SuperTrooper169's 2009 Dodge Charger R/T R&T Thread
#321
2nd time was a wiring harness to one my o2 sensors that was causing bad info and a dummy light after I swapped my headers/midpipe.

Thanks man. I haven't been driving it a lot lately and when I do I've been staying closer to home in Goodsville. I run to the Walmart, Target and Pour Vous in Hendersonville every once in a while though. Once spring gets here I'll be taking it down to the Saturday evening car show in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot on Long Hollow. I think there's a car show Friday nights on Indian Lake that I might start going to as well.

Pour Vous is just amazing. Great hard alcohol section. I'd be down to go to some car shows, no idea what goes on here. I miss going and seeing other cool cars. Keep an eye out for my FX and, well, the CL stands out. Can't imagine there's a lot of modified ones running around.
I'll let you know when the shows start back up. It's always good to have fellow car enthusiasts to shoot the shizzit with. I accidently discovered the one on Long Hollow since I live down the street from it, and the Indian Lake one I found out about through my Mopar club. It'd be cool to check out the new wheels out on the FX someday.

Yep Pour Vous is the bomb. I go there for the craft beer, or Midtown in downtown Nashville, but that's a much longer drive.

what kind of restrictions do you have as far as SMOG, exhaust legal etc does your state have...if any?
If you aren't restricted like I am...you have even more possibilities at your fingers.

We have emissions testing but it's not the sniffer test, it's where they just plug into the OBII port. I don't think they did any kind of visual inspection last time I went through with the MS6. Because of that I'm thinking possibly JBA or Kooks hi-flow catted mids, but if I can find a killer deal on stock SRT8 mids I might just go with those. I definitely don't want to go catless though just because of the smell.

Depending on how aggressive the cams are, you can definitely tell with a big V8 - especially if there's a catback exhaust attached. It may raise questions with a more thorough inspection?
From what I've seen in smog stations in CA, inspectors don't really pass and turn their head the other way in CA unless you have a "special guy" - their licenses are on the line and take it pretty seriously.
I was surprised to see how thorough the technicians were on my last visit in the S2000.

This is what I have been told by EVERYONE on the tuner side of things that I have talked to around here.

Ha ha thanks man, but I ended up having total buyers remorse and sold the manifolds. I decided it'd be better for me to go the aftermarket route with headers/mids instead of retrofitting the SRT8 stuff on the R/T.
So I have these on the way which I'll install myself immediately and then down the road I'll get the JBA shorty headers and have them installed at a shop.

I was just joking dude! We don't have inspections either, I just like the idea of the shorties/mids being direct bolt on so I can piece it together. Plus I hear the long tubes flow so well you lose some low end torque. Who am I kidding, I'll probably end up selling the shorties someday and get long tubes too.

Actually the only issue I had with getting the old stuff off was the drivers side o2 sensor threads got stripped which meant I had to buy a new one for $60 from PepBoys. Otherwise it was pretty easy. The hard part was getting everything lined up. I thought I was good but after my test drive it sounded like my car was going to rattle apart lol. I put it back up on stands, loosened everything, realigned and retightened. Thankfully that was all it was. But between changing the oil, rotating the tires and this it took up most of my Saturday.

Ok here's a comparison video. It's not a huge difference really, more so in person. You might be able to tell in the revs it seems a little meaner/more aggressive. Let me know if you guys here it, too.
