Installed a Catch Can today.

At the moment it won't fit with the engine cover on, so I pulled it off for the time being. So, here are some engine shots you guys wanted.

The Catch Can collects excess oil and moisture thats gets recycled and sprayed back into the engine manifold. It can be a cause for engine sludge, etc. So, this is typically the first mod done almost all the Challenger owners.

The issue we didnt know about was that they redesigned the intake box for the 2010 model. So, the CC wouldnt fit in its usual place, so we had to use an offset bracket the company makes. It works but the cover wont fit.

If/When I get a CAI, this wont be an issue, it'll buy me back the room to move the CC back in front and use the cover if I want.

I bought it from a company called Stack Performance. These guys are all stars. Super nice and knowledgeable. I ended up hanging there for almost 2 hours looking around their shop and at all their custom builds in progress. Great people. I'll be buying more of their products in the future.









ANd back at home asleep in her blanket

 

Sick shots!

 

 

Your parking lot looks familiar...

 

Like all subterranean LA parking lots?

 

oh yeah.. lol

 

interesting. I usually only see catch cans on turbo applications.

 

Very nice.

What equipment you using? definately nice bouquet you got going on there.

 

thanks

Nikon d3. But don't let that last pic fool you. I actually did something I never and used Photoshop to better the bokeh. I was on 24mm and the out of focus portion looked bad. You can see the shoddy PS job if you look at the edges. I rushed it.

 

kind of random, and i think i already know the answer to this, but does the engine sit way over the front axles?

 

Gah, I love the car. She's a beaut.

 

Nope. She's just a HUGE bitch

 

congrats on the challenger bud!

 

i thought you meant one of these

 

hahaha, congrats

 

Nice!

 

Nice.

 

What is up with the new air intake design? Is that a HUGE ass resonator that your oil catch is sitting next to or what??

 

Shop said its a silencer...Just more of an excuse to get a CAI

 

I was waiting for your ass to finally come on here and see it!

 

That is one nice Dodge. I would love one of those. The Marine base near here has an orange one (w/ RT stripes) that has a $35K price on it. Ouch.

 

good luck with it!

Cant wait to see how you mod it out

 

specifically, the lower righthand corner of pic.

 

OK time for some more pics and really bad iphone vid

Last week got tint finally, today had the exhaust modified the way I've been wanting it.

Tint






Exhaust






Vid

 

I'll get a better vid and better sound when I'm not getting home fighting the sun going down.

 

Mods, can I get the title changed to "Sarlacc's Challenger Updates"

Thanks

 

Nice sound and tints!!

 

That sounds great !! I really need to get something with a V8 one of these days... Haven't had a V8 car since the 90's...

Title updated...

 

thanks Greenie!

 

V8s are fun though. MMMM music to my ears.

 

That thang got a Hemi innit? Sounds sweet bet it sounds even better in person, with the volume switch controlled by your right foot.

Your next mod or one of your next mods should be suspension. Challengers look bad ass lowered! Are you planning to take any road trips in her in the future?

 

Took her up to Sonoma right around the time I got her.

 

Very nice

 

Wish I had a Hemi...

 

Looking great Sarlacc!

+1 on suspension...just drop her a bit and put on some nice wheels.

I actually toyed with a black SRT-8 this weekend while I was in the Z and had loots of fun with him...pulls a lot harder than I imagined. I want one..

 

Suspension is on the want list.

The RT 6spds have self leveling rear shocks, so I have to get a whole new set up.

The question is when I have the money do I go for Eibach pro kit springs and dampers...or do I save a lot more and drop a but load on kw coilovers.

Then, there is a local shop that is mopar specific and the owner has a charger and and challenger SRT and has made a lot of stuff for these cars as well. Its all top notch and the shop is awesome and friendly...thats where my catch can is from.

I got LOADS of things I want.

But for now, I have a v1 on order with a blendmount and invisicord...when those come in i'll stop there for a bit and try and save some cash.

 

And nokia...get a ride in one...on the freeway dropping from 6th to 4th is just fucking fantastic. And I only have a RT

 

Lookin and sounding great! Cant wait to see the updates.

 

Nice. What did the exhaust look like before?
