Elaborate some on the power - the way the car acts and drives. I haven’t pulled the trigger yet on the supercharger but I like the idea of not pulling the intake manifold and with the centrifugal I keep the shock tower brace. Just asking your input on performance and is the centrifugal noisy?
Hope your deal happens like you want it to.
Mine is 2024 Blue Ember appearance and handling package, 700A with the tremec. Car was made in 9/24, stickered 76,705 I paid 72,810 in 4/2025. I added the Steeda H-pipe (used the standard clamps with no issues in more than 2500 miles). It sounds...
Which did you replace and with what? I already changed out the sub but I’d probably do the ones I. The package tray if they are easy enough to remove.
It’s my hotrod. A fair weather car. Road trips, etc. I’m going to supercharge it by spring and read in several places that cats won’t live with a supercharger. True or not? IDK. Everybody’s got an opinion not necessarily based on data.
Smell.
I already have the h-pipe I just want to add headers and I have to decide on cats or not. I’ll be fine with the way it sounds just don’t want to smell the exhaust with windows down.
Put it on a pull, uphill grade at about 3K and switch the mode from quiet or normal to track and back. Its very noticeable. If it’s not I think you got jipped.
I don’t want it to smell like a 69 Mach 1 with a 292 magnum. đź’
Probably better stick with the OE exhaust. I already installed a H-pipe so that might have to do.
I’m going to buy and install the whipple over the winter. Is there any detriment to long tubes without the cats? I mean service engine light, something like that? I don’t want any issues but feel like the headers would be a benefit with the supercharger. I don’t think state inspection is any...
The paint wipes off with brake cleaner. The tips are stainless under the paint and are easy to polish. I did just the inner rings and painted the outer black again with VHT.
The factory black paint wipes off the tips with some brakleen. They are stainless underneath and easily polished to a high shine and looks much better that way. Gives the car some brightness.
Yeah zoomed way in I see that they are. And 35s, so quite a bit taller than the OE tires. Looks good and probably makes the 3.73s better, assuming it’s a manual.
Dark Horse handling package rears are 11” and the 10.5” fronts have more offset, are deeper on the front side. The lug nuts are recessed in further than the on the rear wheels. I haven’t tried to put the rear on the front for any reason but guessing they won’t clear the front calipers.
