Dual exhaust for V6

[SOLD!]

Now that I got my charger, thinking about some simple mods to either make it look better or sound meaner. I'm considering the cat back from mopar when it becomes available here in maybe a month. Don;t even have any info on pricing yet. I know it'll look awesome, but my question is if it'll increase mieage or power. Anyone already have one on their V6 and can tell me how it sounds? Thanks in advance.

Got to take a picture when its not raining. LOL

You might want to check out 300cforums.com. they have a member that put the zoomers dual exhaust system on his 3.5 300. that thing definitely sounds mean.
probably the meanest V6 you will ever hear. or you can check out zoomersexhaust.com for pricing and avalibility.

Thanks Chrgerfan for the passing on the info about Zoomers. Here is the thread and page you'll find the video of the V-6 3.5 we did for a local SoCal Guy "INK" on the 300C forums. I think you'll like it. http://www.300cforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7674&page=3&pp=10&highlight=Zoomers

[DoctorNo]

Checked with my dealer this weekend on the Mopar dual exhaust and got good news and bad news....The good news is that their computer has the part number and price ($426) :rockon: The bad news is that there is no availability date yet :sad:

[Frankies3.5]

you can check out www.leeparts.com, the dual exhaust kit is listed in their website for $425.00 plus shipping. I am lookin to get it myself.

[ChargerSXT]

My dealer is in the process of ordering the exhaust system for me. They are giving me a 10% discount, and I have a $25 rebate from MOPAR. That will put my exhaust at about $350 plus installation. I'm going to try to have them install it for free...wish me luck!

[Frankies3.5]

Hey ChargerSXT,

How'd you get them to give you a 10% discount? and what time frame did they give you. A dealer from NJ told me to try again next month for the parts to become available in their system. Have you heard if the exhaust will increase HP or just noise?

Frankie,

I've been bugging my dealer for months now (so much that my wife has appologized for/about me to them numerous times). When I called yet again earlier this week, the nice lady in the parts department said that she will keep putting in the order until it is accepted. She hoped that I would have it by the end of the month, but she didn't have a firm time frame (afterall, the exhaust was supposed to be available back in July).

As for the discount, I didn't ask for it. When she said that she would keep trying to put in the order, she also told me that she would give me the discount (possibly to keep me from bugging her so much).

I haven't heard anything about possible gains (hp, torque, sound) from the exhaust, but I'm assuming that there will be some benefits since it is a freer-flowing exhaust than the stock single system. I believe that the system is made by Borla, which would be a good thing. Personally, I like the look most of all.

Also, on a side note, the Volant CAI system should be ready by mid-September (according to an email that I received from their service/tech department). Therefore, I hope to have my dual exhaust and CAI on by the end of the month. :D

[Frankies3.5]

Charger,

I am gonna contact www.leeparts.com, they have it on their site. Can I just take it to any body shop or a midas to install? I dont have the tools to weld.

[DutchMaster]

I pciked up my Exhaust (Magnaflow) and Air Intake (K&N Typhoon) from:

http://www.premiertruckaccessories.com/

I just think its awesome that my car is so mean, I can buy parts for it at a truck acceessories site. :)

[ChargerSXT]

Frankie,

I'm not 100% sure (maybe someone else can answer for sure), but I believe that you should be able to take the exhaust to any shop to have it installed...as long as they are willing to install something that wasn't purchased through them (I've experienced that in the past).

Was this for the V6 or the HEMI? I looked on their site and didn't see anything listed for the V6.

[1RTw/RT4ME]

Flame me away.

V6 with loud exhaust sounds good at idle only. Hit the gas, and it's a joke. Why don't you just put cardboard strips in the wheel spokes like we all did as kids with our bicycles.

Performance increase? Better to save up for a supercharger and intercooler. But please, keep a big, fat, quiet muffler on it to keep from embarrasing yourself. No amount of tire smoke and squeal can make up for that goofy sound.

Sorry; the truth hurts sometimes. At least in the Charger, you look good! But please, don't think the V6 can ever sound good.

This is f'n nonsense. You can make a V6 sound good. It isn't easy, though, and it will never sound like a V8, but you can make it sound good.

Dude.....you definitely have issues. Are you one of those who NEED the Hemi to compensate for "other inadequacies?".......JK..... :lol:

As far as the points you made:

- Do I want my car to be "loud"...no. Better sounding...yes. Better looking with dual chrome exhaust tips...yes. Do I think that it will ever sound like a V8...no. And yes, FYI, a V6 can sound good.

- Performance increase. Possibly. If a free-flowing exhaust (and CAI) system can increase performance on a V8 (even if it is minor), why won't it on a V6 (even if it is on a smaller scale)? Every little bit helps, right? Would I like to have a turbo or supercharger...Definitely! But I think that it'll be a while before something like that is available for the 3.5.

Show a little love for your V6 brethern! :happy:

take it easy - we are all charger lovers....can't the v6 and hemi guys live in peace and harmony....it still bleeds charger....lol (oh it will add performance increases - look to the honda guys that mod the hell out of their v6 accords for more power - it works!!)

[Frankies3.5]

Hey,

I have the SXT, and very very happy with it. I always thought dual exhausts look way cooler than single (I wouldnt be suprised if dodge just made it standard in the future).
I have taken a look at the dual mods on a 3.5L on www.zoomersexhaust.com.,
Sounded pretty mean to me. Bottomline, if you are happy with your charger thats what counts. V6 or V8, we are all charger fans.

case closed!! go get your exhaust man....hey out of a strange curiosity does the r/t stock exhaust fit the v6 exhaust....if so i have a r/t stock exhaust for a few beers and a drive to louisiana!!

Here is a link to a vendor selling Magnaflow Exhausts for the Charger V6 on ebay for anyone interested. Looks like they have them available now & with free shipping.

[DoctorNo]

At this point I'm just waiting for my dealer to give me the estimated availability date for the Mopar duals ($426 at the parts counter plus cost of installation). I don't plan anything else for my SXT as I had the windows tinted the week I took delivery. It's nice to see that there is a separate V6 forum but I can't help feeling like I was just sent to the kitchen to eat Thanksgiving dinner at the kids table :awkward:

If I'm reading the description correctly, this is a single-tip/outlet exhaust system, not a dual system.

[jrourke]

Yeah, I was surprised to see a new separate forum. Some things might make sense, but plenty of other things are common to the trim lines...where do those questions and comments go? Here or the other forums?

[spoonerock]

Feel free to join in on whatever forum you wish. :happy:

Sometimes it hard to get the information and discussion going about the SE & SXT models and have it get jubbled up in the HEMI conversations.

Most of the mods out there are coming for the HEMIs first, but many that fit our models will be introduced by aftermarket and Mopar late this summer and into the fall.

Example, Cat Backs - Hard to find unless you want a custom job. Several vendors including Magnaflow and Zoomers expect to have supply soon.

CAI - I haven't found anything yet for the V6, but I imagine they will be out there soon as well.

The forums are open to all, but consider this our little corner to talk things specific to our SE & SXT's. :wink:

[spoonerock]

There is also a specific forum for the SRT-8 folks.

We are all Charger bretheren, but we also have certain needs that are specific to our vehicles by model.

[spoonerock]

If I'm reading the description correctly, this is a single-tip/outlet exhaust system, not a dual system.


Yeah your are right about that....... :confused:

I reread the Ebay listing and couldn't figure if it was dual or single exhaust. Magnaflows website wasn't all that much help either, but they do have some sound clips for the ebay listed system on the 3.5 Magnum.

They also have clips (both dual and single) for the 3.5 300.

I sent an e-mail to the listing vendor to get clarification. :whistle:

Hear is the link to the sound clips from Magnaflow:

[ChargerSXT]

FYI,

Cat Backs - Hard to find unless you want a custom job. Several vendors including Magnaflow and Zoomers expect to have supply soon.


The Mopar catback dual system should be out soon. I have my dealer working on ordering it as soon as they can. The system has a part number, but isn't available for ordering :sad: ...yet. :happy:


CAI - I haven't found anything yet for the V6, but I imagine they will be out there soon as well.


I have been told by the guys over at Volant that there CAI system for the 3.5 should be ready by mid-September. :happy:

[DoctorNo]

I have a service appointment this Saturday for my other vehicle so I will check status on availability of Mopar's dual exhaust and see if there has been any updates :drool:

[spoonerock]

I sent an e-mail to the guys at Zoomer, and thought that I would post their response. Also attached are two web links for Zoomers. One is the video/audio file for the single cat back on a Magnum SXT, and the other is for a dual system on a V6 300 series. :shifty: :shifty:

"Our single system is compatable with your Charger, but as I understand the SXT has dual cutouts in the back, so our dual system would look a lot better for your car. The price for the single system is $699.00 and the dual system is $1199.00... The Single system is a true bolt on where as the duals requires additional dealer ordered parts 2- Braket exhaust hangers (part # 4581723-AB) and 2- Isolator exhaust supports (part# 4581790-AB) ...These are the hangers for the drivers side tail pipe...also there is a heat shield required for the gas tank on the drivers side as well. We suggest that the stock heat shield used for the stock rear resonator be utilized by removing and re-applying to the gas tank. A very simple procedure explained in detail in out instructions. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to call. Thank you and have a great day. Ron"

[spoonerock]

If you listen to the audio files to compare the single exhaust Magnaflows vs. the single exhaust Zoomers on the Magnum SXT, There is no comparison. The Zoomers definetely sound better. They almost make the Magnaflows sound tinny. I can certainly see why they would be $250+ more than the Magnaflows.

Anyone heard either dual or single exhaust on the Mopars? :eek:

[swiater4]

I think that the Magnas on that pontiac vibe KICKASS!!!!!! :sick: :whistle:

J/K!!!!

You are right though, the zoomers sound way better than the magnas. The price shows though. I guess I had better start saving my milk money! Is there anything out there yet on the benefit for gas consumption or performance increases? Just wondering.

[spoonerock]

Is there anything out there yet on the benefit for gas consumption or performance increases? Just wondering.

I can't honestly say that I am any kind of expert on that subject :neutral: , but I have done some web surfing over the past couple of days. Seems like there are more opinions out there than hard data about performance gains with Cat Backs in general. Either that, or the data is restricted to a particular brand installed on a specific model.

However, most of the stuff I have looked at tends to suggest that an installed system should produce in the neighborhood of 10 extra horsepower, and approximately 2-3 extra MPG.

Now that is considering that you don't get all "lead foot" reving the engine while you showboat your new growl. :monster:

Some articles I've read seem to suggest you can expect to see more significant horsepower gains by adding a CAI, which makes sense to me (more air to breath....more power). :whistle:

For what it is worth to a Cat Back novice, here is the link to an article you might find helpful:

http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/pw/exhaust.htm

[swiater4]

Hey spoone,

Thanks for the article. All that really helps. I am planning on adding a CAI to my SXT as soon as they come out for the 3.5 Thanks again for the info :happy:

[Aperformance]

How many guys would rather have duals than a single system for the Charger SE or SXT? My guess would probably be 99.9%...Seeing that the dual cutouts that come standard with the V6 seems to be missing a tip, duals would be the only logical way to go. Who would be up for a V6 dual group buy on Zoomers Exhaust, do you think we could get 10 guys interested? Who's interested?

Well let's think about that for a moment............Feel free to chime in here guys & gals.

There is a notion out there that we SE & SXT owners made our decision to purchase our Chargers for budgetary or fuel economy reasons :mad: (I know I didn't). Whatever our reasons we chose the V6 platform, I don't think we should have an expectation that we can somehow mod our vehicles into 400HP mean machines :embarrese. If that is the case, we should have purchased the HEMI as it is probably more costly to achieve significant power gains thourgh aftermarket mods.

That said, why would any of us want a performance exhaust system? The answer is probably to achieve a better sound with our vehicles, and perhaps a little bit better gas mileage. I don't think any of us will be "street" racing just because we can get up to 260HP (and maybe 270 if we install a CAI).

As I have looked through the various posts in this thread, I have noted that most feel that they can achieve what they are looking for through a low to mid range price Cat Back system (either through Mopar, Magnaflow, etc.) for about $400 -$500. The question I have is, what would be the rational to spend approx. $500 more for a Zoomer dual system at $1019 (which by the way is $85 more than the last group buy for the HEMI owners ($934) / $1,199 - 15% = $1,019)?

Granted, I feel the Zoomers have a much superior throaty sound than any of the other products I have listened to so far, but at twice the price?

Personally, I think the single exhast Zoomer Cat Back sounds better than the other duals. But spend an additional $500 to have the tip where my other cut-out is???? Heck, I could conjure a way of installing a false tip into the open cut-out, put the single exhaust system in, still look cool, and still have a nice throaty sound if I wanted to.

Here is another way to look at it....if Zoomer was to offer me a 15% discount on a single exhaust system at $594.00 ($699 - 15% = $594) would that entice me to purchase the Zoomer single over the other duals? I thinks so because I can live with the open cut-out because I have it now.

I think it would be GREAT if Zoomer offered a 15% group buy to SE & SXT owners on either the purchase of a single or dual exhaust system.

It would get my attention.......what about the rest of you folks?????? :happy:

Just as a reminder, this is what I am getting :yes::

The computer in the Parts Dept. of my dealership did not have an availability date yet on the Mopar Cat-Back exhaust system yet when I checked this past Saturday :sad:

I should be back there in 2 weeks for the 12,000 mile service on my SXT so I will check again then and let y'all know :clap:

I heard back tonight from the Ebay seller on this Magnaflow cat back system.

Yes, it is a single exhaust system, and the minimum accteptable bid is $419 (including shipping), with a limited lifetime warranty. As of this post, there was about 17 hours left in the auction & they had 2 available.

I am still going the single exhaust Zoomers route, but thought I would post their reply.

thanks! i guess i should have finished reading the thread before asking the question. lol. i found those links later in the thread.

right now, i looking at the Charger to buy. i just test drove a SXT and loved it. but i would love it even more with dual exhausts and a spoiler. too bad they didnt come with the SXT right now. while talking to the guy at the Dodge place, he said the spoiler only came with the Daytona Hemi. oh well. Maybe that will come later which wouldnt be bad cause I probably wont be able to buy till the end of the year or begining of next.

No problem! When you do get around to a purchase decision. and still like the SXT with the V6, ask your dealer about getting it equiped with the GT sports package. This is a new package that isn't out yet (sometime late fall I hear), and there is no advertised price for the package yet.

You would get a spoiler, rear diffuser, cat back with dual exhausts, upgraded wheels & grill insert.

sweet!! I did notice that sport package in the Charger booklet i got from the dealership and wasnt sure if it was for the SXT or just the Hemi. any guess on what the price of something like that would be? probably 2 or 3K?

$2K - $4K would be my guess. I do know that the upgrade wheels are 17" five spoke chrome (17" is the standard size for the base model), so it depends if they throwing in Upgraded tires as well.

I think you'll find that most of the owners on this form ditch their stock wheels right away and go for 18" - 22" rims, so in my mind, I would not have wanted the GT package (because I also moved up to 18" custom chrome wheels). But that may not be a concern for you.

And yes, the GT Sports Package is ONLY for the base V6 model SE & SXTs.

I just talked to a salesman and he checked in to it for me. said the package would cost 1300...at least i think that's what he said. lol. if that's all that it is, i might have to get the SE with that package.
