Solo Performance Challenger Srt8 High Flow Converters

[goingsolo2 0]

It has been a long process to get to this point and we very much appreciate your patience and understanding. Getting the SRT-8 Solo High Flow Converter right was no easy task and then we needed to test it in 3 cars to make sure that there were no problems. Thank you so much RENFRICK1, NYCSRTATE, and RT ROB, for testing and giving us your invaluable feedback and opinions. We couldn't have done it without you! A big thanks to Renfrick1 for all the time and miles of driving from Connecticut to our Buffalo store to get this process started and ultimately finished!

SRT-8 Converter Specs

• 200 cell stainless steel spiral wound design. This design is long lasting, ultra-high flow, and completely stainless inside and out.
  
• Converters are far overrated for the car, at 6.0L per side. That's 12.0L of cleaning ability.
  
• Includes a special design stainless steel 3/8" thick front flange.
  
• All pipes, O2 bungs, and welds are stainless steel.
  
• For sound reasons we had to incorporate a free flow resonator behind the converter. With just the converter, the performance was great but the sound was horrible. With the addition of the resonator we now have great sound (about 15%-20% more noise overall) and performance.
  
• These converters are not CARB certified for the SRT-8, but they do pass all emissions and keep the CEL light off. They are technically for off road use only.
  
• The converters passed the emissions test in Connecticut with flying colors.
  
• Each converter assembly is about 4 feet long. It goes from the manifold to the first connection.
  
• No CEL or engine lights to date!
  
• Fits 2012 Challenger as well! Please let us know you have a 2012 when ordering.
  
• 100% BOLT ON

Some comments from Renfrick1, NYCsrtate and RT Rob:

• It sounds and performs incredible.
  
• My gas mileage went from 14mpg to 17mpg.
  
• The fit, finish and function is all there.
  
• Crazy swings in the Dyno numbers. From 12 RWHP to 30 RWHP gains on two different dyno's with 2 different SRT-8's.
  
• It sounds even deeper and better.
  
• There's nothing but pluses with these converters. Better mileage, better sound, better performance!
  
• Absolutely no drone!
  

Pipe, converter and resonator sizes:

• Pipe is 3" mandrel bent stainless steel.
  
• Converter is 3" and 200 cell internally.
  
• Resonator is a 2.5" free flow resonator.
  
• End connection is 2.75" stock connection size
  

Explanation of Free Flow Resonator Assembly: "Bigger is not always better"

The SRT-8 converter assembly without the resonator is unbearably loud and not in a good way. Being a virtually unsellable unit we decided to engineer a free flow resonator into the converter assembly. Of course we started off with a 3" resonator. There were some drawbacks with sound quality and the bottom end had a bit too much lag. We decided to try a 2½" resonator after Renfrick1 was seriously contemplating going back to the stock converters and we are so glad we did. The sound quality is 100% and the bottom end power is significantly better. With the 2½" resonator on instead of the 3", Renfrick1 gained 2/10 of a second in the 1/8 mile.

Exhaust works on heat and pressure principles (among others) and these principles can be best illustrated using a fire and a chimney flue. If you have a proper sized fire what happens is the flue heats up and the smoke is drawn up the flue, because of the heat, under pressure. Everything flows well and properly. If the fire is too small (or the flue is too big) the smoke languishes around and usually finds its way up the flue but it doesn't flow properly or well. The flue (or the exhaust pipe) if too big actually hinders the flow. Just like the fire and flue have to be sized to fit each other for optimum performance so does the exhaust pipe size and the engine output.

Special requests for 3" resonators:

If you are doing a supercharger, magnacharger or extreme engine mods the 3" resonator would make sense. We will make these on a special order basis and please call Steve to place this order. There will be no additional charge for this. We can't stress enough that these 3" resonators don't belong on SRT-8's with normal mods such as intake, exhaust and a computer tune. Thanks so much for your patience and support! Please feel free to call, email, or post in this thread with questions.

Looks like a good product.

Howsbout a group buy for the members of the MMF?

Had em over a year - no CELs at all. Can go anywhere and get my state inspection.

[Guest Daparrothead]

I had a CEL issue at one point but I'm pretty sure it was due to a canned Diablo 91 oct tune. After I switched it to the 93 oct tune never had another problem. And I got a Texas state inspection sticker with no issues.

C'mon Solo!

We need a

GROUP BUY!

Hey Stevo... I think they have an office in Mississauga... They'll even install them.

[StevoHemi 113]

Thanks Kent. Yeah, I was there last year checking them out. They are near Dixie and Dundas operating as a Zorro muffler shop. I believe you have to phone them in the States to order and then you can pick up in Mississauga.
