Yep Hedman shorty headers. I do plan on going to 3” exhaust with full length headers eventually though.

300's came standard with bucket seats.
But the bench seat was still king.
So, Chrysler offered the bench from the Newport Custom and gave a credit to the bottom line when ordered.
Your car looks great.

I have those shortys also. Love 'em.
FWIW - if you still have the non-TNT cam in there, I doubt you'll gain much with 3" exh except for more noise.

-aluminum heads/intake
-“Mild comp cam” (I wasn’t told exact specs)

Cool! We'll be there too with our gold 68 in the non-letter 300 section. There's another fella also with a gold 68 that sometimes comes.

You too. I just wish that Dwayne had been there with his gold 68 too, it would've been epic! Best of luck with your 300! I'm glad to see younger fellows take an interest in these cars.
I don't know if we'll be going in 2025. We've gone the last 5 years so thinking it might be time to take a break. It's the heat--it really saps the energy and enthusiasm out of me. I wish they'd trade the dates around with the other manufacturers sometimes. Maybe they figure us Mopar guys are the toughest of the bunch and can deal with it!

If only I was younger! This texas heat on 62 yearold self makes it hard for me to get out in my shop with no air and do alot at it for very long! My son keeps tellin me, Dad, youll get it done.....Ive been to carlise twice and grew up in the finger lakes region of new york so I know how the heat and humidity came be. Stay safe.
