Here is a video clip I took from outside the vehicle. Johan from diablosport came through again with a quick tune putting the rear 02's in closed loop so I could drive her home. The exhuast is off here to get polished etc. The race mufflers are tiny and will bring down the sound a few decibels and the huge x-pipe will balance out the exhuast harmonics a bit more.



All 4 doors have 2 layers of dynomat, which quiets the cabin considerably. I still have plenty left and need to do the floorboard and headliner.



A preview of my new exhuast setup built by @ocmufflerman. @ocmufflerman works on all makes and models, but he seems to do a lot of big stuff on older muscle cars. I'm really digging the x-pipe, which is a big giant piece incorporating the midpipes, X, and mid pipes. The @ocmufflerman race mufflers are a nice touch as well. The race mufflers are the pieces at the end of the x-pipe.

 

So half of the stuff came back from Baid Polish... It's going to be a tight fit on scheduling to get everything done before spring Fest.





Masked off some areas of the rear end of the exhaust to put some extra work in.





The Fore fuel Rails and crossovers are now polished (originally black)



Installed the rails to get a jump start on the supercharger install. Was able to tuck the front crossover and then realized I was able to tuck the rears as well with some tinkering.





The rear crossover now tucked:



Rear 2010 Challenger axles painted gold:



Putting some work in on the 2010 Getrag. This will be painted as well.



Off the goes to get the Supercharger done:







The main Supercharger bracket powdercoated. It wasn't the color I wanted, but time crunches unfortunately change things;

 

Some daily driver... Where can I see this in Socal!!! I will be there 3/21-3/29!!!

You'll be here just in time for the event this is prepping for on 3/22 at the Verizon Ampitheater in Irvine.

Spring Fest 9 right down the street from the irvine spectrum.

 

Cant wait to hear how it sounds with the SC installed!! But the clip you posted is a bit too loud and rough IMO hopefully the new exhaust will be better. What's your ETA on the install?

 

Damn that car is Money good choices definitely went the right rout right off the bat!

 

Lol that was open header. The x-will balance out the "roughness" of the exhaust note, but the cam will naturally have a lope. The race mufflers are pretty small so it will probably bring the note down a bit, but I was aiming for loud since most 300 guys tend to only rice out their cars with very little performance. I can't wait to hear the whine too. On a side note, the ID1000's may have a rough idle considering I'm not running dual pumps. Even though ID's are known for their great tuneability, I know that I'm asking a lot of them for this current setup so fingers crossed.

ETA is next week 3/19 or 3/20. If all goes smooth I'm going to slap the exhaust on, headlights, and 2010 SRT challenger rear end with LSD & axles

 

Thanks.

 

I know that orange balloon!!! Ok sounds good. We are going to hit up the C&C that morning then head that way.

Chris

 

Cool you should be able to register as a spectator. Food and tickets are free. Food is pretty damn good too

 

Here are some progress pics of the rear section of the exhaust. The piping is High Temp Metallic gold, powdercoated black exhaust tips w/ Gold rings. For some reason the fluorescent lights along with the clearcoat makes the rings look yellow, but they are actually gold. It didn't come out as clean as I wanted, but it will do for now.



Here is a major TEASER pic of what's coming down the pike from Essential Lites w/ love from TRS (aka The Retrofit Source).

There aren't going to be any halos...we will post more revealing pics on Instagram (@e85hemi & @essentiallites) up until Spring Fest. This is going to be the retrofit that will push the envelope for the LX chassis.

And no we're not doing halos...

 

Shoutout to Jon @ AMP, Chris@LMI, Stu @ Inertia, Noremac, and Neil Tjin from Vortech with of the support for this next stage of the build.

I decided to just buy new air filters for the SC kit while we're at it. Pretty cool that Spectre offers the filters in white.





Another teaser shot from @essentiallites today slowly revealing what we've been plotting and planning for a minute.

The light coming from the q45 projectors are actually DRL's / parking lights that will switch off when the projectors kick on. The led strip on the outer edge of the projectors as long as the relocated signal drilled out on the headlight housing will be my new blinkers.

 

u update naow!!!

 

SRS build is SRS build! Pretty, angry and thirsty all in one package! Love it

 

I apologize for the delay guys. We were busy tinkering away for Spring Fest 9 and had a lot of varying issues arise.

Here is a photo showing a stock 300c headlamp vs. 1 Single Q45 Retrofit vs. A Dual q45 retrofit setup:



The Quad q45 setup from Essential Lites. All metal brackets and most importantly looks stock from the back with rubber seals and all.



Parking lights on. These are not HiD's on at this point. These are reverse mounted XBLED's (aka Halos) from The Retrofit Source. Yes, we wanted to do something different and didn't want to do the "typical halos."



HID's vs. signals on! A hole was drilled out to fit an amber LED blinker bulb and the "rings" are actually strategically placed LED strips from The Retrofit Source. You have to look really, really close to see them.

 

All engine panels etc were removed to make it easy to work with the supercharger install. Here's the initial bracket etc mounted up.



Here it is with FMIC and piping run. The piping on the driver said was a head scratcher, but we soon figured out that it needed to be modified lol



After battling with the Supercharger install with hiccup after hiccup it is on and ready to go:



We then headed over to the @OCMufflerman to get the exhaust installed. Yeah, the welds could have been cleaner but the last minute decision to make a splash at Spring Fest really put us in a bind.





The race mufflers sit just before the rear flanges:

 

The final push is Real!!! The car was finally buttoned up at 3am the day of the show. With all of the hard work put in and all of the support received from Diablosport, AMP, BFNY, Inertia, etc. It was truly rewarding to record this video of the car running.



Side view then moving to the front:

 

Prepping for the show all week really put me out of commission. I'm usually more social, but I literally was just drained. I apologize for those that I missed at the show, but hopefully I can catch some of you guys at future events.

Luckily, there were a few awesome folks that were able to snap pics:

 

Vossen Wheels was kind enough to place the 300 at the opening scene of their video coverage of the Spring Festival 9 event:


R1 Concepts was also nice enough to place the 300 at a prime location of their video coverage of Spring Fest 9 when the music drops at the 46 Second mark. Awesome rotating shot!

 

SICK SICK SICK!!!! I wasn't sure about the dual q45 lamps in one housing, but after the installed pictures they look insane!! Looks like you have more pipes to powdercoat.
