This Is The One Modification You Should Definitely Make To The Dodge Charger Jailbreak
There are so many types of Dodge Charger and Challenger – for now, at least – that for the uninitiated, it could be difficult to identify the various versions and what sets them apart.
At the top of the pile, the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is the most well-known, along with its 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 and up to 797 hp.
Well, the Dodge Charger Jailbreak is the new Demon, with almost as much power and the possibility to customize the car making it a sought-after muscle car that is also the last of its kind.
MotorTube over on YouTube is out on the road once more with audiovisual content, this time in the form of a Jailbreak Charger that is getting its first performance upgrade.
What Is A Dodge Charger SRT Jailbreak Anyway?
At the top of the range and retailing for $89,000 – about $1,000 more than the Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye before taxes – the Jailbreak model offers 807 hp from the Hellcat engine, which is 10 hp more than the Redeye. To put this in perspective, the standard Hellcat makes 717 hp, the Redeye 797 hp and the Jailbreak 807 hp.
Aside from the 10 hp, which you could argue is symbolic at best, the Jailbreak unlocks a new level of customization for the Charger. Customers can choose from a vast array of colors, options, and combinations previously not available.
As we reported previously on the Jailbreak models – ‘This includes seven options for seats, stripes, and wheels. It also encompasses six choices for brake calipers, five finishes for exterior badging, four options for steering wheels, seat belt colors, floor mats, and much more’.
Performance Upgrades For The Dodge Charger SRT Jailbreak
MotorTube arrives at a friend’s house to check out a Charger Jailbreak before and after a straight-pipe upgrade. This involves fitting a pipe (or pipes) straight from the exhaust manifold on the engine out to the back of the car, usually to make it sound louder.
This kind of upgrade usually forgoes the muffler, resonator and catalytic converter which – unsurprisingly – increases the noise which is what the customer wanted.
It still sounds great in the garage before the exhaust gets bolted on, but afterward the Charger takes on a new voice; a louder one, with more burbles. As the host puts it, ‘It sounds 100% better’.
Some blasts on the highway give the video a chance to show off the new sound and the Charger sounds more potent for sure – the car is also eye-catching thanks to its silver paint scheme, which MotorTube suggests is a rare color. It combines with a black satin hood, roof and trunk to look relatively low-key but elegant for sure.
