I'm approaching my third year with my 2005 SRT6 Roadster. Looking to get the best bang for the buck on performance upgrades. Considering the NW Dual Intake, Magnaflow Muffler and a tune. Estimating approx, $2000 (give or take) for all. I want to keep the car a reliable daily driver for the summers in the North East, Am I in the right track for mild upgrades without compromising reliability?

 

No need for the exhaust unless you want a different tone and not much help with HP. Spend that money on a pulley while you're getting a tune and then pick what cold air intake setup you want. Bingo bango, you're now ready to stomp a nice array of sports and muscle cars. Enjoy!

 

Same boat as you. I just have the NW DCAI and their catch can. I thought about getting a pulley and tune but people having issues down the road with their tune or pulley is not cool to hear.

Like Chuk said, a catback exhaust won't do much at all since the factory SRT-6 exhaust flows very well. If anything a FULL exhaust will save quite a bit of weight if anything and make it loud. But keep it simple and remove the rear resonator and if its not loud enough have the rear CATs removed. I plan on removing my rear CAT's this Spring for a bit of extra noise.

 

Thanks for the responses! I am definitely going to add the intake first. I didn't expect much from the muffler swap but always liked the sound of the Magnaflow mufflers. The Eurocharge sale on the pulley and tune is tempting but not sure I want to change the pulley at this time. Will do the tune once I have finished all the modifications.
Thanks again

 

Revny1964 - you could do the NW CAI (not dual), NW modified intake manifolds and EC tune and pulley(even though you stated you were hesitant about the pulley - your call there). That would be just over $2,000. Need to research if this will get you into any lean issues though. I have the DCAI, code 3 pulley (2nd gen), modified intake manifolds, EC tune and needed to upgrade to the 55 fuel pump. Whatever you choose it will be fun.
