300, Charger, Magnum: These are the same car underneath. (Mercedes type rear suspension, Intrepid type front suspension). Rear drive both (AWD available on 300) all The differences: Charger has a slightly larger trunk, more curves in the sheet metal. The degree of "fanciness" depends on the level of each car. While the 300 is generally more luxurious, the Charger can be made nearly as luxurious. I have a 300C (the smaller V8 hemi model--the SRT8 is the bigger V8) which has a good bit of fancy stuff standard--like electric steering wheel tilt, 2 position driver seat memory, etc. Now two years old with 23,000 miles--only problem was a transmission leak from a sensor that plugs into the transmission. Fixed in an hour by dealer.
Base 300 comes with a 2.7 liter V6 (not available in Charger)
300 Touring and Limited and Charger SXT come with 3.5 liter
V6.
300C and Charger RT come with 5.7 liter hemi
300CSRT8 and Charger SRT8 and Super Bee come with 6.1 liter hemi.

Xtec-You were mentioning you have dual exhaust on your SXT.
How do you like it? What brand? Is it a true dual or split? I am considering buying these http://www.hottexhaust.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=16936
but worried about drone. The sample clip sounds good but needed some advice.

I have the Mopar/Borla exhaust,and its set up is like the one your diagram shows.I thought you had the Mopar one.I like it very much.When it was new,it had a mellow sound,now it has a nice sound when your going throught the gears,once you hit 5th and cruise,its quiet.It also helped with my MPG.
I think it looks better then the stock R/T.The Mopar/Borla are made for the Mopars,so its like a factory highpo exhaust.I'm glad I got mine when I did,on Borla website the Exhaust is almost 1k,I paid less then $400,plus $75 install at dealer.I think I got A good deal.

That's a good deal. If you check out moparpartusa.com
http://www.moparpartusa.com/343453.html it sells for $548.
It doesn't appear to be a true dual exhaust.
This set-up won't give you any HP gains its for a better exhaust note and appearance.
I have heard this set-up on youtube and it sounds good.

This setup gives 10hp gain and 6ft.lbs of torque.Its stated on the Borla website.The mechanic who installed my exhaust told me how the stock exhaust was restricted,and this exhaust was a big help.The stock system has a flow of 377cfm,with the Borla its 632cfm,255cfm gain,thats a big differance.Plus its stainless steel,should never rust.

One more question xtec.
What do you think of this product?
Is it as good as yours?
I will be buying soon and appreciate your help.
http://www.wyckoffchryslerparts.com/oemduexsydoc.html
It's cheaper than moparpartusa.
Also, what is a reasonable rate for installation? 1 hour labor?

Thats the same one I have,same part number.It says Mopar but is made by Borla.My chrome tips says Borla right on them.Thats what I meant by being a stock highpo system.Its made for that car and uses stock mounts to put it on.I think its a great system.The labor book calls for 1 1/2 hours install.The dealer I take mine to,knows I was a mechanic so they give me a good rate.I bought my system from my dealer for $368,thats mechanics price.

No luck. Product is discontinued.
Not sure if its worth paying $548+shipping+installation+ taxes when others have payed $200 less. HHP had a sale for $349 last year but it too no longer carries the product.

Moparmaster.com has the exhaust for $382.40.Put in the part #82209611 in the search engine,and it should come up.I almost went with this company, but with my discount,plus no shipping charges,it was cheaper at my dealer.It was 340.80 at the time I looked at Moparmaster.Check your dealer and see what they say,and ask for a discount and see what they do.Most dealers will give you 5% off.Plus you dont get charged for shipping.I hope it works out for you.Good luck!

Not likely they still have it because some vendors aren't updating their product list.
Can't believe they have no phone number, contact is thru email only. With the holiday on Wednesday not sure how fast they will reply.
Thanks again. Will let you know if I get lucky.
