Who keeps a car stock? I bought a daily hatchback to put my kid in the back. Day 1 had it debaged, tinted, window guards. Add free mods, drop in, springs, RCAs, stanced it and more.

If had that Dodge I would mod the shit out of it. Intake/exhaust/tune #1~

As far as me being a n00b, I'm not pretending to be otherwise anywhere I visited so far. I don't know shit. It would be useless to pretend otherwise.

All I'm saying is careful throwing around numbers, car guys can be ruthless and call bulllshit. Be careful about selling shit on the net as gospel it just makes you look bad if it turns out to be bs. That's it bud not trying to throw shade on you.

I will soon find out how much I like Borla mufflers. All stainless 3" through the XR1 mufflers to 2.5" tailpipes. (no tailpipes in the picture)

A little higher pitched than I am used to.. Will drive it tomorrow for the fist time.

Besides that, I'm keeping it as it came from the factory. I ordered the car. I'm getting what I wanted already.

I forgot I'm also going to tint the windows and install an alarm.

For whatever reason I prefer stock and have little interest in mods. Though can defiantly see the appeal of screwing around with stuff like that.

You mean like this site?:)


But point taken. I have no idea or background to tell if numbers are inflated or real.

Is there really a need for an alarm in this day and age? Doesn't the car have anti theft technology built in?

Its a push button ignition isn't it? RFID keyfob?

Right.

The car has a built in alarm, chipped key,(or proximity key) etc. Dont let some dude cut up your shit with some janky aftermarket alarm. He will have to blow the dust off of it in the back room thats how long its been since he last sold one.

One of my neighbors has one of those old school alarms that is, not surprisingly, a over sensitive. Have wondered if it would be legal to have it towed to an open field and torched.

Why would you choke a 3" system with 2.5 tails?? Love the XR1's running the race bullets in my turbo car.

There are some dumbshit teenagers around me. They may think you can smash a window and hot wire the car.ROFL

The anti-theft stuff is not listed on the purchase order. Cool. I've not bought a car in 10 years. Standard stuff these days huh?

Just my preference but I wouldn't be quick to mod that Challenger. Particularly with a special car like that and power modes might just help you ruin tires faster and make it less manageable to have fun with. Maybe an exhaust but imagine it will sound badass right when you get it.

What about paint sealant. How long do you wait before putting it on? I had a guy put it on 10 years ago when I bought my Mustang. Still looks good after 144K miles. Wish I could remember what it was? But anyway surely the tech has come a long ways in 10 years.

Do I buy it myself and put it on? Go professional? Do you guys do this?
