There is no "Trak Pak", 08 or 09.

 

My understanding/assumption (read it some where or was told) that Trak Pak comes automatically as part of the 09 SRT8 6 speed manual option (DEC).

This would include the improved differential, etc.

Does anyone really know?

Trak Pak does indeed exist. Overpowered is correct.

Trak Pak is not really an "option" you can't specifically choose to have Trak Pak in of itself. Trak Pak is an automatically included package if you select the following packages:

[ On an SE ]
NONE

[ On an R/T ]
27F (6-Speed Manual Tremec)
27J (6-Speed Manual Tremec w/Popular Equipment Group)

[ On an SRT8 ]
21X (6-Speed Manual Tremec)

The Trak Pak package is code "DEC" as Overpowered says. You inherently get it if you choose any of the above packages, and you cannot get it if you do not have one of the above packages. Basically, if you select a 6-Speed Manual you get Trak Pak.

This is per the Chrysler document PDF that was leaked on 05/12/2008 as well as per their "buyer's guide" on dodge.com. This information is reinforced on sites like Allpar

Trak Pak consists of HSA (Hill Start Assist), Bright Pedal Covers, a "FULL OFF" ESP switch, and resonators replacing the muffler. -- The post I am trying to find mentioned (as a rumor) what the exhaust diameters were -- so I'm trying to find that. But, Trak Pak definitely exists.

 

I posted the exhaust measurements a little while back. I can't remember which thread it was. The exhaust varied in pipe diameter and whether it had 2 resonators or a muffler. The trac pac does not affect exhaust specs. In a nutshell:

SE: Single exhaust with a 2.5” pipe; rolled muffler, single rear resonator, and single
outlet.
R/T Auto: Dual exhaust with 2.25” pipes, single muffler; dual rear
resonators; and dual exhaust tips.
R/T Manual: Dual exhaust with 2.5” pipes, 2 bottle resonators (replaces the muffler
from the automatic transmission system); dual rear resonators, and dual exhaust tips.
SRT Auto: Dual exhaust with 2.75” pipe; single muffler; dual rear
resonators; and dual exhaust tips.
SRT Manual: Dual exhaust with 2.75” pipes, 2 bottle resonators (replaces the
muffler from the automatic transmission system); dual rear resonators, and dual
exhaust tips.

 

Oh god it wasn't a dream! Hahaha

Thanks very much 1971Chall -- I can actually get some sleep now Great info. Odd how I thought I remembered the SRT Manual having larger pipes than the SRT Auto -- oh well, guess it was just me manipulating my memory into what I wanted it to be

Thanks much!

 

No problem. I would have replied sooner but I haven't been able to keep up with the forums as well since the nice weather came. Been out in the garage :-) The manual trans cars are using the resonators to give them a little more aggressive tone.

 

and it is all good. thanks for the info.

 

Venthos,

Thanks for the validation. I'm glad it's all part of the 6 speed package I'm getting.

How's it going? When I bought my '06 Charger R/T (5.7L Hemi), I had the resonator removed and replaced with straight pipe. I asked the dealer service before I did this and they replied that not only would it not affect the warranty, but DO IT...it sounds great and adds a few HP!! Do you know if this should be done with a 6.1L Hemi with auto-trans?

Thanx, Dave

 

you can't have strait pipes on cars in MA you have to have mufflers
