Engine Bay Concerns?

Are these two photos of any concern? I have these stains on my engine cove quite often, but it doesn’t have a smell but comes off black when I wipe it? No codes, drives fine. Also the hose for the intakes seems to have a chip in it? Service manager at my local dealer who I’m cool with thinks it’s rodents but i have no nesting anywhere? 18,000 miles 2023 GT2

Weekend Project/ Wheel Recommendations

Thought I’d share the mods I did it this weekend, and also ask what aftermarket rims that look closest to the scorpion rims? Firestone scratched all my 4 of my stock rims and now I have to replace them (they paid me $4800 lol)

Upgraded Intercooler On Stock Tune?

Like the title says ,is upgrading the intercooler to say the BMS intercooler worth if I’m on a stock tune with intakes and snorkels? Maryland just gets really hot in the summer now like in the low 100’s haha.

Please help my boy Apollo

This is my 6 year old boy Apollo. He was a barn kitten from an Amish family in PA. I’ve had him since he was 12 weeks. He’s been a chronic vomiter most of his life. He was also diagnosed with a 3/6 heart murmur. He’s seen every 6 months at Banfield for his bi-yearly exams since he was a kitten. His bloodwork, urine tests, weight, and fecal tests are always normal. Banfield charges insane rates for x-rays, ultrasounds, etc as I can’t afford them. However, he is a regular at this specific Banfield location and they prescribed him Purina Pro-Plan Hydrolized dry food and hydrolyzed wet food. He was on the wet food for a year, until the wet food started making him vomit excessively. He uses a slow feeding elevated ceramic bowl for his wet food, which I will pull halfway through and give him a 5 minute break. He’s on fancy feast pate now and has been for over a year and it’s been great as well as the hydrolyzed dry. As of 2 days ago, he’s been vomiting excessively again. Within 10 minutes whether it’s wet or dry, it comes back up. He heaves and makes an awful sounding meow that is specific to his vomiting everytime. It’s like he has these flare ups but this time it’s been going on 2.5 days and I’m concerned. Really concerned. I’m assuming he has IBD and that’s what the vet said too, as they can treat him like he already has it. They have ruled out cancer since he is always consistently healthy other than his vomiting. He has no problems pooping so they do not think there is a bowl obstruction. He has also had teeth pulled due to dental disease. I feel so bad for him, and I love my boy to death but I can’t help to think he’s suffering. Please help.

2024 AlChemi vs 2026 R/T 392

My spouse and I recently bought a 392 Alchemi for $66,000 OTD with only 1000 miles on it. I knew the R/T 392 was coming out soon, and would be about maybe $10,000 cheaper? My question is did Dodge change anything about the new R/T 392’s? Like did they add ambient lighting, 360 camera, …anything new? Or is it just the same rinse & repeat with a cheaper price tag?

Stinger is “slow”

What is with this general opinion that a stock 3.3 Stinger is slow? Made the mistake of joining a few stinger Facebook public groups and mods let random people join and just shit all over the stingers performance.

“Not fast”
“Bad platform to work on”

So my question is, is tuning these cars on JB4 really necessary? I have an extended warranty and a very good relationship with a local service manager who is willing to not give a shit about anything other than a JB4/ Flash tune because he said it comes up in the cars data logs. Especially JB4 where they can tell the boost is higher than normal or something. I thought these cars are fast stock but apparently they’re “slow boats that can’t beat most cars stock?”

Tire Sizes- mistake ???

Did i fuck up by ordering by 265/35/19 for the rear and 245/35/19 for the front on 19” stock rims? Firestone said it was fine but I’m double checking

Zero Maint. Catch Can vs Normal Catch Can

Which oil catch can would ya’ll recommend? Stock tune but I want to stop as much carbon buildup as possible. Zero maintenance seems like the better choice but I’ve heard issues with it? Any insight is appreciated

CT4V Blackwing - Slow????

Does a stock GT2 AWD really pull ahead of a CT4V Blackwing from a dig? I’ve seen a few videos and it’s hard to believe those stingers were on a stock tune but they claim they are other than intakes & exhaust. I know the Blackwing catches up but damn…

RaceChip

Anyone have experience with RaceChip as opposed to JB4? Is it still “traceable” by the dealer? I have an extended warranty so trying to debate if it’s worth it to unlock a little more horsepower. Just came across the RaceChip tonight and I don’t know much about it.

Thanks

Heads Up Display - Color Change

I’ve seen a few videos of people with different color heads up displays. I have a 2023 GT2 and don’t see where that is an option in the heads up display settings?

392 Alchemi

Wanted to show off my 392 Alchemi. Bought with only 1,000 miles. Surprised the exhaust is as quiet as it is and no 360 camera is a bummer. As a first time Durango owner, anything to know? Already have alot of security things done. OBDII lock, steering wheel lock, neutral switch lock, dashcam with parking mode, Uconnect tracking, and the key fob lockout from the dealer. Installing IGLA soon. Mainly looking for any quirks or other things I should know.

Thanks!!!!

3D Printed Snorkels - Selling * New*

Selling my 3D printed snorkels for $100. Never installed. My buddy suprised me with Velossatech for my birthday. I know was trying to sell my sway bars but I had them installed by another shop for $300 and never got back to anyone. Sorry! I will ship them to you for free. Cash App/ Venmo or PayPal is fine if anyone is interested. Paid $180 for these plus a $75 tariff from Etsy, I’d rather make something back than nothing 😂.

Intake Debate

Finally ready to add intakes & snorkels and I have searched this sub and didn’t really find a definitive answer but maybe there isn’t one? But anyway, what intake options available provide the best sound and reliability? Staying on a stock tune as well. My research is below

Takeda: I know this is a popular choice being fully enclosed to reduce heat soak,but can you hear any turbo noises when you remove the plugs in the back?

AEM: was originally going to go this route due to the plastic piping but I’ve been reading of some of these intake tubing cracking/breaking

BMS: they look very cheap but I could be wrong?

Injen: these provide the best sound I think but what about heat soak?

K&N: this is my current choice but is there a concern with the aluminum tubing and also the cone filters being oiled and messing up the MAF sensors?

Any insight is appreciated

New Eibach Sway Bars- Selling

All,
I love my stinger and stinger community. I bought front and rear Eibach sway bars, and unfortunately the shop who offered to install them for a very good price now jumped their price up to $2000 as they say it’s extremely labor intensive. I’ve called around to other shops and I’ve received even higher quotes. I have the front and rear Eibach sway bars, completely unopened and brand new. I have decided to sell them. $300 for both and you will pay shipping. Located on the east coast in the tri-state area. Please message me if you are interested as I would like to use the money to buy cold air intakes instead.

Thanks 🙏

Durango 392 Exhaust Question

Bought a 2024 392 Alchemi with only 1000 miles. My mom has a 2025 R/T Tow N Go and her exhaust is *much* louder than mine on the SRT. I thought it had a loud exhaust like the R/T Tow N Go? Window sticker lists it as a “high performance exhaust” but it almost sounds non existent? Or does the SRT have a lot of sound deadening in the cabin?
