) and I still haven't removed the resonator, yet.Ill be interested in a system with no cats, maybe one or two resonators just so its not retarted loud. O2 eliminators if necessary becuase i dont want a cel...tired of the turbo honda ricer days with cel on all the time.

Re: srt6 exhaust
You can get a nice 2.5" custom exhaust for around $300. For the size of the motor and the boost level I would not go less than 2.5". When I moved my exhaust on my 2.7l supercharged motor from 2.25" to 2.5" I went from a 103mph trap speed to a 105mph trap speed. It made a really nice difference and would make an even bigger difference on the srt6. You could always get an electric cutout installed and leave it closed or only partially open on the street and open on the track if you want to keep it quiet on the highway.

Then I discovered that Magnaflow gets +$550 (sale price) for their SS setup, http://www.lmperformance.com/18229/77.html and Borla ask's more then $750 for their setup (sale price) http://www.lmperformance.com/6960/77.html.
That makes the $600 for Stainless Steel dual exhaust, dual muffller setup for the SRT6 I was looking at from Burns look like a steal...

Re: srt6 exhaust
Sounds like a great plan, my preferences:
Feel free to skip to the end for the summation.
Shorty stepped headers, that can produce measurable positive performance results and be installed to the factory system if need be.
Cat Back or header back system, as you said...bolt in complete system to maintain continuity of the original exhaust in the basement. My memory says the factory SRT6 system is already 2.5”, not sure you have much room to gain here…other than a more efficient muffler.
Incorporate Hi Flow cats; new ones are so good, that performance losses with them aren't an issue for a street car. Plus no fears of the SES dash board glow. Also, those of us living in states that require safety and emissions inspection to include visual inspection of the cats need them. (Even Michigan will someday have vehicle inspections; you’d think they would want to with all the cars with broken ball joints littering 94 and the Lodge)
Use a quiet muffler, or have a quiet muffler option for those of us that aren’t trying to impress our middle aged girl friends or high school football team…
Any system just needs to make more power, quietly and without illuminating the SES and of course as you noted, in stainless steel

give me some wish lists here from the start please, so far we should end up with 1.75" primaries, to a 2.25 or 2.50" collectors, merging both banks into a 3" all the way back, we can set it up from the get go with quick change cats/cutouts/straight pipes by just adding properly placed dissasembly flanges.

Re: srt6 exhaust
oem parts...
exh manifold
primary's 1.40"
collector 1.75"
downpipes 2.25"
4 cat converters
catback, merges into 2.75"
resonator
muffler
here is what i have in mind, i think this shoudl suit everyone by makign everythign flanged to swap in/out, it will most liekly be 3 bolt flanges but i coudl do it all in vbands but that will get expensive quick at $100 per flange pair. depending on which flange setup we use there may be a flex section or 2 added into the mix.

Re: srt6 exhaust
On a prissy car like this, are you sure you want 3 bolt header gaskets leaking all the time? The ball and socket flanges cost that much? Personally...I'd pay more to ensure a leak proof seal. Especially when most people overtorque and bend the flange...they are going to blame you.

I think this is a great idea because even if the whole system is a lil expensive, people can buy in pieces till they get the whole thing, then install. Plus the fact that nobody can complain about a feature not present as they would be able to basically build it to their liking. Smart move Needswings, and go with the better flange.

Re: srt6 exhaust
I ran into several issues when I looked into going with dual pipes and/or dual mufflers. (other then $$) But nothing that couldn't be solved if your willing to sacrifice ground clearance.
I look forward to seeing the final design, fit and sound. No one else out there offers a bolt on solution for our cars.
Would you need to purchase the entire system from headers to tips or could we just purchase the components from the flanges (at the crossover pipe) on back?

we could make a quick little 4-cat delete pipe for you guys but that wouldnt bolt up to the new headers (since the factory header is a 1.75" outlet).

Re: srt6 exhaust
I realize the above drawing is just a rough scetch. Are the headers going to be equal length(due to lack of space im guessing not)? It does however appears they are not log style. Is the inner diameter of the collector truly going to be 2.25"?
Any more info on the design would be great.

I have other things I want to buy non car related too but its hard to say no to more power. I'll probably just purchase NW exhaust slowly piece by piece till I have the whole thing. Power definitely corrupts.
That's what I had to do...lol, and it has worked so far. It will be sad when my Christmas list this year will consist of two SRT-6 performance website links.
