I had similar questions a few weeks back concerning my srt6 and from what I discovered aside from the dual CAI looking cooler than the single you are not going to get any real benefit from it.The dual kit claims insane cfm flow rates ,more in my opinion than even the srt6 engine needs.If a cool looking intake setup is what you want go for the dual setup but the single kit is plenty good performance wise especially for an na car.As far as the exhaust goes from what I've read exhaust mods don't give much of a performance upgrade to these cars its more of an exhaust note preference.From what I've heard on posted videos I personally like the resonator delete with the megan muffler its not too loud yet gives it a nice deeper tone.To me the magnaflow just sounded too loud and droning but again thats just my opinion its all about what you like I like the thoaty sound the megan gives and people that own them say they dont make you deaf on the highway when cruising.Hope this helps you decide.

I went with the dcai on my na. I also deleted all 4 cats. That is the real exhaust mod, cat-backs dont do much. I also got the evo sport pully kit and deleted my air conditioning, magnecor kv 85's, ngk irridium ix's, updated fuel filter, wideband and soon an inmotion tune. Ive timed 0-60's around 5 seconds flat with sub 70 degree air temparature.

When you removed all four Cat's, were you able to pass emissions. I live in CT and the Mod's are no good if I can't keep the car registered. Also, is the car loud and does it have any drone. If you have a sound clip I'd love to hear it. Thanks, Ramono.

I was one of the first to covert from a single cai to a dual, and was skeptical as well. I have the dual on both my cars now...so you make the choice. Not here to debate anyone, but the difference was significant.
