SRT exhaust on a 3.5L

[fam0516]

so i heard that i would lose HP and it would be useless for me to do a true dual conversion on my v6. I got a friend that will sell me his stock srt exhaust for the cheap but im trying to find out how easy would it be to remove my exhaust and install this SRT dual?? someone help me!! thanks

I was putting the SRT exhaust on but from a dealer it's very pricey. I ended up putting in a custom made custom designed TRUE DUEL. It looks good, sounds good and I felt a few extra ponies right out of the gate...

nice pic raredog! I was going to get blastin bob but then I got offered a good deal on an srt set! I'm just trying to see if it's a pretty easy install? If there is anything I need to purchase besides the exhaust?? All I gotta do is cut and weld or is it more advance that that!! I want true duals. It if they will be pricey I'll just got with the $300 blastin bob set!

I have a custom magnaflow true dual on my sxt.

The srt exhaust is a 2.5" pipe (If I remember correctly) and the sxt pipe is a 2.25". The extra 1/4 inch does make a big difference.

As far as losing hp with true duals...what really happens is your power band gets shifted higher into the rpm range.

The 3.5 v6 does do well with the y-pipe into a single exhuast and that configuration allows the power band to start low in the rpm range.

If you go true dual, I would suggest using an x-pipe to better optimize your exhaust scavenging.

If you do straight pipes from the convertors out without joining the banks then you will feel some loss in engine power.

I kept the factory convertors and did not have any issues there.

I forgot how much I spent on the x-pipe and two mufflers, but it was definately cheaper than buying locally. I ordered them from ebay and I found what I needed at very good prices.

The piping and welding is where majority of your costs will come from.

Other than that, you would actually be better off getting a custom exhaust done in 2.25" piping than throwing on the srt factory exhaust.

Good luck on your quest.

Zoomer's give you more HP. X pipe comes with it. You will sound like a V8 as well. Anyone that doesn't believe can come over for proof. But ya ya ya, you don't want to spend that much. I know
