, but the canned tunes are pretty good for bolt ons. I was going to suggest the T Stat, Diablo and High Flow Cats but I forgot you moved to Cali...
pay a shop to either cut out or hollow out your cats, ill give you some phone numbers you can try. get the diablo and the t stat. no way you should have an srt and not have a predator.
Perfect advice. But I wouldn't worry about the highflows. They'll never notice. As for hollowing out a set, not something I'd recommend.
Couple reasons. The smell and the hassle should he get caught. Trust me, I'm no tree hugger. But the cats are there for a reason. So for his basically stock ride, IMO, it's not worth the hassle. I assume yours throws codes or do you have the rear O2's deleted??.
Based on your current mods and CA location, I suggest the following: Diablo Predator - http://www.bmcspeedshop.com/DiabloSport_Predator_5_7_6_1L_Hemi_p/u7135.htm 180* - http://www.bmcspeedshop.com/product_p/jet-10183.htm 85mm Throttle Body - http://www.bmcspeedshop.com/product_p/mmhvtb.htm Those 3 would be under $860 shipped. You'd still have $140 left to have a local exhaust shop cut out your cats and weld in straight pipe, if you wanted.
Oh, really? I mean, if I'm not going to really notice any bump in power or response in the throttle, I might as well save the $350 or $400 and get the throttle body? How sure are you abut this? Thanks! Oh, cool, thanks. What HP gain should i expect out of the throttle body, better yet, out of everything? Do you have a rough estimate? Thanks! Appreciate it guys, keep the suggestions coming. I plan on doing the work early December.
We've seen an average of 8-9 rwhp from the throttle body. The Predator will improve the shift points (which will make it feel faster) and add around 25+ hp (per Diablo). So, figure 30+ to the tires, perhaps with a faster feel from the shift points, too.
yeah, theyre removed. the smell really isnt that obvious when its warmed up. i decided to hollow them out instead of weld in straights just in case some cop pulled me over and looked under the car.
