I have an oil separator on Charger R/T and it collects a silly amount of oil. I will have to look into this, thanks!

Borla S-Type's finally showed up today!!!!! Not sure if I will get to install them this weekend, or wait for Thanksgiving weekend when I will have more free time.

BBK 85MM throttle body, JLT oil separator, black hood vents, and side marker tint got installed this weekend. I have a set of hood struts, but wanted an extra pair of hands to help before I attempted that, and my wife was out all weekend.

I don't have any decent pics of the hood vents, I'll try and get some this week.

How's everything going with the BBK Throttle Body?? I wanted to get it, but was detered from mixed reviews from various forums. Also, has your BBK throttle body thrown any codes?? I would really like to buy this product and you input would be appreciated. Thanks and nice set of mods!!

Good choice for the first few bolt-ons. Are you getting the car tuned for the BBK TB adjustment? It's the best way to retain your drive-ability manners with an aftermarket TB. Plus, you'll gain a ton of power throughout the power band!

As, I think you're right about graphics on the grabber blue. I think some Gloss or even Matte black 12in stripes would look killer! Where you looking for more side decals, like on the Boss or different styled stripes?

I don't plan on putting in a tune for a little while. I've only had the BBK TB in there for a few days now, but I seems good so far. I haven't really got a chance to get on it hard yet, but for day to day driving, it seems well behaved. I haven't seen any codes and it runs great.

I'm thinking 10in matte black dual stripes, including the bumbers front and back. and I stripe just above the rocker on either side.

I've already got 3.73 gears with the track pack, so I don't think I want to go much taller than that.

I want/need wider tires on the back, but I've only got 4,800 miles on the p-zeros that came on it, so I will run those for another year before doing that. I ordered winter tires on the 19x9 boss 302 rims. What I may do, is get 2 - 19x10 boss 302 rims, and put 285/35/19's on those, and run the p-zero's up front on the 19x9 and swap the snow tires onto the stock track pack rims.

Here is the first startup after I installed the exhaust. Sounds awesome now, like a Mustang should. My son has dubbed it "The Loudinator!"
