Dodge Magnum Exhuast

Re: Dodge Magnum Exhuast

I think i'll go with the borla catback system 125. Borla is pricey but like mark said, they are high performance and priced accordingly. I emailed borla with some ?'s and this is what they had to say....
Hello,
Thanks for your interest in our product! It sounds like you've already
convinced yourself of the 140125! I joke, but in all actuality it is
our most popular part for your car & it's what I would recommend for you
as well. The 140112 is just a peep louder than stock at idle & will
open up a little more at WOT. The 140125 is noticeably louder at stock
but not obnoxious. At light throttle you'll just barely hear the hint
of an aftermarket exhaust system. As you do accelerate with the 140125
you'll hear more of the deep, throaty, growl. At cruising speeds it
mellows/evens out. And at WOT it's what the exhaust SHOULD sound like
from the factory! I would also recommend checking out www.YouTube.com
for video clips if you haven't already. If you have any other questions
please let me know.

Just what I'm looking for!

If you are looking for information and knowledge on the 'LX' cars (Magnum,300,Charger) you can't do better than hooking up with 'lxforums.com'. Search for my posts, I've done several writeups, I'm 'MikeEast' over there as well...

I have a Zoomers catback on my Magnum RT and it's the last exhaust change I'll be making - it's V4.0 and I've easily spent twice what I paid for while trying out other flavors and configs. I also gained a repeatable 25 ft lbs of torque after installing the Zoomers. (repeatable within 5 ftlbs, two different dynos, two different times)

Good Luck with your choice and let us know what you came up with!

The cut outs can be electric.

Re: Dodge Magnum Exhuast

Just straight pipe that beast...seriously.

No but whatever you do, put cut outs in, it'll sound so nice!

I used to have a dodge ram with straight pipes on it. It sounded awesome and i could set off car alarms in parking lots just starting it!

the cut offs...are those electric? I think I came across some on my internet search.

Re: Dodge Magnum Exhuast

another option is to get the in-house piping and just buy the name brand muffler and tips. That will cut the price down a lot. The difference in "performance" will not be noticeable on a daily driver by any means.

very nice! I've sent some emails to local shops and i'll be calling around tomorrow.

The magnum may be in thursday

Re: Dodge Magnum Exhuast

Yikes, I don't know. I got an SVT Borla stainless system for $225 before installation direct from Ford Racing.

My Magnaflow systems I always bought from the installation shops themselves.

Online isn't that great for exhaust shopping IME, try local shops.

I'll start calling around town soon. I did find a borla catback system on jegs.com for $779

Re: Dodge Magnum Exhuast

I've been looking at exhaust systems so much lately its all I think about!! I hear it in my sleep, my 3 year son makes the noise while driving his power wheels from hearing the audio clips!! he calls it "ner" "ner"

So far i found a magnaflow system at $828 and a borla system a $1000. I just cant find them for any less.

Mark-whats your secret???

Re: Dodge Magnum Exhuast

I have flowmaster 2-chamber mufflers on my Magnum R/T and left the factory resonators on so I can still hear myself think.You can tell it has flows but your head does not explode on the highway.If you want it louder have the mufflers installed and have the resonators removed and whoa!!

super 40 series mufflers are louder than the 2-chamber muffler?

Re: Dodge Magnum Exhuast

I'm not sure about your exact application. I would try and google your application and write down the part numbers. See if there is variance.

My guess is there will be a stainless steel option (costs more, lasts longer, especially if you have snow or lots of wet weather), or aluminum piping (cheaper, but still should last 10+ years in a non-snow belt area).


Usually there are 2 different options for each vehicle.

I'll need the stainless here in wisconsin. I did some further checking and found exhaust systems at $600-700 were all for 6cyl. Found a borla system for $780 on ebay.

Re: Dodge Magnum Exhuast

If a borla system runs under $600 that is definately what I'll get. Does Borla have different types of exhausts? If so what should I get?

Re: Dodge Magnum Exhuast

Well there is your problem! That's mark-up city.

Call local exhaust shops and get quotes. Expect LARGE variances from one to the next.
