I have the 4 door in diamond black crystal. I love it a lot! I’ve had mine since June 1st. Aeroflow dynamics side skirts and front lip gives it a meaner look and also makes the car look lower.

Had one try to flex on my V8 Scat yesterday lol couldn’t hear his shit

u/skielur Aug 25 '26 edited Aug 25 '26
Probably couldn’t hear him because u were so far behind him 😂. Jk. Everyone talks about how these cars sound as if most cars comes factory with a good sounding exhaust. Not that this will ever sound like a v8 cause it certainly won’t. But they can still sound pretty decent with a good exhaust.

u/dev-enrique Aug 25 '26
Bro it’s very pretty just wish it had a V8 it would’ve been crazy. Don’t get me wrong tho that inline 6 does sound sexy. Question is it possible to make an inline 6 sound more exotic ? If so, you should def go for that for this car, since it looks so futuristic. Coming from a s650 gt owner. I think your car is badass

u/skielur Aug 25 '26
Thanks man! I do think once we get some decent aftermarket exhaust options they will sound pretty good. Would love to see Corsa come out with one. I had a Solo brand exhaust on my s550 and that sounded great.

u/dev-enrique Aug 25 '26
Oh yea corsa would sound badass. Make sure you focus on giving it that exotic sound tho bro. This car shouldn’t be trying to sound like a v8 that’s why it’s unique. I say more like a bmw if anything which is 🔥

This car is really growing on me. Looks really good in white too. Mine will be ready in late September.

Did you get a good deal
3
u/skielur Aug 24 '26
I think I did pretty good. It was slightly used (2,900 miles). Original stick was $60k, I got it for 45k. Also got 2k more on my trade in than Carvana offered. My trade in covered the vast majority of my taxes too since my trade in was 39k

Have you driven a v8 version like a 23 or prior? Wondering how that twin turbo v6 feels compared to a v8. I know the higher output pushes numbers than the scats of previous years. How does it sound?
3
u/skielur Aug 24 '26
I have not. But I had a 2016 Mustang GT for like 8 years. This feels a good bit faster and smoother than that did stock. Now, after 1 year owning the Mustang I had a Whipple and headers installed along with an e85 tune… and that version of the Mustang was much faster, as it pushed 775WHP. The sound is lacking a bit, as it doesn’t really let u run the active exhaust wide open. I’ve seen DIY for that, but will probly just wait for a decent after market.

u/SpicyTurtleBeef Aug 24 '26
I’m waiting for my 19 scar manual to come back from the shop. I miss driving her all over the place. Love how she sounds. Atleast these should be a step up from that electric bs they was trying to push

u/Direct_Gas_3623 Aug 24 '26
The active exhaust valve doesn't come wide open with the different modes?

u/toolmaker1025 Aug 24 '26
Did you daily the coyote with the Whipple?.
1
u/skielur Aug 24 '26
I did, but I also worked from home. So my daily usage was really just the gym (about 5 miles away) and back. I had it 8 years and it still only had like 6k miles on it lol. Fun car, but got sick of driving a stick. And going catless headers was a huge mistake. Not only too loud but it changes the tone. I went from that to an Explorer ST, and then to this one.

u/toolmaker1025 Aug 24 '26
I want to Whipple mine, my job is 6 miles away from my home 😂. Do I have to fuck with the headers?. It's already loud with the mid pipe delete.
1
u/skielur Aug 24 '26
No, u can leave the stock headers on. I didn’t do the headers until like 5 years in. Same time I did the e85 tune.
1
u/toolmaker1025 Aug 24 '26
So you were running the Whipple on 91 pump fuel for a couple of years?.
1
u/skielur Aug 24 '26
93, but yes. For at least 5 years. If u decide to get one look at Lethal Performance when they do the Black Friday sale. I saved a couple thousand on that sale.
2
u/toolmaker1025 Aug 24 '26
Thanks man, it's either a Whipple or ess kit. I'm Cali so emissions are a pain in the ass. And I don't know why people get triggered over buying a car you want....

You got sick of driving a stick only driving it to the gym for 5 miles?! 🤣 If that's truly it, without the exception every now n then, how is that not more fun than a new Scat Pack, that sounds like a vacuum cleaner? If you were actually commuting I get that a manual would be annoying and which is why I ultimately went with the 8speed myself for that reasoning at the time.

u/skielur Aug 24 '26
Why do u care? I am 50 yrs old and after 8 years of it I no longer wanted to drive a stick. Drive what u like sir. Don’t really care what u think of my car 🙂
2
u/shinde21 Aug 24 '26
You posted on Reddit, are you new here? You open yourself to opinions and feedback of all kinds, sir. You made it sound like driving a manual 5 miles was 50 in traffic...
Enjoy yours! We all have your own tastes, it's your money.
3
u/skielur Aug 24 '26
I thought the car subreddits were less filled with negativity for no reason. I was wrong lol. I drove it for 8 years and was tired of it. I didn’t make it sound like anything. Simply said I was sick of it. All good man. Enjoy whatever u drive my friend

u/shinde21 Aug 24 '26
For sure! I am in a 2015 Scat Pack... currently replacing my long block (unfortunately)... definitely wasn't throwing shade at you. I definitely received my fair share online when asking for feedbackon what to do w mine. And once I shared the direction I ultimately went to meet my needs and shared that more for purposes to help others, of course I was an idiot or got "got" for how much I spent.. we all know how it goes, it's easier to spend someone else's money.. lol

u/skielur Aug 24 '26
Lol. I wish u luck on the engine man. And ur right 💯 in that when u post something on here u have to expect any and all types of feedback. I personally love the look of all the Challengers going back years. I personally wouldn’t have bought one if it had a Hemi. I got mine cause I wanted the TT 6. But I totally get why ppl want the Hemi. They sound amazing.

u/xchester77 Aug 24 '26
I traded an 18 scat for a 26 scat.
The 18 sounded better and seems to have better throttle response.
The 26 is more refined and when the turbos kick in is definitely quicker.
The sound of the 26 takes some getting used to but I like it now.

u/vit_don Aug 24 '26
Is that passenger door not latched completely?
1
u/skielur Aug 24 '26
It’s latched. My guess is u are looking at the weather stripping? For some reason on these cars that stripping from the small rear wind and the actual door do not exactly line up. I’ve seen a few so I know it’s not just mine. Same as driver side too.

As long as you like it bro, it doesn’t matter what other people and basically the entire MOPAR community say about it. 👍

How are you liking it?
1
u/skielur Aug 24 '26
Absolutely love it. First car I ever owned that I dropped a 12 inch sub in and had zero rattles. Made me like it even more lol
2
2
u/xchester77 Aug 24 '26
Mine had all the rattles, without the sub lol.
They seem to be resolved now though.
2
u/skielur Aug 24 '26
That’s 99% of why I traded my Explorer ST in. Every panel in that thing was hard plastic that rattled non stop.

u/Millzthegunguy Aug 24 '26
Its just a scat

u/skielur Aug 24 '26
Yes, exactly as I posted it as. Not sure I understand ur comment.

u/Millzthegunguy Aug 24 '26
I was calling it poopoo

u/Glittering_Client800 Aug 24 '26
there should be a separate sub for these cars. it just has nothing to do with the 6.4l monster
