Just bought an 06' QC with 100k on it as my dd.
The cai debate on here is awesome. I initially wanted volant with the snorkel/scoop to the hood but all the collective knowledge here has me leaning towards a k&n. I want the sound, but don't like the open box format. I want more growl than a drop in with the stock box, so we will see. Someday I may consider looks under the hood, but would a 10 with 100k miles on it be show worthy?
Sadly I wasn't very thorough when test driving it or negotiating. The price wasn't a steal and there are some issues. The front seat slides when braking, even slowly. It's got some radial pull, or alignment problems. I noticed that on the long drive from Kentucky, where I bought it, to Kansas, where I go to school. Then today, about three weeks after buying it, the air won't switch from my feet and I can't toggle a/c or temperature for that matter. Plus heated seating doesn't work. Think that is a fuse issue or something deeper?
Once I sell my 05 Daytona I'll get some Lt headers and high flow cats, hopefully billy boat. It already has Magnaflow and I kinda like the popping. Not a lot of people here do it seems. After some research I still have two general performance questions. There is a lot of talk about getting a custom tune from torrie. Is this a person or a company and is it any tuner like bully dog or superchips and they put a custom tune on it? I'm terrible with acronyms but does SCT mean super-chips-tuner?
The second general question is about a Fitch Catalyst. The only post on here I could find called them bs, but I've seen reviews in hemi forums, autoanything, diesel trucks etc. say they are effective. Thoughts for the 8.3l? The age and use of the engine/truck makes it seem like this could be a good purchase for longevity, let alone a little better fuel mileage.
I'd also like to see what people think about suspension (probably won't tow with this), combined with the right tires/wheels. The ram daytona seems smooth compared to this, which is saying something. Its got 24's on it and driving on pavement might as well be gravel. I'll look around the site to see what people say about that stuff.
Sorry for the long post! Here are couple pictures:
