I'm trying to figure out how to get the best sound and how to add horsepower to my 2012 Dodge Charger v6

I dont know what model your charger is but. I just switched from the single 2.25 inch exhaust to the duel 2.5 inch R/T Hemi exhaust I found off of Craigslist paid $200 for it installed it made a major difference

I had my car run on a dyno a few months after I got it. Figuring in the conversions for air temp /air pressure/density altitude, etc. it made 245 rear wheel horsepower/220 ft lbs of torque.

The Dyno operator said he typically sees driveline losses of 20%, mostly due to our high altitude (6500 feet) At normal elevations this number is more like 17-18%. So using the 20% loss that brings the flywheel ratings up to 291.6 HP/264 torque--just what the factory rating is.

I installed a Mopar CAI, re ran it on the exact same dyno and got 252 rwhp /230 torq (corrected flywheel readings would be 302 hp/274 torq)

I then installed the DynoMax dual exhaust system for the 2006-2010 Charger R/T V-8 and this time the readings were 260 rwhp / 239 torq (corrected 311 hp / 285 torq), which is pretty much identical to a Challenger Blacktop edition that comes from the factory with CAI and dual exhausts.

I have since installed the Diablo 91 octane tune, but have not had time to get a new dyno run. I do not believe the numbers will change much, but the way the car drives is far superior to not having a tune.

These are about the only reasonable mods you can make on the 3.6 Pentstar, but they are well worth it.
