I have been searching these forums for easy, must have, cheap mods. We should make one detailed (with part #'s and prices), and direct list of mods anyone can do in a day. I have been making a list of mods I need, help me help every new owner. So far I have found: 1. Stant Radiator cap (prevents coolant spray) #11334 about $5, 5 min mod. 2. Valuecraft/Motorad 180 deg. Thermostat. (cooler temps = more power) Auto Zone #4128 or #4127(176 deg.(edit)) $12.99, 20 min mod. What other cheap, easy, must-have mods do you know about? What is your favorite cheap mod?
Brake duct mod. $5.00 Drop in K&N--not as good as a quality CAI but $49.99. Also fwiw, the 4127 is 176F open temp, not 170.
GotStroke? I searched the brake duct mod and couldn't find much, I have heard this talked about before but I am clueless. Please Explain.
You basically sawzall the passengers side brake duct off at the point when it begins to curve. You then install a 4" plastic plumbing 90 degree (elbow) pipe from Home Depot/Lowe's with screws onto the "stub" of the brake duct--aiming the elbow's open end up toward the filter if running a CAI. If running the stock box, connect the open elbow end to some dryer ducting to the bottom of the airbox. there's a "silencer" opening on the bottom of the stock box that you can open up to match the dryer ducting.
These are not performance mods, but SSU for lighting $25 pr pair ebay & Nifty carpeted Catch-All mats AA4U $199 4pc set.
I have tinted fronts. And I love my weathertech floor liners. Tinting did make a big difference visually for cheap...it is a must.
I have the Weathertechs also, thats a MUST have IMHO, my carpets still look as new as the first day I bought my SRT8.
From what I was told..relocating the IAT (intake air censor) farther away from the trottle body with keep engine heat away from the censor which provides the engine computer with a more accurate intake air temp. It results in better MPG and 0-60. I'm not an expert, correct me if I'm wrong guys.
I thought of another one. The ole' SRT grill badge..$30 ebay. must, easy, and cheap. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodg...ryZ33654QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I doubletaped the Dashhawk to the supplied plastic bracket and put in on the top dash corner with Velcro, then ran the wire behind the wheatherstrip http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k306/SilveRT8/Mars2007003.jpg
