Great tip on the 392 powered cars. Here's a few tips I did as well. Mid muffler...don't delete. Instead, swap them out for Dynomax mini race bullets part #24250. Much more growl and bark, but keeps the drone away. Intake wise, I've run both the Mopar cai w/headlight tube and Hellcat setup...both perform well. After I tweaked the Mopar design a bit to seal it better, it kept the IAT ambient when moving + 20-25* cooler when in traffic than the Hellcat. Once my car is back together, going with a JLT series 2 as my intake setup. Forged, cammed 392 might need to breathe a little deeper..lol

Good advice, sir. I recommend the resonator delete on these cars. When in Track mode and I use the paddle shifters or manual shift option, there is a distinctive "slap" between gear changes. Sounds unreal and much better than any other performance car i've owned - including porsches and a couple of beamers. I'll try to do a GoPro video for all to see/hear. 👊🏼

Thanks man you're a really big help to new Mopar owners.

You nailed it about dealerships putting gas in & not realizing that you don't just put regular in every car. My Stinger GT2, I got back in September recommends premium & when they were taking me to fill up the tank, they hit the regular button. I stopped them & said wait, these recommend premium. Luckily he didn't argue that premium isn't required, as there is a difference & he would of been right, but he did start the process over again at the pump & selected premium for me. The '08 Charger R/T I picked up two days before the Stinger, I always put premium in as well.

Perfect. SRT's can put the power to the ground better than any inside tuning house I've ever come up against. Traction is always my biggest issue. With my 392 SRT 8, I was unable to find any discrepancies with these mods. I use it as a daily driver. Everyone wants better performance and sound. I can crank over 100hp out a stock SRT 4, but the 392s shouldn't be played with. No magic outside of turbos, superchargers or nitrous. Thanks for the vid. -A fellow professional tuner.

Enjoyed your tips mine's a 2012 SRT8 392 but I did buy it used ( I'm the third owner ) but love it .

I know this has been out there but missed the video before. The advice is very sound. I have the older Hellcat hood on mine. I didn't;t mind the extractors but the intake was annoying me as the engine was always dirty. I bought the TA intake kit to make the intake scoop more functional. Did that along with the Hellcat lower airbag and intake tube. Keeps the engine cooler and cleaner. The great thing is while it does block the drivers side extractor there is still large areas around the edge for plenty of heat to get out. For exhaust I am about to order the Xmod myself. I have always had very good luck with magnaflow exhaust on my cars.

Absolutely right about the dealerships filling with unleaded. I bought my scat pack this week and they gave me this treatment 🙄atleast i can look forward to an upgraded performance next week on the refill

I agree about the dealer putting 87. I bought a Jeep SRT and the salesman offer to fill up the tank, luckily I was riding with him because he reached for the 87 and I told him not to because they only use 91 or higher.

All of this is essential information that every owner of this car needs to be aware of. Awesome vid. One thing I’ll share though. My car is dyno tuned, so I have an unlocked PCM. The dealership still honored my warranty when the water pump and pulley went faulty at around 50k miles. Full replacement of the water pump with the newer, supposedly better pulley.

I bought a non widebody 2015 scat pack Challenger (used @ 33k miles) and the previous owner did a resonator delete and put 275s on the front and 315s on the rear. Now the car can really keep the power down.

I do wildlife and outdoor photography so I’m typically leaving my house very very early in the morning and out of respect for my neighbors, I kept my stock exhaust. Now let’s understand something, it’s a stock exhaust setup...hooked to the 6.4 Apache. Even factory bone stock, it is a goddamn terror... especially in the relatively cold DMV winters. Mid muffler delete is good but it’s one of those cars that unless you’re changing things under the hood and doing a proper exhaust swap, there is absolutely no need to do anything to the exhaust. It sounds absolutely glorious as is and once above the 4000 threshold, the valves open up to make it unbelievably barbaric.

Only have an RT but I was surprised that the scats come with 245's too. Not enough tire for the hp.

Great Tips for the “Newbies”. If the Dealer I go to doesn’t know what kind of Gas the Car that they are trying to sell me, I’m going to a different Dealer; Why Dodge, uses the 245’s is beyond me; Even on a 5.7 , They are too Small & Soft. IDK about going & getting new wheels Right after spending 40k+ on a Car. I think Dodge needs to start looking at all the little things that We are discussing concerning The Shortcomings of their Performance Brand;,, Or Maybe making 2 different versions one for the average Joe (DD’s)and one for the Gearheads (street & strip) I know SRT does a great job with the HellCats. But I tried to add everything I could get @ the Stealership but I was on a budget. The best I was able to do was a R/T Plus. And I didn’t come with Remote Start. But that was 2017. Wish Dodge would have a SRT Line that includes more than just Hellcats & Drag paks. Maybe in the near future if they don’t get a new platform; or maybe if They Do! Just my opinion. BTW I just hit 30k on my R/T. Totally Stock. Had some electrical bugs early; so purchased The best FCA extended warranty for 5 more years or 60k whichever comes first. Has a 100 dollar deductible for anything that is not a typical wear item; ie Tires, brake linings, wiper blades, etc. Sorry So Long. Keep up with the excellent content!

Just installed a billet catch can today! Let’s see just what I kept from going into those cylinders I’ll probably check it in 100-200 miles just to see lol

Got a 22’ widebody chally here n did super 10 from flowmasters and it was still very muted, so I ended up taking both the resonators and mufflers off.. and at part to mid throttle it sounds really good but not overly loud, and only gets raspy n raps when shifting in sport or track mode. I know most straight piped cars sound bad but to me it doesn’t sound overly obnoxious n I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on the tone. There is noticeable drone at highway speeds but doesn’t really bother me, and is eliminated when manual upshifting into 7th or 8th gear.

Whew! Dodged the bullet. I was worried I did a no-no. Aside from tuning, I nailed every one of your suggestions - including escorting the dealer over to the gas pump when I took delivery.
