Probably my favorite mod to my car aside from the tune

No problem man!

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful

Thank you!

Mine is not the 50 state one because for some reason I was sent the “platinum” version or whichever one ends in -R. Not sure if they’ll still ship those ones here though. If you buy the locked version ive heard that they can unlock it remotely but you’ll want to call and ask them first

Glad I could help. Thank you for watching!

That's an awesome deal! I bet the car sounds significantly better with the JBAs and Borlas

The hardest part is really the biggest part which is bolting them up. A few of the bolts are really far up there and hard to wrench in

I had the 91 octane tune that came on the Diablo thing. Those were the only things done to the car besides exhaust

I'm getting mines Dyno I should have done 1 stock slowly working on my ride

Thanks man! Honestly - Im not exactly sure on the exact torque measurement. You just have to be reallyyyy carefule not to strip the bolt in the block. You dont have to go too tight because there is a gasket

I LOVE the 300. That thing is gonna sound like a beast. When you get it set up post some videos Id love to see

What size did you get for the shortys??? Will any size fit?

I think mine are 1 7/8.

Humanoid 77 thanks bro! Yea I have the exact same car as you . How is it now a year later?

I like the tone with the magnaflow cat back exhaust, It's not obnoxiously loud but noticeable. Very noticeable when getting on expressway/parkway. Lol. You can feel a little more pull from a dig and at the low to mid rpm curve. I had to bring it back to the shop to have a header bolt tightened on the drivers side. It came loose and had exhaust leak. The shop said that it happens with these types of headers. (I dont know about that) had them installed last year in March 2019 and brought it back to have the exhaust leak fixed in jan. 2020. Aside from that it's been ok.

I should probably get a custom tune... but there's a lot in store for this car so I dont wanna fork out that money JUST yet

It is possible to get them unlocked but it can void the warranty. I got a Diablo tuner and had them unlock my pcm

How much did the installation cost? I'm looking to get long tubes for my hemi

You’re right about the heat soak part, I don’t know why I didn’t mention that. But, I must also add that any time you’re heating and cooling a metal like that, you’re exposing it to cracking. A big “materials science” thing. With regards to those numbers you threw out, I would say those are on the high side, but not impossible. I bought some Percy’s gaskets. Otherwise, you’re on point!

DonnyR/T when you hear of cracks it will most likely be the exhaust manifolds. The manifolds will crack because of the porosity of the cast iron and temp change. Most of the headers for our Hemi cars are made from 409 or 304 stainless, with anywhere between 16-18 gauge tubing and good thick 3/8 flanges. Cracks that happen on short tube headers on our cars are extremely rare. The cracks that headers will develop will happen 90% of the time at the welds. This will happen because of vibration or if you have long tubes and a lowered car. The cracks from vibration at the welds can be poor penetration, the wrong rod, or contamination. Headers are by far the best bolt on to net power you could buy, unless your car comes with them like the SRT does. It’s no wonder why they come factory installed. If you look at real before and after dyno runs on 5.7 Hemi’s you’ll see mid teen RWHP gains.

Ah yes. I was only looking at top end power. The mid range gains are pretty nice. With shorties the car started breaking loose at 30 rolls. Don’t get me wrong, the shorty headers are the best mod I’ve done to the car

No

I'm not really sure what you're referring to

@@DonnySRT in this video your car was making some awesome downshift noises and I was just wondering if the tune amplified that

@@seanmiller3500 At this point it was only the diablo 91 octane tune

@@DonnySRT oh that’s it?? So is that the only tune I need for shorty headers?

@@seanmiller3500 cold intake makes that sounds

Still figuring that part out. I need to make sure it is still smog legal

@@DonnySRT is it smog legal?

I still haven't decided but I know the ones that I am NOT going with if that makes sense

If you leave your cats you don't need a tune. But it's recommended

Go to the shop if you going pay that much for it get it done right so you can better understand it

Long tubes are better for that

@@DonnySRT short tubes won't help me

Bbk headers

Absolutely! Tuning is a necessity! You'll love those shorties. Also, I've heard great things about upgrading the factory catalytic converters. Aftermarket ones are pretty expensive though

@@DonnySRT just got the shortys today lol, waiting for them to arrive now!

What shortys did you go with?

Tashawn Valentine I went with bbk shorties it was part number 4028 but i actually ended up returning the shorties and i got long tubes and hi flow cats now

@@k.hamilton5848 how that turn out

They've been great. I prefer these Borlas over the other brands because Im not a fan of that chambered sound. These sound the best to me! No issues with police either but Im also a pretty mild driver

@@DonnySRT awesome! And it's been playing nice with the JBAs so far?

@@americainmuscle3456 Whoops I didnt realize you were talking about the JBAs my bad haha. Yea, I love the combo. No issues. The JBA Headers actually make it sound a little more "gurgly" and they also lessened the drone I was getting

@@DonnySRT ey I could have been more clear😂 and that's good to hear man, funny how someone's got almost the exact same set up as me in California JLT and borla S-type and all lol

@@americainmuscle3456 It's a pain in the ass with all the CARB regulations and stuff man. These were some of the only parts we could get here haha

Diablo Trinity T2. Used the canned 91 oct tune

ayyy gotta love the Magnum! And yea, drone isn't something I like to hear lol

pblackjac rtfs is the drone n does it add sound? N wassup with the shorty headers?

@@mexicanhemi3753 I only got the Shortys because the engine was being replaced, and I took advantage of that. I already had the JBA catted mid-pipes (they are a cheaper and better replacement for the O.E.) so they fit right in. Also had the JBA cat-back. Had resonators welded in too. The Shortys will also work with the factory mid-pipes.

I have a 05 rt maggie and am looking to get headers. Just dont know with wich brand to go with since i just hear bbk headers crack? Currently the maggie its straight pipe.

@@rhurtadorh32 I haven't had a problem with the JBA shortys. I have two recommendations. 1) Do not use the supplied gaskets. Get the O.E. gaskets. 2) Get the coated headers. Better for corrosion resistance.

The torque melts my poor 275s! Eventually when I get it all setup ill get some good Nittos or something

@@DonnySRT Make sure you get a Throttle Body Spacer, everybody gets them, its like +35Hp to the wheels

Fred_eazy21 hey man wassup with that throttle you mentioned?

Does a tune void your warranty?

I need that then I just order mine this evening have a sound clip if you like an my set up

At this point in time I had the diablo 91 octane tune loaded up

Fullblown performance can install them

The Diablo canned tune is carb legal

What questions do you have?

DonnyR/T what’s the different between shorties and long tubes

That’s a loaded question haha. Shorties are typically better for low end torque, are cheaper, and are more emissions friendly. Long tubes will require modification to mod pipes, are louder, better for top end, but also more expensive

DonnyR/T see but I don’t know if my car will ever see the track to yk

DonnyR/T but I would like to do street races

Moderate increase in volume. Wasn't huge

For 15+ cars ya

I would guess like 10 peak. You also have to look at the powerband throughout the RPMs though, as shorty headers are good for low end power

At the time of filming it was the canned diablo tune

I believe so. Is it rwd?

Yea rwd

Yea then you should be good

Thanks bro appreciate it

@@ReptarART if your waiting a few more.... I got the Flowmaster shorty headers last Memorial Day weekend on line... $100 off.

As of right now, it has the canned diablo 91 octane tune

@@DonnySRT ok I just got the jba shorty headers with high flow cats and I have a flowmaster cat back exhaust didnt know if I could use one of those they dont explain what each tune does

Yea man, it’s always better to get a custom tune, but even the 91 oct made a world of a difference on my car. Have you installed those mods yet? The car should have way more “get up” now!

@@DonnySRT No I'm actually going to do it tomorrow I can't wait to see the sound difference and hp gains. I appreciate you writing back

Nice! Those 6.4s basically have shorties from the factory

I got 6.1 stock headers on my 06 rt

Life with flex how did it go

When I filmed the video I only had the tune that came with the Diablo but a real email tune would be better

Just the diablo 91 tune.

Those are a good option

I was wondering if you you can help me put it on please

diablo tuner and unlocked pcm

Shorties are CARB legal

Yea man - I got the 6.4 gaskets but the problem is that passenger side bolt - Ill torque em down when I pull the engine apart this may. Might also throw on some long tubes ;)

They definitely do give you added gains anytime you can create a negative vacuum and optimal flow you'll see growth in the range

Other way around.. these dont give muvh sound...

False! Long tubes kill low end torque just a little, but make up for it with big top end gains. So if ur not redlining ur motor driving around town, shorty headers might be the better choice. Shorty's (in most cases) increase low end torque which could be more beneficial for stoplight races.

@@Likethisjob oh really nice

That is not the case for these motors, and it has been proven by countless dyno experiments. On older cars and other motors that is a possibility

It certainly has its pros and cons. Definitely not a modded-car friendly state
