What type of HP gains from these 3 mods with a conservative tune for reliability?
@@FrostbiteRam ^ Chris Reynolds comment do you know the answer ?
Appreciate this video. I'm from Africa where we have no choice but to drive stock cars with small engines, sort of like Europe without the regulations. The first thing I did when I legally immigrated to the US was to get myself a 5.7L Hemi RAM - my dream car. Previously it was unfathomable that a normal bakkie (small truck) can have a legendary engine like a 5.7L Hemi. The first month was great, because as Standard it feels great to have so much power compared to what I'm used to. Then I started to get bored. Why is the throttle response so slow? why can't I hear my Hemi? Why does the engine change rhythm when I'm cruising? I WANT TO UNLEASH THE POWER! So after all my research during this Chinese Virus, I've come to exactly the same conclusion: I already did a lot of aesthetic changes to make my RAM look great (for me) , but it has to be: Cold Air Intake, Long Tube Headers and a decent Tune - and Borla for the sound, but that is optional and debatable... :) Great VID and thank you, I installed the CAI as a first step and what a difference! Next week is the LTH and in a month I'll do the tune! Stay safe and stay healthy.
Right on man mod and enjoy that truck🔧🍻
the hemi equipped vehicles are quiet because of the stock muffler, cat, resonator and air box. so get a cold air intake itll give it a sort of super charger whine, and do a full exhaust id go with either a straight pipe xet up, flow master super 44(on my 06 hemi powered jeep commander) mbrp or borla exhaust kits and a high flow catalytic converter do not reuse the re stock resonator. your hemi will scream fear into others heart. as for the response you need a tune and youll be set.
good luck and enjoy
@@christiansulak4309 Hi Christian, thank you for the advice, I truly appreciate it. I'm finally in the position to start all my orders this week. As mentioned previously, I already have the K&N CAI and what a difference! I already had a great reply from sean @hemifever as well and I'm really excited. I might do a video once I have everything done and give a special shout-out to you guys. Keep on trucking!
People surveyed revealed that instead of giving up their truck for a year:
79% would give up drinking alcohol.
82% would give up Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime Video.
71% would give up drinking coffee.
47% would give up using phone.
44% would give up eating meat.
38% would give up sex.
I live in South Africa and drive a SRT 6.4 Jeep with long tubes, tune and drop-in K&n filter, plenty of mods for any type of car
welcome to america... because africa is is a commie continent.
2013 Ram 5.7 Hemi
I first replaced the 46mm throttle body with a 48mm and installed an SB duel port cold air intake.
I then tuned it with the Edge Tuner.
I enjoyed an awesome power increase and about 2 mpg better gas mileage from 16 to 18 mpg in daily driving. ( depending on my lead foot control)
I plan to put the long tube headers and high flow exhaust next.
Not making a race truck. Just want a little fun. 🤠
A cam, long tubes, full exhaust, a REAL cold air intake (most of them actually just suck in hotter air from the engine bay than the stock intake did), and a QUALITY tune can push a 375hp HEMI to 410-420hp.
Very possible 👍
I have a 07 charge hemi my oil tube won't fit any suggestions
@@vincentjenkins4920 what part exactly?
@@FrostbiteRam the oil tube stick for engine
@@vincentjenkins4920 some people bend it to fit or replace it with a flexible dip stick
I think it is incomplete to say people should get long tubes without mentioning they HAVE to get new midpipes, an unlocked PCM, a tuner, and a custom tune.
Not on challengers 2014 and down, it’s already unlocked
@@2teezyTv or chargers... for all you sedan guys out there.
What is a PCM?
@@francescocobelli9846 computer
@@2teezyTv what about rams?
My first mod was out of necessity and it blew my mind. I got a superchips tuner so I could shut down the MDS system after having problems with the solenoids for the second time. I had them replaced once but the mechanic evidently didn’t drop the oil pan like they claimed and clean out the debris that clogged the solenoids the first time and I am physically unable to do so myself.
The tuner’s improvement on performance over the stock settings is clear, even running 87 with ethanol. When running 91 without ethanol and pulling a 6000lb rv, I could still probably out accelerate the stock settings on 87 with ethanol just because of the raw power and the optimized shift points.
WHAT ENGINE DID YOU USE IT ON AND WHAT TUNER DID YOU USE THANKS BUDDY
@@wranglercjseven69 5.7 hemi with the superchips tuner
Love how you broke this down! Made it super comprehensible!
Long tube headers is the way to go! Huge performance gains!
I've heard that there are some fitment or interference issues going long tubes on the Challenger. Is this true or is it not that big of an issue? I'm looking into this as a first mod for my 2016 Shaker RT.
Just bought a 2023 Durango R/T. Thanks for the video long headers & a supercharger I think will wake this baby up nicely 😊
Good choice!
seen guys with long tubes and a tune running close to scat power for a fraction of the price. Thank you for this video, the 5.7 is so underrated.
I honestly want a pair of rear mounted twins on my challenger, but I figured I’d get more reliability out of a cam, with headers intake and tune. Simple street car is what I’m after..
Sounds like a good setup
I had a 07 charger and if u have a tuner get a 180 thermostat, it cools the motor down further while running and is fairly cheap
On my 2004 I knocked the fan off and installed a 2004 Chrysler 300 electric fans and helped good with throttle response highly recommend this truck had a delay in launch before this instalation and is cheap
Is it bigger than a dodge ram electric fan? How is it possible?
First place I started was the exhaust. Moving onto a better intake so I can put a bigger throttle body on now.
I wish there was a video like this for the 4.7 Ram engine
Junk
Okay, I agree on this list mostly, I wouldn't go the boost route in a 5.7 Hemi, but let me give my basic list of mods
1.- the headers with a high flow cathalitic converter on each end
2.- the tune, but a diablo one
3.- the cold air intake absolutely
4.- a camshaft and MSD delete (I think those are the letters, but basically the system that gets claughteres and trashes your camshaft)
5.- big valves and ported heads on both exhaust and intake.
Note: you will need bigger tires after all this, it can go quite high in power done the right way and using high octane fuel
Note 2: yoh can still expect your engine to last a long time under normal use, but your grand son won't be getting that engine in running conditions like he would if you leave it stock and take proper care of such an engine
You can easily port and match stock header to hemi exhaust. This will improve big time!
True!
I got my suspension worked with FOX reservoir shocks and coilovers 2006 Ram 1500 TRX4 with a factory lift. Now its time for a flash and some more bolt ons. Just got a catback Magna flow and AFE Magnum intake.
Awesome 🤘
From experience if you’re going to do headers do it right the first time like he said, don’t go shortys. But also don’t go cheap I’d much rather have paid 1000+ for the quality ones now knowing how many problems I’ve had with the jba longtubes! Yes it’s more power but the quality is shit they leak, and the fitment was also bad they touch things in the engine bay that cause false knock which reduces timing. Save up do it right the first time. We’ll be much easier to install as well.
The Slopar Ram Channel
Which headers do you recommend?
@@HammerK99 Stainless Works or ARH, then Kooks #3, AFE not as popular but heard they are quality.
I got bbk long tubes heard they are good quality
Good job man thanks for this! It really helps people solidify their movements using your experience
Thanks
and also clutch fan delete and a thermostat is a good one to mention when it comes to the trucks anyways. it cost me 20$ to do that (already had a custom tune)
For sure🤘👍
After Kevin's list, the ATI 15%Underdrive Pulley.
T stats are not good performance upgrades, if you put a low temp t stat in, your car is gonna try and use more fuel to heat the engine up to temp and it’s gonna run rich.
@@lebanon7172 this is why you get a custom tune..................................................................................................................................................................................................
I am enjoying your videos. You are a natural in front of the camera and get straight to the point. I've seen 15 minute videos that could have been done in 3 minutes.
The truck you built is quite the machine. I am not looking for significant gains. When you say "best" does that mean you have tried most other modifications, particular Mopar's Cold Air Intake Ram Air Hood, Vararam Air grabber, AFE Ram Magnum Force Stage 2? Those are just a few I've seen as highly rated. Also, what about Edge Pulsar, PedalMax vs the Diablo Sport you recommended. I guess what I want to know is whether you've tried these and whether you have an opinion about them because they are all salty to me, but seem highly recommended by others. As I said, I want modest gains, including the option of getting even better mileage during no load long distance highway trips. This would be for my first-ever 2021 Ram 1500 with a 5.7L. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work.
The absolute best bang for the buck will be getting a programmer and atleast running the canned tunes but getting custom tunes even better.
Thanks man very informative and a lil help with direction with start of mods with my 5.7 Hemi in Ram .
It would have been nice to see some Dyno testing after each item was added
THANK YOU SO MUCH. A TOTALLY AWSOME VIDEO AND TOTALLY AWSOME UPGRADES.
Glad you liked it!
I’ve had 4 Ram 1500s 03 08 14 and 19 the first 3 had exhaust air intake and computer tuner the 14 ran consistently 14.2 at track this being a 4 door 4x4 weight was 5700 pounds had to launch in 4 hi then turn off truck had a anti spin 3.21 The current one which is a warlock has cold air and exhaust waiting for a chip due to pcm unlocking but truck has a 3.92 gear already feels faster so after having 4 rams the 3.92 gear seems biggest gain And I ran all rams up to 150k never repeat never any motor or transmission issues
Great information 🤘👍
Did you run a street tune on your 2014 for gas mileage or just same tune all the time?
How was the 08? I just bought one
Josh Hodgdon full service every 60 k trans and diffs second owner made it to 250 k water pump when out and he pushed it and lost motor put a reman in it he has 306 k on it now again nobody ever services there cars but if you do they run forever
I got the 2 year unlimited mile aftermarket warranty just incase the tranny goes or something. Heard they were crap along with rearends but like you said nobody services them and bitch when they break. Has 130 k on it trying to figure out if I want to run conventional oil or a semi synthetic high mileage oil. From what I have read even supertech oil is actually damn good especially for the price
Bro great information, i am looking to start modding my charger rt. By the way u look a little bit like undertaker😅😅
Went with American racing long tubes with high flow cats now to get a custom tune with greene racing. your truck build is a big influence on my build
Thats awesome man arh is good stuff.
What high flow cats did you choose?
@@Obrim34 the headers comes with the option to get cats or just run them straight
Sadly I gotta keep my cats on so no long tubes for me. But I did just order some short tunes to get rid of the manifold
that sound bit in the begning is from the show my name is earl lol love that show
💪right on
Wish I could install long headers but I'm in Cali has to have that Carb
Great video and I’m well underway in my build and this video gave me some slight different ideas. Thanks for this!
Awesome 👍
So, I’m not trying to drag race my truck. I haul quite a bit of weight in it all the time and I tow a trailer with it frequently. I did install an exhaust cut out, right after the cats because I still have to pass smog and I drive it up and down I5 often. I just rebuilt the engine in January but couldn’t afford any mods. Given what I use my truck for what’s your standpoint? It’s an 06 ram 2500 5.7. Probably weighs about 9-10k as it sits. I carry chains and cables and snatch blocks and a bunch of other stuff all the time.
Great modification advice 👍 will be making mods soon!
💪
I live in Texas. I do not know if you know about a shop called Spikes performance. Well, I went to ask for a tune for my 17 ram 1500, they told me that need to send the computer of the truck to another state to unlock the computer and then they will tune the truck
Yes or you buy a unlocked pcm. Thats the problem with today's new stuff.
Thank you so much brother for the info so much help to us that are new to all this! Thanks so much for the amazing explanation !
My pleasure!
So long tube headers to the factory cats? 02 sensors?
On the ram, 4 wd, transfer case takes up a lot room,
06 2500 hemi 6 speed, took out the y pipe, running true duals, but allways curious with the headers...
In my opinion CAI can't make ambiant air, colder.
Best bank for the buck is keep up on them 16 copper plugs.
Long tube headers are a good choice outside of California. But now if you are in California the long tubes arent really a option.
I had my challenger dyno 393/418 with just headers.
Thats great 👍
I JUST WANNA DO BURN OUTS AND SOUND COOL TBH
This all applies to Dodge Ram, Dodge Durango, Dodge Magnum, Chrysler 300, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Commander, Dodge Charger, Chrysler Aspen, and Dodge Challenger 5.7L HEMI V8 Models
I have a 2012 R/T 1500 5.7 hemi reg cab with 104340 miles in mint condition. Does it make sense modifying this engine with high milage, your thoughts please.
Thats not high miles send it
Long tube good for offroading or overlanding?
Better always lol
Very nice commentary, thanks! On my 2019 RAM 1500 5.7L, if I do the headers, tune and CAI - will that cause me to fail my state emissions testing (required every two years)?? I would be retaining cats and keeping all monitors on in the tune. Thanks again!
Awesome
Great. I have a 05 Ram 2500 quad SLT magnum 5.7 hemi 4wd and a 38 foot fifth wheel. I'm really pushing max tow capacity. So I don't need more speed necessarily but believe I need another say 1000 1bs of towing capacity and umph getting up steeper hills or long inclines. So does this mean more torque is needed above anything else? With my goals in mind do you think I should I still follow the order of this video or do these mods in a different order of priority?
If you want torque gains for towing I'd would get the tuner or custom tuning from frptuning.com and some longtubes would be ideal.
This guy is basically talking about race applications.... Long tube are definitely way to go for that scenarios.. but street/ towing I just did shorty JBA headers due to leaky stock manifolds, and they bolted right up to stock y pipe.... I noticed a diff. immediatley. Only other Mod I have is Flowmaster cat back that was already installed..... I will get AFE intake and then tune... be happy with whatever it amounts too.
Have you noticed an mpg increase at all?
I have a 2010 dodge ram 1500 with longtubes, CAI, diablo tuner, high flow cats, dynoed, and a gibson cat back exhaust. I'm trying to get more out of my Ram I'm looking into cylinder heads, a ported intake, and a fast man throttle body atm. I'm hoping one day I'll make 500 hp but atm I'm not doing to hot with that.
Don't waste money on the throttle body not worth it
@@FrostbiteRam what do you think of the ati super damper is that worth it? I was debating on replacing my harmonic balancer anyway.
Nice video. I live in socal so shortly headers are my only options.
Gotcha shorties is better than nothing 👍
Is it possible to get rid of that electronic gas peddle crap on a 2003 ram 2500
It's possible but tuning can make it great
I have magnum going to put shorty headers and hi flow cats
Thanks!! I'm about to go in on my 2020 Ram 1500 Limited trim. 5.7 Hemi
I want to as well with my durango 2020 but the wannanty 🥺🥺🥺
Best First Mods to get for your 5.7
01. Replace Stock Headers with Long Tube Headers
02. Tuner, to optimize your mods
03. Third Air Intake Kit or Super/Turbo/ Pro Charger.
I would add #4 - aftermarket muffler and/or catback exhaust.
Wouldn't it be best to add the tune at the end to make it all flow best together
What I did was long tube headers catless and exhaust
Then 90MM Throttle body
Then ported intake and true vent cold air intake
Then upgraded the ignition and coils
Then did a tune to see where I was at
Next was 408 stroker and 233 Comp cam and heads and another tune
@@alyssadraculesti what are your whp
@@ElJoeRN U can update most of theses tuners
Jba shorties dont flow better that oem manifolds some guy on tuned rams page proved it hes got a youtube channel too
They flow alot better than stock Durango manifolds for sure
BS....Anything flows better than stock Ram manifolds...I dont buy your comment.
Damn bro I just got shortys installed on my 2014 ram 1500 I told shop I wanted long tube and they talked me into shortys because they said my transfer case would be in the way ... smh .. now I want to blow up there shop 😫 lol
Longtubes fit perfectly on 4x4 tons of people have them. Sounds like they just didn't want to install them because it is a little bit more work.
Upgraded coil packs too
No need the stock coil packs work the best actually many have proven this.
I was on my way to getting long tubes for my Challenger, but my truck needed a new catalytic converter to pass emissions. 😩
Dang🤦♂️
What if you are just wanting power for towing & driving? I'm not interested in racing my truck.
I'd recommend a towing tune
@@FrostbiteRam but still get long pipes, program and intake?
@@marcogomez5198 if just towing i would just get a custom towing tune myself
Thanks dude this helped me understand whats important for my 5.7 hemi.
What tuner do you recommend for ram 1500 5.7?
Diablo or hp tuners
Doing this to jeep hemi commander Nd a cam wit full bolt ons
Awesome man
didn't know a five speed could go that fast at least i think it is because of the short 3rd gear
I had my 5speed down to 11.8 now I have a built 4speed 46re and currently best is 11.6 in the heat hopefully 10s in the fall
Just got a 2500 dodge with a hemi 5.7 but can’t find long tube for less then $1900 can I used the ones for the dodge 1500 5.7 hemi ? I’m start watching your videos thanks for posting
I'm curious, in every mod vid I've seen where the narrator rattles off the Mopar makes with the 5.7 Hemi, no one ever mentions the Chrysler 300C. Why is that?
I have some 300 vids
I would love to put headers and tuner on brand new ram limited, but sounds like it reduces reliability long term no? And for long tubes, shouldn’t you add an exhaust with that?
I have a 2009 Ram 1500 5.7. Going with Shorty Headers since I have a cracked exhaust manifold and two snapped bolts and figure I might as well replace both sides. Not really interested in tricking out. Just want reliable performance. Am I missing anything? Most shops around here won't touch headers and bolt extraction, but I did find one. Thanks for this video.
yes i did and max speed is same as stock(it is faster 0-60 , 1 sec)
So what you did to all three the headers the tuner and a cold intake
@@jeffcombest6466 yes, all 3 things, and cold air is combination between ram and cold air-kn is in closed box,and air comes through hole near by left fog light through air duct and on high speed there is some over pressure and 4.thing is waiting-camshaft from 6.1. yesterday i drove 255km/h on slight downhill and with tail wind
Frostbite Ram, I'm Wondering if long headers run louder then the normal noise of a stock engine. And if so how much of a difference. Thanks and great video
They will be a little louder but if you run quality mufflers it can be Very mellow and quiet if you want.
I was wondering the same thing because I'm running super 10 flowmaster but I run the resonators on the tail pipes I was told if you eliminate the resonators it'll be louder
@@jeffcombest6466 add a cut off before the resognater
Would this work on a gen3?
In your opinion, do you recommend adding performance mods to a 21 Durango rt? Of course doing so would void warranty..so is it worth it?
Going faster is always better 😜
I have a 2002 dodge durango which had a 4.7 and now has a 5.7 out of a 2002 1500 ram. Do these recommended upgrades apply to what I want to do with my Chevy Killer? ( Durango)
Thank you, this is very interesting and informative. Can you advise/indicate two brands of each 3 modifications that I could either import or purchase in Australia? I have a 2012 Jeep GC WK2
Have a question man can I just get a programmer at summit and be good I have 04 dodge ram 1500 5.7 hemi wuth long tube headers
How much horse power could i add max to a jeep grand cherooke overland 5.7 v8
All depends on tuning and setup I'm probably making close to 600whp on a stock 5.7
What brand cold air intake and headers do you recommend?
I like the mopar intake and best bang for the buck is jba or Texas speed headers
@@FrostbiteRam thank you
@@FrostbiteRam did you see any mpg gains?
Cold air intake.. you mean the ones that are open to the engine and suck in hot air?
Not the one I used lol😉
I have a stock pre eagle 05 hemi ram 1500 I want more power so desperately I have a diablo tuner but nothing else other than a very primitive CAI. I mix a little 100 octane with my 93 but it's getting expensive and I need about 50 more hp and I would be happy. I'm guessing I'm at 400 to the crank and I want 450 at least ultimately I want to stroke it but for now I just have a low mile reman and want to essentially make a hellcat clone with a stroker kit and supercharger but that's a ways off for now I can only work with what I can afford thanks for the info. I'm a manager of a restaurant I don't have money some guys do so I can only do mine by saving up and buying what I can afford. Right now tires are almost.ost 2 grand for 35s so nothing about this is cheap but it's def worth it
What about a 4.7 magnum 2004 dodge 1500?
What is the best way to go for towing a 7000 lb RV
A custom towing tune would be best bang for money
Great video man 👍
Thanks
I bought a 04 ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi fir 1500 $ now im just 18 and im out of high-school I know maybe I should put a cold air intake on it to give it some more air and probably a better throttle body honestly I just dont know how to do that and im scared honestly to because what if I blow my transmission and im stuck with nothing
You have to replace leaking oe ram exhaust manifolds anyways... might as well install the long tube headers then.
How about a 4.0l Toyota Tacoma?
I went with 6.1 SRT shorty headers with the cats from a 6.1 added a Diablo tuner too. Added a Cold Air intake and a 180 Mishimoto Stat (ended up being a bad decision with this brand swapping out this week to a Milodon ) 6.1 water pump. 2005 Magnum R/T
How does the magnum run now after the mods?? I lm thinking about beefing up my rt
@@grandtrey182 went with the 6.1 water pump and the Mildon stat. Upgraded to a electrical Dorman 620-039XD fans. Engine Cooling...run around 186-192 on a hot 91degree Florida day. I am having an issue when I turn the AC on though the car temps begins climb into the low 200. This not normal for my car since I have owned it since 2008. I believe is might be the condenser. The upgrades have been amazing I even upgraded to an SRT eight rear end. I rebuilt the motor for years ago make sure you get a oil catch can as a priority because his motors have horrible blow back. I
upgraded my coils because 2005 had to take all the rat nest. So I went with a newer electrical harness ignition coils from mopar 2021.
Recommended tuner for rams?
Hp tuners is the best now days
I have a 2010 long tube headers
Cold air intake
Cat delete
Pedal commander
Need ro get rid of the check engine light dor deletes any info be great
Try o2 extensions

Hello awesome video im new to the truck scene. i have a 19 ram. you said headers. now are they called exhaust headers?
Yes longtubes is best
Okay great. Does it do anything for horsepower like the video says
At the beginning of the video, That 2nd to 3rd shift sounded a little weird
Yeah that trans is gone lol we got a new racing trans now😉
@@FrostbiteRam sweet. I traded in my 2015 Jeep SRT and I loved how it shifts in sport mode. I’m researching to see if I can get my 2020 ram 1500 to shift the same way. I miss the aggressive way the Jeep shifted. The truck shifts too smooth for my liking LoL
What’s better? Turbo or supercharged?
They both have different advantages so depends on your use and goals really.
I'm throwing some shorty headers on mine
They definitely help but you will get way better gains with longtubes.
I want just a bit extra power and some better sound on a budget and since I'm diy I DNT wanna spend the whole week finessing long tubes. And she is my daily driver and work horse.
Short tubes actually don’t increase power it’s been proven
Lot of pickup guys say get shorty headers for power gain in the low rev range where trucks need it for hauling.
What tuner do you recommend?
Hp tuners and frptuning.com
What are some good header to use I have a 5.7 challenger I just did my exhaust I want to do long tube headers next than cam
Ahahah I needed to keep watching you just answer my question lol
Awesome
After these mods...will it still pass smog?
It should but not sure about cali
What’s the Best tuner for 5.7 hemi challenger?
Hp tuners is the best
Sound advice. It’s where I started.
Thanks🤙
How come i wud have to remove the new cold air intake if i want to turbo my vehicle?
Because the turbo replaces alot of the plumbing.
My question is I plane doing a pedal master elctric cutoff and a cold air, but with after market headers can thy handle long distance travel without having to worry about the welds breaking or getting to hot?
Good headers won't fail.
Will any of this void your warranty?
Definitely
I’m not so sure I agree with your police work here Lou.
What programmer do you use?
