The chip worked out fine for awhile, but I never really notice the big differences. You get what you pay for and the chip was really not all that expensive. I later went for the Diablo Predator Programmer and now I can really see the difference. I use the 91 octane pre-programed setting and I can feel the difference in a hard take off and also a much quicker throttle response when I hit the passing gear while on the highway. It is a much faster and more responsive Magnum...NOW

The cold air intake and Flowmasters give the car a bit more power as well as a nice, throaty sound. It roars nicely at WOT. My guess is this combination adds about 15 HP. It's worth the investment IMO.

#1887 of 1963 Magnum Wait time and Help needed by maw1982

I took delivery of my Mineral Gray Magnum RT on Tuesday. It is a heck of a ride and really gets attention. It took me about thre months from ordering to receing and I did pay sticker (although I did get the $1k Chrysler rebate (joke considering the rate they gave me) and I bargained them to give me deeps discounts on the extras I wanted (warranty paint protectant etc.))
 
Being used to bargainin my way on cars it was frustrating not having the upper hand but I just chaulk it up to a good idea and popular product.
 
Now my problem: I have the REC (nav) radio. I turned own the volume this morning and the volume bar graph now says "mute". I went to turn it back up and now the sound will not go back up. The nav voice prompts do work but the Radio does not put out sound for any band (AM,FM SIRIUS, or CD). Being Friday before Labor Day none of the Mopar dealers around me would even look at it. Guess that's a weekend with no sound . If this is a notion of things to come I'm so glad I sprung for the extended warranty.

you have to account for human error. This may have just been one of those that got through the cracks. I hope you will have a lot less problems with your vehicle.The Mopar people are supposed to do their job.Consider contacting Chrysler with a customer complaint. You probably would have got a better deal if you would have waited till they got on the lots. That way you would have had more negotiating power. Always work with more than one dealer and let them know you are working with more than one dealer. Competition brings down prices. That's one of your best negotiating leverages. Did you get the vehicle fully loaded?

Greeting to all! Picked up my MAGnesium MAGnum on Saturday and yeah, it's got a Hemi! Amazing car, makes me giggle like a little kid. I got the $1000.00 cash from Chrysler. Wound up paying right at sticker. The power pedals (convienience group II) are worth the price. Not sure about Sirius yet, but $195.00 with free activation and a free years service is not bad. I look forward to comparing notes with other Magnum owners (especially RT)
