manual cutouts

dsalogia — Wed, 16 May 2012 23:17:51 GMT

I have been reading recent threads about cutouts and wanted to get feedback about manual ones.. i have borla T with main muffler deleted and reso still intact..sounds awesome and has very litte if any drone. my 06 srt a few years back had stock exhaust with reso delete and had horrible drone...anyway, was looking into manual steel 3" cutouts and was wondering if i could even get under srt everytime i wanted to remove or close off. i am at stock height. dont want to spend the money on electric + install and for under $100 manual ones are affordable..anyone have a set and is opening and closing a pain? dont care about getting on the ground just want to make sure i could even reach in there.

Exhaust Tips 5"

Rocky31186 — Wed, 16 May 2012 23:02:33 GMT

Finally got to upgrade to MBRP 5" tips.

At first off the truck was like "Holy crap these are huge.. will they fit"........ (Insert THATS WHAT SHE SAID)..

The powder coat was bubbling and looking rough, so I sanded them down to bare metal and repainted with high temp black, and high temp clear.. Gloss outside, Flat black inside.

I bent the axle back pipes myself ( I did custom exhaust for 4 years)

BEFORE, I had pipes in place of reso's.. So I still had factory piping that was super long.

So I shortened my exhaust by about 4', and added the 5" tips.. Sounds MEAN. I always wanted it a little bit louder, and now I have it.

Edmunds insideline now has a wk2 srt8 in its long term test fleet

Just saw they added a fully loaded wk2 srt jeep to the long term fleet. Should be interesting to read their thoughts over all those miles. Gad mileage looks bad right now but they haven't even put 1k miles on it yet.

Cleveland OH info wanted

TonySRT8 — Wed, 16 May 2012 21:06:11 GMT

This sunday the 20th I'll be running the Cleveland marathon. We are staying at the Hyatt Regency Cleveland at the Arcade hotel.

We are going to also see the Rock and Roll hall of fame, the Cleveland Aquarium, and maybe the Botanical Garden if it is worth seeing.

My son wants to eat at the hard rock one night, but can I get suggestions on other places to see and eat?

We are staying saturday thru tuesday. I need at least someplace saturday night that has pasta to continue with my carb loading for the next days race.

Thanks

Tony

Keeping Electric Cutouts Open

rglax — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:49:18 GMT

Recently got QTP electric cutouts installed on the Jeep and I love the sound when theyre open. As of now they default to close automatically when the Jeep is shut off. Does anyone else have any experience in keeping them open all the time and only closing then when you activate it with the button? It said something about grounding/not grounding one of the wires but I cant find that piece of paper.

battery drain after mygig install

pmpn8ez — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:40:47 GMT

Anyone have any insight on how to correct this??

I have a new optima red top from like 3 months ago, so its not time for a replacement

Only thing I did recently was do a mygig retrofit....been getting hard starts for a week, then it was dead as a door knob 4 hours after I did the clock fix and software update after work

Im almost sure its this, because I unhooked the mygig harness completely and the car is running/starting just fine

any insight how to correct this issue???

is there additional updates/TSB's or a way to maybe hardwire the unit in or something???

Thanks for ANY input

SemperP-SRT8 — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:20:19 GMT

About to start data logging for my Johan toon. Is it better to to one long (45min) log or break it up into shorter ones? Was going to do it on the way out to moparpalooza which is about a 45min drive for me. Thanks guys!

Mopar rear spoiler coming off

Canadian SRT8 — Wed, 16 May 2012 12:21:03 GMT

OK I put it over a month ago it started to lift in the center . I cleaned with alcohol and made sure no wax was left it still popped in the center . It did have a slight bend so you needed to put pressure on it to grab the middle .On the weekend i took it off and cleaned it all then put even more 3M 1/2" 2 rows so an 1" all the way across and yesterday in the sun i guess it let go again . Has anyone used silicone on it I know it would be impossible to get off but at this point I don't care I just don't want it to release on the highway ? Also can it be heated up to get the bend out when it sits on the gate then center is over an 1"off the body ? Oh I also left a battery on it over night to let it set .

Place for cam/header install????$$$$

NavajoSRT8 — Wed, 16 May 2012 06:18:02 GMT

Hey fellas, I am in Delaware, its been a while and a rough time finding time to do anything to my baby.

I checked with HHP here in DE to do the install, im looking at a starting price of $2000 :eek:. They want to charge me full hours as separate jobs. So I was estimated around 23hours, although the rig will be taken apart to do one job, so it shouldn't take that long to do the next piece.

Yeah my brother has a lift in his garage but timing is always bad, is there a cheaper place in DE to get installed?

I have my AR headers w/extensions, Little boy +4 cam, and UDP w/belt, plus all new bolts, ready to go. Also from my understanding the littleboy is closer to stock so i should have to change out the springs which is why i didnt buy them.

Any ideas feel free to respond...P.S local fellas I will also be down OC this Saturday for cruise weekend.
Thanks
