leaving the car original?
 
Im having a tough time not putting on exhaust/other things on my r/t. I want to keep it as stock as possible hoping this car will keep its value over the years.... However my buddy works at a muffler shop and can do super44's for under 500.

Help me pick some things out....

I want 50 more horse with doing as little noticeable as possible.

thanks!

Easy, bolt-ons... that's your answer, I'd say a cold-air induction and a tuner program would do just that, on top of that I wouldn't worry too much about an exhaust ugrade as that's one of the most common things, I don't think that will scare to many people away from buying something... The other stuff you can just re-install the factory products...
Ohhh where do you live??? I want some super 44's for my truck... I've got Flowmasters now but it's been 5 years and I was thinking about buying new chrome tips, maybe I'll just re-do the whole exhaust, I love the 44's... Man I want you to get them so I can hear what they sound like:D[:-]

I like the mopar cold air intake and i cut the stock exhaust off within 5 miles. Has magnaflows and the mopar cai and i love it. This winter its getting the diablo tuner or i may go vortex for the supercharger.

Cold Air Intake, Cat Back Exhaust and Diablo tune should get you there no problem. Save your stock stuff and you can get back to stock in half a day any time you want to do so.

I went with the Mopar CAI and Zoomers cat back. Still awaiting the tune...

Where you at in Washington Kyle... North Bend here...

Cheers!

my personal opinion adding things is a big waste of time and money i have spent like 5k extra and really only picked up 55hp. i have put on the mopar cai, magnaflow exhuast,diablo tune, then i went to a guy to dyno and create a custom tune and that cost 1200.00 and after it was said and done i hade 380hp at the rear wheel. i also put the engine strut brace on that was like over 400.00 and i also threw a few other accessories on.

dpas,
Far from money wasted my friend. Now add high flo cats, an X pipe and the cnc ported 84mm TB and you will see the total gains.
You are restricted at the cats, and the stock X weave. A couple steps away from seeing the best gains from the parts you have bolted on....

Hey I put on a STS Remote twin turbo sys and I got about 550 HP at the rear wheels and now i am getting about 5 miles to the gallon better gas mileage see if you can get that with a supercharger

Yea but I am looking for a fix Andre is working on one and I have been talking with Power Ported on the ones they have I need to do somthing quick we have 2 Magazine artciles on my car in the works. I did go out and hunt down one of the badest cars in my city last friday night and smoked him by a car and a half he has a AWD EVO that he has put over 10 grand into it. He beat me last time by 3 cars but my car was stock then. I was told by a friend that when he beat me a few months ago he posted it all over the rice burner sites I wonder what he posted this time???
