Like the title suggests, this is my personal top 5+ modifications in some type of order. Just my personal opinion for an SRT or Trackhawk.

Definitely good tips. I don't have a SRT but do have a dash cam with battery hardwired. I would like to add from your suggestions to have some counter measure device like a radar/laser detector. Awesome videos and Happy New Year!
Man thank you so much for this video the dash cam and carlock were amazing advice
For my SRT GC it will be lowering springs, 22” wheels, ppf and ceramic coating, tinted windows (absolute must here in fl) weather tech floor mats and cargo mat
For me the first few things I have to do its window and taillight tints, followed by swapping out all the factory speakers and radio. Now with the 2015 JGC I just got I have no choice but to keep the 8.4 Uconnect. But I plan on getting a Pac Audio Adapter to get the out puts to my amps. I like to try and get a lowering kit. Which is why I'm glad you made this video gave me some new ideas. And lastly I like to get wheels but that's last thing on my list unless I get them for a good deal. Those factory spider monkeys you had. If I had paid attention more to the page I would have jump on them!!
You forgot your 1st mod!! Window tint! I know someone else already mentioned it, but I feel you needed further shunning 😂😂
Ceramic window tint!
All great suggestions. I plan to do all that when I pick up my srt. Just wondering how exhaust, wheels, lowering springs will affect the factory warranty or maxcare warranty I plan on purchasing.
Just got my 2018! Gonna do American Racing Headers 1 7/8, Borla Atak, Catch Can, Ceramic Coat & Clear Bra for the front bumper
I have a 2018 SRT .... awesome winter truck for me but I’m looking for a Track hawk, I’ll be coming back to this vid once I find mine
Great vid! Thanks Ron. Off to order a catch can....
My man ill apply this to my SRT when I get one 😎👌
DaTKify Awesome. Please keep me updated.
I like it brother 💪, great ideas
Good first time buyer tips. I just picked my Srt8 GC a couple weeks ago. I'm from the Philly area.
Did you sell your TrackHawk?
Window tint is first thing I do. I prefer dark tint so always do 5% all around even over vehicles with rear privacy glass and also full windshield 70%. Love the videos Ron.
Window tint is always my first mod too, and can't believe I overlooked it lol
Sup Fam! Top 5 mods for any vehicle: 1)Window tinting including windshield 2) Interior light change to LED. 3) All weather mates 4) Exterior accent change i.e wrap, paint or chrome delete if applicable 5) Rim/tire package Currently on my Jeep SRT All of the above mentioned item plus lowering kit, custom exhaust, color changing LED headlights and SRT badge.
I like that top mods lits vs his top mods lol
So many mods I havnt heard changing stock spark plugs to uridium when changing exhaust pipes muffler cold air intake throttle body spacer why stop there changes to larger intake manifold . Try the diablo tune very nice results! pedal commander is a mind blower must do. High performance Radiator and fan and loose the engine cover they make a scoop hood yes it gets pricey especially when you talk about rims and tires not to mention 4.5 " lift combo with oldman emu and rough country and OEM leveling kits . Some one mentioned limo tinting full al around go get exemption letter for your state and hopefully your is 4x4 get a curved 50" lightbar if you want more light do it body armor skid plates oil pan rear and front there is no top 5 but if there was would be 1) Diablo Tune 2) pedal commander 3) cold air intake with throttle body spacer 4) rear axle upgrade change muffler something 5) esthetics such as led headlights, 20% tint, wheels light bar. Figure on dropping 5k minimum for my top 5
Good content. Jeep gang. 💪
Have the 5.7 and it was Corsa exhaust, car tracker with fuel cut off {Secure 1st), cold air intake, & dyno tune. Thanks for the Carlock tip, be a good back up
Scotty Kilmer is against cold air intakes
Forgive my ignorance related to vehicle mods, other than sound, are there any benefits from adding an after market exhaust? I just got the 2020 Trailhawk yesterday.
And do I have to worry about the oil catch can with a 3.6L V6 engine? Or is that just for the suped up ones ?
Can you link to the catch can? And to the people you used for ceramic coating? Just got a Trackhawk I’m definitely gonna wanna do those two things when I get mine
Loved this intro ...
Dope video 👌🏽
I will have to jump on the "bandwagon " TINT !!!! lol , I want to get my taillights tinted a nd rear fog light kit …….does your " support team " work on Sundays ? I'll be in AC in a couple weeks, my daughter has a cheerleading competition first weekend in Feb ( 2/1-2/3 )
Don't have one yet. But one thing I do with any car I own is a window tint. I hate having that glare from the sunlight in the car. Love your videos man. Hopefully I get to meet you at cecil one day. When I get mine
If you see me at the track come say hi.
@@EastCoastJeepSRT definitely will!
Good Vid Happy New Year🍻🍻
Thanks
Top 5 Mods for my Srt8. Headers / Cams/ Exhaust/ Catch Cam/ Tires
THANKYOU!!! Death to the automatic bonheaded notion of aftermarket wheel being heavier. People love to talk with no knowledge nor research and it's silly
I just bought a 14 Jeep srt. Great vid. Got the exhaust on the way. I like your videos. Good info.
Curious is it me or is the 2014 to 2016 front grill and headlights different for the srt ?
I dont know too much about cars even though I have a 2018 jeep grand Cherokee SRT, but I want all this....
Amen bro I got a 08 wk1 srt8 but I'm not the car expert lol east coast srt put me on too 💯💨
Liked and subscribed at "Hey guys I'm ready!" lol the 80s.
Man I wish I could have bought yours. We just bought a 2015 Grand Cherokee srt. It's sweet but I bet yours was primo.
Need to get a catch can ASAP
Thanks for this! Did you do all 4 wheels with the eibach or just the back?
All 4. The kit come with 4 springs
Hey Ron do you have tints on your SRT/Trackhawk? If so what percent all around and was your windshield tinted? If so did the dashcam have any difficulty recording through tint
I didn’t do the windshield but had the side glass matched to 15% which is factory
your video is funny i love this car one day this blonde will drive one
So I've only got a Grand Cherokee with the 5.7L Hemi. Just wondering what you opinion would be on adding a oil catch can? Do you think it would beneficial?
Yes, It's a cheap "mod" that will help prevent blowby gasses from being redirected back into your intake manifold. The 5.7L is still a high compression engine, sO my answer would be yes.
@@EastCoastJeepSRT Sounds like a good plan to me. Time to start shopping. Lol
do it! I have one and it catches a ton of oil!!!
I put one on and I love how much better my engine runs. I can feel how much more efficient it's running. Great recommendations!
I am getting a flow master super 44 muffler on my new grand cherokee
I also put on Blizzak DMV2 on my factory wheels for the winter, so come on down if you’re brave enough
Thoughts on adding the catch can to a used SRT?
I would still add one. It may have had one on there that the former owner removed.
Long tube headers, exhaust, catch can, cold air box and ceramicoat. Where do you guys meet up, I’m in north jersey 18 Durango srt
Robert Schoendorf Next meet is the 26th at Tony Luke’s in South Philly at 1 pm weather permitting
Hey Ron, My name is Scott, and I'm new to your channel. Very cool and great info!! Two Questions, I've got an '18 GC SRT and I'm also thinking about lowering the truck as well. Did you just put the new springs on back, or in front too. And also, is there a certain height that you recommend? Want to get that look but don't want to sacrifice ride quality. I know you mentioned it wasn't really an issue, but just wanted to check. Thanks much!!!
Scott Lang You’ll want to get a set of Eibach Pro springs. The kit comes with front and rear. You won’t need anything else and the drop should be 1” in the front and 1.5” in the rear. You won’t even notice a difference in ride quality. Joe Solismo at solisracinggroup.com can hook you up. That’s what I had on my SRT and will be putting on the TH
@@EastCoastJeepSRT Thanks Ron for the info. I'll keep you posted
Will any of these mods void my warranty?
For the catch can you have is it a special one for the jeep 6.4 or could I get one that says it will fit scat pack 6.4?
Check with the shipper on what bracket they use so it’ll fit.
@EastCoastJeepSRT thanks for you help.
IMO catch cans are only important if you’re engine is direct injection.
you added the lowering springs front and back, or just the rear?
Jay Sanchez Front and back.
Eastcoastjeepsrt, I have the 2014 srt8 grandcherokee silvery light purple hue.please tell me the best mode to drive in to save the best gas
Auto, and click the Eco button.
Sell it & buy a V6 😁
Can I add mid grade gas in my srt8
@@RazorSharp163 No man lol.. I meant if fuel is your concern, sell your car and buy a V6 model. You should only use premium and nothing else. If you bought an SRT, is the extra $8 per fill really going to put you out on the street?
#1: window tints #2: headers, pipes, exhaust #3: paint protection #4: Catch Can #5: SRT grille light badge #6: remove "grand cherokee" from the doors #7: Dashcam #8: Radar System #9: Rims #10 Lowering Springs #11: AFE air intake (i tried to do a top 10 and failed)
Did you lower both the front and the rear? Or just the rear?
Both.
How can I get a Hold of your boy down here in Florida? Whats the name of his shop?
Joe at www.solisracinggroup.com/
Thanks man. I saw on another one of your videos that you fix the leaks on the winshields do you got any video on how you did it?
@@EastCoastJeepSRT How about over here Utah? Got any connections?
Billie Bledsaw dont know anyone out that way. Sorry.
does this count for the 5.7 as well? I already have the catch can.
Sledge Chesterfield Yes
Well coming back to update my reply , found my track hawk ... mods done so far , oil catch can , cold air intake , pulley and a tune , exhaust. Not sure what I’m going to do next , but I’m thinking a set of wheels and suspension. I’m not sure how it’s going to be in 2 feet of snow but I’ll find out.
Canadian Pride how was the winter months?
How much money were you all in at this point and where was your horsepower at?
2 years later but the catch can reasoning is because the PCV system is usually a legal requirement for emissions. A catch can generally circumvents this system.
Incorrect. It doesn’t circumvent the system. Rather than forcing that oil back into the intake to be burned off it’s collected in the can. It’s not maliciously stealing oil from the system. It’s preventing it from ruining your engine over time. Oil isn’t meant to be burned off like that. The reason the EPA mandated that system was due to engine designs of yesteryear having drip lines to get rid of that oil blow by. It would drop onto the ground. Sadly that was before people realized oil getting into the soil seeps into the ground water contaminating it. Catch cans solve this problem and prolong the life of the motor with this high tech “drip line” to get rid of that gunk
@@EastCoastJeepSRT Nah I agree with what you're saying but the PCV system is in place to help divert gases back into the combustion chamber from the crank case, The PCV system itself is there as a requirement for emissions standards. Catching the oil is definitely a good idea.
@@tomh894 I just explained that. I just told you WHY it’s there, and why a catch can is important. Engines weren’t designed to have oil shot back into the intake manifold. The EPA forced engine designers to do that because oil dripping from the old drip lines fouled ground water. Has zero to do with emissions. Use Google to look up the history of this design. They didn’t do this to help emissions
@@EastCoastJeepSRT Combustion gases being vented into the atmosphere is why they designed the PCV system. And a catch can with a breather vents these gases back into the atmosphere (yes not all have breathers). Oil dripping onto the ground is polluting as well, sure. I understand and agree with that part. However in many countries that have EPA/Environmental standards when it comes to vehicle emissions, bypassing a manufacturers system to manage those gases could technically be labelled defective by police or an EPA officer, if you come across a highway patrol officer here in Australia that woke up on the wrong side of the bed you could be stung for it. Same way a DPF filtration or Adblue system on diesels not working properly is looked at. Anyway aside from that dude lol, i enjoy your content, thanks for replying.
Do all these apply to a regular Jeep Grand Cherokee?
Yeah. QC isn’t the best for the JGC in general
Isn't air bags better than lowering springs?
I’ve never had bags to compare. I really like these springs though.
First off, love the vid's. I don't agree with you on oil causing carbon. Oils are made with additives to prevent carbon build up. So if you have direct injection motor and you install a catch can you will have more carbon build up on the top of the valves. They have done many studies on this and found that motors last longer with a little oil running through them. Lubricating valves and cylinder walls is never a bad thing. The catch can will improve performance but will not increase longevity of the motor.
What "studies"? There is not one study that agrees redirecting oil back into your intake manifold to be burned off is a good idea. There are studies and evidence to prove that carbon deposits still build up due to the closed EPA mandated PCV System. Many articles agree on this. www.motor.com/magazine-summary/carbon-deposits-cleaning-up-whats-left-behind/ www.knowyourparts.com/technical-resources/engine/how-to-prevent-engine-deposits/ Just Google the problem and practically every article or tech page is pointing to carbon deposits that have built up from being redirected into the intake manifold, and in our case, having a high compression engine, we get more of it than other types of engines. repairpal.com/loss-of-power-due-to-oil-and-carbon-build-up-in-intake-manifold-432 Seriously take the time to click these links and read them. You can disagree with me, but the evidence is overwhelming, blog.wiseco.com/common-causes-of-blowby-and-oil-consumption
@@EastCoastJeepSRT Sorry o get involved in yours battle… 😌 I have a question about, Do I need to install - Catch can to my 2015 3.0L diesel engine Jeep Grand Cherokee? Thank You.
@@Andreyhappy74 Yes. Any blow-by you can eliminate is a good thing.
@@EastCoastJeepSRT remind me please, what brand You would be suggested..?
@@Andreyhappy74 personally like Billet Technologies
Did your old Jeep clunk on downshift
SRTspeed219 Yes it did
EastCoastJeepSRT I hate it. Any fix?
Depends on if its actually the same clunk
I dare you to put your SRT or Trackhawk against my Laredo with the first generation stock, unmodified 3.6L Pentastar with the leaking oil cooler assembly and the 17 inch wheels, I DARE YOU 😝😀😃
😂
Are you going to do a catback system
Not sure
Has anyone ever provide a full video review of the functionalities of the JEEP SRT. For example, audio, navigation, engine, steering (driving in straight-line), body inspection, memory settings, wipers, and etc. I have completed some research, and I have never seen so many SRT for resale (Whether JEEP or Dodge). I did made some phone calls to sellers, and did get some feedbacks regarding functionality issues. Let me know what you think. From what I understand, these are all BAILOUT vehicles. Safety is a concern.
This is a Trackhawk, but as far as that in-depth I don’t think there’s anyone doing one for any car that in-depth. Reason is that each vehicle has so many variations in options. You can’t compare all audio when they offer different options for audio.
This is a late comment but that’s also why I’m posting it because the original comment is so stupid I felt compelled to simply say that, “the original comment is the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard here.”
Did you have the SRT Tuned? If so which one?
I had the SRT Procbarged and tuned, yes. Had it done at HHP (High Horse Performance). They also did the Trackhawk and are building me a complete short block next month.
@@EastCoastJeepSRT Thanks, i just bought a 21 SRT. Watching all your vids to figure things out.
Window tint on every vehicle.
Trooper427SS Damn. That’s literally the first thing I always do and forgot about it ugh
ScotchGard
East coast srt I want to know what mode is best to drive in to save gas?
RazorSharp163 A Prius mod lol
Why lower the back when you could lift the front
Because that would look gay.
It accomplished the same even look and adds more clearance. Since when is a small lift gay....
Andrew_Dudinetz Since we’re talking about a Trackhawk and not a Wrangler. That’s the gayest thing anyone’s even suggested for a Trackhawk. A little lift? Why not throw in a bag of dicks and plan a camping trip to Brokeback Mountain? You don’t lift an SRT or a Trackhawk my friend.
The fact that the Manufacturer doesnt put a $100 Catch can is reason enough not to buy a JEEP
Fester Adams Then don’t buy one.
And which manufacturer offers one or comes with one??? I’ll wait……..
Maybe they're good tips, but for GOD SAKES!, cut the chitty chat and get to the point. This could have been a 5 min video instead of 21 mins. I couldn't make it past halfway through mod#3. I was looking for your mod suggestions, not a comedy act 😩
Beat it. Don’t care about your crying and complaining.
oil does not give your car anymore power; it is the spark plugs that give you the power
frances vincent Who said anything about oil giving you power lol! Also, it’s not just spark. Timing, fuel, and spark. smh
