yeah I build all the custom cars and trucks you see at Earnhardt's I do their ford, dodge, and nissan lines. Dodge I must say is my favorite. I got the profile thing down I hope. There should be a pic on there now. Thanks for all the help.

Man thats a great looking ride you have.It looks like a SRT8.I love the color and the way you did the hood with the
scoop and the paint.I remember looking at the custom cars and trucks when I was there buying my car.Great job.The photo of my car was when it was new.Since then I added tinted windows and a SRT rear spoiler.The spoiler made a big differance on looks.If you ever come to Tucson for a car show,let me know,I would like to look at your car in person.

there are several aftermarket cold air intakes you can add. That will improve the throttle response and power. as far as exhaust borla flowmaster and magnaflo make a nice single exhaust kit. I wouldn't put duals on the car just because it will make it sound more like a V6 with rumbling and you will actually lose hp. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info, There is a exhaust place here that has a factory dual kit for the V6 3.5. Where can i find the cold air intake for a V6 3.5?

I have a cold air intake on my 2000 300M that I bought from K&N. It has a cone filter, an intake tube that replaces the stock one and a baffle to create a "cold air box" under the hood. To be honest though, I could never really tell any difference in the performance from the K&N intake or from the custom dual exhaust I put on it.
The duals look nice though!

Have you tried driving in 4th all the time rather than overdrive? with most aftermarket exhaust system you will run too rich if you leave the car in overdrive all the time. Just a suggestion.

I would run a single exhaust setup. the duals look great but actually take from the performance of the motor. On the cold air intake I would go to any aftermarket dealer in your area. If you cant find one try ebay. they seem to have stuff pretty cheap there. And as I posted earlier, if you put an exhaust on your car drive it in fourth unless you are on the highway. Any in town driving you will lose performance and waste fuel. hope that helps.

Thinking about a new R/T

I test drove a new Charger R/T on Saturday. Equipped pretty much like I would like, including the Road/Track package. Came very close to closing the deal on Monday, but my wife made a point that makes sense (unfortunately!!). I'm retiring in December, I drive 100+ mile per day to work and back, and my current car (2000 300M) has 135K miles on it now. Her point was to drive the 300M until just before I retire so all those additional miles won't be on my new car. I've loved the 300M (still do), but I was definitely getting the hots for a new Charger.
Oh well, I guess that gives me two reasons to look forward to December!!
