2013 Dodge Charger
The 2013 Dodge Charger is much the same car as the year before. SE and SXT models are paired with a 3.6L Pentastar V6, 5-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive as standard (AWD upgrade as a factory option). A Rallye and Blacktop appearance package, which are new for 2013, up the V6 power production to an even 300 horsepower due to slight improvements in the intake and exhaust. Performance junkies are naturally attracted to the R/T and SRT-8 models, which use a 5.7L (370 HP) and 6.4L Hemi V8 (470 HP) engine, respectively. Despite the new TorqFlite 8-speed transmission having been developed, both V8 packages still rely on the older 5-speed sequential automatic gearbox.
Unparalleled Braking Power
A big brake kit for a 2013 Dodge Charger will totally revamp its braking performance - from actual stopping distance to overall feel. An aftermarket Charger big brake kit is a completely re-engineered, oversized braking system that completely replaces the factory caliper, rotor, pads and associated hardware. New calipers, built with as many as 6-pistons in the front and 4 in the rear (conversely, most factory 2013 Charger brake systems use a twin-piston at the front and a single piston at the back), these massive calipers provide significantly more clamping power, and spread it out over a larger area as to reduce heat and lockup. In order to match these big calipers, the rotors are also supersized by as much as an extra 2" in diameter. Again, this larger rotor provides more surface area for the pads to bite and thereby better decelerate the car. One last piece of the big brake kit puzzle is the inclusion of braided stainless steel brake lines. Compared to regular rubber lines, stainless steel brake lines undergo less expansion as the brake fluid is pushed through. This results in a firmer braking action and improved response. Of note, with a big brake kit being so much larger, they usually require a minimum wheel size of 18".
Keep Things Cool
Too much heat is detrimental to any vehicle. Keeping the engine from heating above its designed operating temperature is paramount in order to draw the maximum performance and longevity out of a 2013 Charger. Dropping in a performance radiator can help solve existing cooling problems and prevent overheating in the future. Performance cooling radiators fitting a 2013 Charger are made of aluminum. Compared to the factory radiator, these aftermarket units feature a larger core and utilize multi-layered cooling rows. The multiple passes through the core expose the coolant to more air for a longer period of time, vastly increasing thermal transfer before the coolant leaves the radiator and circulates back into the engine block. Even in stop and go traffic, these multi-row aluminum radiators provide much improved cooling over single row units.
Updated Interior Vibe
Adding LED interior lighting to your 2013 Charger is a fun and inexpensive way to really change up the interior vibe. Their bright and custom colors allow you to revamp the accent and reading lights within the cabin. Here are the various bulbs situated within the interior:
- Dome light: 578 bulb
- Map light: 578 bulb
- Door sill light: 562 bulb
- Rear reading: 2825 bulb
Replacing them involved simply removing their respective lens and pulling the old bulb out.
2013 Dodge Charger Interior Parts
The first thing you'll notice when you’re driving a 2013 Dodge Charger is the cabin, and how comfortable it is. Sure, it comes with great seating options and technology from the factory, but a lot of features in the interior are a bit dated by today’s standards. Fortunately, at AmericanMuscle we can help you swap out an old radio system and replace it with one that has the latest Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technology. Technology aside, we make customizing the comfort of your interior possible with seat covers, new seating options, and ergonomic shifters and steering wheels. When you shop with AmericanMuscle we’ll help you make the cabin feel uniquely yours down to the gauges and lighting.
2013 Dodge Charger Exterior Parts and Accessories
The exterior of your 2013 Dodge Charger also needs some love, especially if you want to make its appearance look more aggressive. It makes a statement from the factory, but over the years the tires, bumper, wheels, and even headlights or taillights will start to wear out. Replacing these parts with the parts we carry at AmericanMuscle will help you restore your Charger to the intimidating muscle car it was from the factory. If the factory style isn't for you, don't worry, we have you covered there as well. At AmericanMuscle we offer new splitters, spoilers, bumpers, halo headlights, and grille deletes that will help you transform your entire vehicle. New wheels and tires will also help your Charger make a statement, and they can improve performance as well.
2013 Dodge Charger Performance Parts
One of the most fun things about a Charger is its performance, it's often the reason you buy one to begin with. The 2013 Charger was sold with a V6 or V8 option, and both platforms have a lot of performance potential if you add new intake, exhaust, and weight reduction parts. Even if you only add a few bolt-on parts, like a cat-back exhaust and a cold air intake, you'll notice a horsepower boost and a better-sounding engine. Whether you want to improve the performance of a V8 or help your V6 Charger keep up with its big-engine brothers, we have you covered at AmericanMuscle. Older vehicles also tend to lose a little bit of performance as they age due to parts not working the same way they used to, so it's helpful to replace spark plugs, fuel pumps, fuel injectors, and air filters to maximize performance.
