Lots of fun twisty roads here in the mountains of Western NC.
Are there any other SRT6 owners in the Asheville, NC area?

I am looking to start with a few basic mods such as K&N filters, rotex gold pads.
Next I will probably go with taking off the resonator and adding a Sprint Booster.

Where would be the best place to order the SB? The best I an find online is $280 + $20 shipping from the Parts Exporter Store in Hong Kong, but they currently show none available (had 4 two days ago).

Any thoughts on removing the resonator? I like the idea of losing weight and getting a better exhaust note, but do not want to be so loud as to draw police attention.
Also, does removing the resonator boost HP? Any problems with decreased back pressure?

Are there any other inexpensive mods that you would recommend? I will probably do a pulley and ECU upgrade eventually, but not for a while.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Have fun & drive safe.
Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the forum.
What color did you get?

I'll try to answer some of your questions:
SB - Parts Exporter on eBay seems to be the way to go at the moment.
Resonator - From what I read, it is not a whole lot louder, but does sound 'better.' It should give a little more power (I would guess). It is a very common mod among the C32 and SLK32 crowd and I've heard of no issues yet.
You may want to wait on the K&Ns and wait on NeedsWings new intake (it is posted in the SRT6 section).
I recommend the Rotex Golds.
Inexpensive mods? Not much for this car. Most items are fairly big $.

Good luck.
