There is a ton of info on other magnum specialized forums (do a search on Google as Edmunds policy prevents me from listing them here). There are several cold air induction options and one forum is performing a "CAI Faceoff" Friday 6/23 which will be including the following CAIs:
- Volant
- K&N Aircharger
- K&N drop-in
- Mopar
- 360 Air Raid
 
As for exhaust, there are aalso a number of options from Borla, Zoomer & Dynamaxx.
 
There is a chip from JetChip, but I've heard mixed reviews. Again, in one forum, they are working on a petition/group buy with the major vendors in programmers.
 
Also, there is a supercharger available from GS Motorsports.

Exhaust Tone by newdodgeman

Any recommendations? I have Flowmaster 40's in place of the stock suitcase and have the stock resonators. I am interested in making the tone deeper, but necessarily louder, though if it had to get somewhat louder that is not a problem. I (think) I want to keep some kind of resonator on because of the drone issue. Any ideas?

Hypertech and Superchips sell a computer reprogrammer.
I bought a drawtite Class II hitch for mine and my 14 yr. old son and I installed it with not much trouble. I bought the hitch and plug in wiring harness that gets powered from the battery from etrailer.com for about $166 with a discount. The Dodge dealer can supply you with a transmission oil cooler for about $90 plus $20 or so for tubing if you want a factory cooler.
Eibach offers front and rear sway bars. I took a look at the arrangement of the rear suspension when I installed the hitch and the rear bar which looks to be about a 1/2" bar appears to be a bear to replace.
I have found cold air induction packages on the internet.

Removable Roof Rack question by lam1027

I have an 05 SXT AWD and would like to add a removable roof rack and carrier. I found both on carmosaic.com (specifically for a Magnum) but I can't find any user reviews on either the rack or carrier. Has anyone tried this?

Performance FAQ - Input Needed by bdoyle733

Hi All,
I'm new to the forum and just picked up my first Magnum (2007 RT AWD 5.7liter Hemi) and am trying to plan my upgrades. I built a spreadsheet that I think would be a huge help to all newbies, perhaps as a FAQ. Anyone with experience or knowledge with these upgrades who can contribute would help us all.
It looks like you can get around 500hp for about $3,000 before even thinking about a supercharger.
 
The basic mods I found were:
 
Custom Fit Ignition Wire Set (15 hp, $150)
MSD Blaster Coils (? hp, $500)
Cold air intake (14 hp, $300)
FLASH Chip/PROGRAMMER (20 hp, $500)
Aft-Cat™ Exhaust (20 hp, $760)
Performance Headers & Exhaust (24 hp, $550)
cat Mid-pipe (n/a, $450)
UnderDrive Pulley Kit (12 hp, $230)
Cam/Spring/Pushrods Kits (60 hp, $525)
Torque Converter (N|A, $400)
Transmission Cooler (N\A, $100)
Suspension upgrade ($1100)
 
I'm looking for input on:
- Install Order (What has to go first and what gives the biggest HP gain for the buck)
- install hrs (how many hours to install if I take it to a speedshop or mechanic)
- hp gain
- Fuel efficiency gain
- Approx Cost (Hardware only)
- does it Void the Warrenty?
- Recommendation Best Value
- Recommendation Best performance (regardless of cost)

Hello bdoyle and welcome to the forum. I am a fairly new owner of a 2005 Magnum RT purchased with only 15,234 miles on it. I have had it for a little over 2 months and I am thinking of some upgrade also. As a stock Hemi, it is extremely quick, but we all want to go faster. My budget is tight right now, and as for starters, I am going with a CAI first. I was thinking of buying one from Mopar, just to keep my warranty in check. I like the additions that you are thinking of making and I am going to copy them down for future references. I will also be watching for more help from the forum and people who are more knowledgeable than I am. Good luck and a good post.

CAI by bbfd86

I put an AFE CAI in my 2005 R/T AWD. I can't feel a difference in horsepower, supposedly it gives an extra 10hp, but the sound is real cool at full throttle!
