gn300, please dont think im being critical of your mod, sounds cool. Your post reminds me of an old trick we pulled with Dodge DIplomats back in the late 80's. Used to flip the air filter cover on the top of the engine so it was kind of like a warped form of cold air induction INTO the carburetor. Made that car sound sweeeet (in a squirrelly way)

[gn300]

yes bet cheap $2995 can be good too

Isn't it true that half the sales are Hemi's?

[HighHorseman]

Isn't it true that half the sales are Hemi's?I haven't seen the exact numbers but of all of the Magnum's I see on the roads, the R/T's are few and far between.

[gn300]

The 3.5 is also a hemi is it not sure it is look at the plugs and the performance is good for a six

It's late May and still no Magnaflow. Any updated release date?

[HighHorseman]

As of today, they didn't have much more information on it. The part number is in their system but they aren't showing an expected release date as of yet so the assumption is that is may still be six to eight weeks away... which is what we expected six to eight weeks ago, lol. I wouldn't expect the wait to be much longer. :roll:

Who has actually done any of these things, and what?

What difference did it make in MPG and Performance?

Just trying to make up my mind on a list of things to get done, or just leave it as is!

Thanks Guys

I have the following on mine and have probably gotten 4 mpg (realistically) and my ego says I have gotten about 16 hp:

1. Eibach Springs
2. Aircharger by K&N
3. Zoomers SINGLE Exhaust
4. Aftermarket Grille (TRex)
5. Fog Light kit
6. R/T Chrome rims on 255/55/18 BFG's

SXT ZOOMERS!!!!!! Give us a clip man, give us a clip!!! What do you think of the exhaust?

Zoomers is supposed to have my car up on their rack to take some pics and some video. Once that is done, all should be able to hear.

Keep in mind this is a SINGLE set up, not a DUAL.

[l1tech]

But they are producing a dual setup also!!!!!

Understood, but do you like it? How's it sound? Deep? Louder? Mean?

[Old Navy]

The signal exuast set-up is probably a cost saving thing because mfg may consider V6 owner as more $$$ penching then the RT owner. The only reason I don't do duels on the SE is the need to change the rear bumper cover for a clean OEM look and $$$ that would cost. I have thought about a single exuast system but just can't get past the "Ricer Fart Can" look and sound that this setup may have.

[orangess1]

**** throw a nitrous kit on it... 100 shot will pick u you nicely...

[FOHN_JARGO]

The 3.5 has got 24 valves. A hemi has just two much bigger valves per cylinder. This is achieved by having a domed cylinder. The 3.5 must be flat. There is not enough room for two big valves.

Just let me say as having a car with a 'fart can' on it that this system that zoomers put on mine far exceeds what I had anticipated. There is no farting going on here and their is no 'fart can look'. The resonator is tucked up in the belly of the car and the tip is tucked nicely into the bumper. Look at the photos and video http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=15287

It's got a low burble at idle, a loud roar at WOT and a nice cruzin sound that dosent' upset the missus or wake my lil 1yr old nephew as he is nappin. Having the system for about a week now it has started to 'break in' and the sound and performance is quieter and better. VERY HAPPY with mine and strongly recommend it to all the V6 owners. Besides if ya don't like they'll give your money back, heres the quote from their website:
Zoomers Exhaust Works backs all performance exhaust products with a 110%
money-back satisfaction guarantee, and a lifetime warranty against defects or failure. All of Zoomers Exhaust Works performance products are constructed from the highest quality aerospace materials.

So what do you got to lose?:thumbs_u:

[HighHorseman]

And now you can add the Magnaflow systems for the 3.5L's to the list of products on the market. We have them ready to ship out and at a lower price than anticipated.

On the down side it has a belt driven cam. :doh:

[COLORADOMAGNUM]

I have only one thing to add...Zoomers rock!!!

[djchronz]

[ASU_Magnum]

dont forget about nitrous :P

[GR8DODG]

Is the Jet Chip actually worth the $$?

[Aikidoka]

Is the Jet Chip actually worth the $$?I've been asking the same question.

[ChargLex]

I've just received mine and will be looking for the reported "crisper" transmission shifts (thanks only to an increase in trans fluid pressure, apparently) and for any performance increase. I'm also gonna be keeping an eye on my chrome exhaust tips for soot (others have reported the chip eliminates the soot, meaning a cleaner burn).

The 3.5 has got 24 valves. A hemi has just two much bigger valves per cylinder. This is achieved by having a domed cylinder. The 3.5 must be flat. There is not enough room for two big valves.
The 3.5L is not flat, it's more hemispherical than the 5.7 actually... here are some pics out of the 2006 LX service manual. I think that it is indeed a HEMI design.

[Chaos]

The 5.7L is not really a hemi, at least not like the origonal 426, as the sides are filled in a little, the origonal 426 Hemis were truly hemispherical in shape.
Below is the 5.7L Hemi combustion chamber.
http://www.boomspeed.com/guyver/20020826-1_1a.jpgThis design is more indicative of the Boss 429 Semi-Hemi heads. =>http://www.boomspeed.com/guyver/20020826-1_2.jpg




Here is a better pic of the 3.5L from the manual.

I, along with a bunch of you, have had the throttle lag below 2800rpm....

Well, a lot of people said the Throttle Callibration does nothing, but I believe that is because you did it on the 5.7, which has good acceleration at low rpm. Anyway, I did it on my 3.5L, and where as it doesn't make you scald the tires, the throttle is a lot more smooth and even at low RPM...

It used to be, I stomped the gas, and the car would just lag off the line till about 3000rpm, then 'WTF', it would accelerate like a Jet taking off on the run way, setting you back in the seat.

Now, there is a lot smoother transition, you get a smooth, hard, even acceleration, with a slight pick up at 3000ish rpm.... The lag is almost completely gone.

This is with the MDS swittched off.

Proceedure;
a) Turn the ignition ot on and wait for the idiot lights to go out, the last one for me was the ABS.
b) Fully depress the accelerator and release... The faster you do this, the better the throttle response. You can do this slow to reduce a throttle you feel is too sensative. (possible on the HEMI''s I guess)
c) Turn your car off.

Start her up and check her out. Repeat as necessary to get the desired results.

I really noticed a difference.

[oneweasel_fz]

That should do it!


LOL that was a good one...lol

[eunospeed]

I did a search but can't find any info on what hp increase the following would have on a 3.5:

-Headers
-Exhaust
-CAI
-ECU Tune

I would hope for at least 20hp/tq increase...... if not is all the cost worth it?

[tlrche]

Check the vendor section for Hammer Motorsports and the Hammer H.O [ intake for the 3.5 ] there is a dyno and it DOES make more H.P!

You've got the same mods I'm planning to do. You wouldn't happen to have a before and after dyno would you? Or maybe a 1/4 mile run or two? Looking for a little justification:thumbs_u:.

NOT dynod yet. BUT plannin real soon.Still waiting on a true tuner for the v6!!

[eunospeed]

Yeah, a true tuner is the way to go. I would also hope that a tuner would allow us to run a supercharger without an aux injector set-up. I hope a tuner is avalible next year, I'm going to start with it first.

[PAMagnumguy]

Whatever happened with this stuff, I found this thread very interesting!

I found this and am considering picking it up:
