xtec-finally purchased the mopar exhaust (82209611) and waiting for delivery.
I purchased online from authentic dodge at $389.95.
That's a good price and looking forward to the sound/look.

xtec-Question about Synthetic Oil by batista
Jul 11, 2007 (3:13 pm)
Reply
I just received the mopar/borla order from UPS and will have it installed tomorrow. I was told one hour labor which will cost $95.
 
I had my oil changed yesterday with Quaker State full synthetic 10W30 which the 3.5L requires. Now my car idles at approx. 750 rpms and before it used to idle at 600 rpms.
I don't have the AC on and yet it still higher even after the car is fully warmed.
Do you know why that is?

Transmission Leak O-ring by batista

xtec-Have you had the transmission leak?
Mine started last week after I noticed a small puddle at work. Its a minor fix and took 30 mins at the dealership.
After the fix I still had a few drops this morning.
I guess the tech didn't clean the transmission pan.

Thats where mine idles at,750.I don't know how long you waited since your last oil change,but it shows me that your engine is breaking in,and has less resistance which is good.Synthetic is suppose to have better lubrication then standard oil.I use regular oil from the dealer,but I have it changed every 3 months,and it has about 500 to 700 miles on the change.Wow you got your system fast.$95 is not bad deal.Let me know how you like it,Good luck again.

Mopar dual exhaust has been installed and sounds good.
No exhaust sound when your foot is off the gas pedal which I like.
Haven't taken it past 2500rpms and while stopping can smell the stainless steel heating/burning.
Later tonight will see how it sounds at higher rpms. Traffic is kind of heavy right now.
 
Charger only has 4500 miles and the idle is back down in the 600rpms.

No problem. Once in a while check the ground of your driveway.
 
Thanks for your help with the exhaust questions.
I change my engine oil twice a year with synthetic because 4 times a year with dino oil is too often with only 7000 miles of driving per year.

I'm glad you finally have your duals.It will get a little louder when you get more miles and break it in.But like I said before once your in 5th cruising there is no noise.I have only a couple hundred more miles on my Charger then you.I don't know why your idle did that,but mine is on 750.I hope your happy with it,and enjoy your ride.I'm happy to help out all I can with any questions you may have.

batista-
  How do you like your Exhaust so far?I hope it what you hoped it would be.I have to correct myself on my RPMs.Mine is close to yours.Its in between the 500 line and 750.So its around I would guess about 600 to 700RPMs.I looked on the label under the hood,But it didn't show specs for RPM.
I'm sure yours is correct.
