RE: Aftermarket product listing for the Stratus Sedan
you have to make it custom it's a peice of cake though.
1.movethe battery to the trunk...it's easyer then it sounds (if you did good you spent about $120 maybe a littlemore i cant remember how much it cost me to move my battery in the neon)
2. go get almostany air intake system for thefirst gen cloud (95-99 stratus) ($20-$120) used or new
3. go and make ormod a extra pipe to work...i know you can use a moddedwai intake from a first gen neon (95-99) with a weopon r intake for the stratus
4. cut out the area where the new extension (pipe) will go (ther area abovewhere the battey was...this is also where you would run ic pipes) if you need a pic of the area i can get it
...hope this helps alittle i dont useallypost over here...most of the stratus owners over here are notsmart enough to mod their car for speed no offencebut you guys seem to like looks more then good old speed.
RE: Aftermarket product listing for the Stratus Sedan 2.4!
I've been a Mopar fan for 52 years now; 56 Windsor, 57 300C, 63 Dodge 440 w/383, 68 300 series, 64 330 w/slant head 225. In 1969 I lost my head and went to Fords (owned a Hertz rent-a-car franchise) and stayed with them until 81. Then Dodge Mirada, Plymouth Sundance, several Dodge Diplomas '89, '90 and '91. Now have a 2000 Chrysler Concorde LXI (too cheap to buy a 300M) and last year bought me a '99 stratus w/2.4 for around town. Next to the 300C, the Concorde has been my finest road car. Plenty of oompf with the 3.2, and it gets better mileage around town than my Stratus.
So what has this got to do with "aftermarket"? Don't buy new headlight covers for your early mopar product (the ones made of plastic) Take your power buffer and rubbing compound and shine them up. I bought new covers for the 89 Plymouth Sundance for $140 then my neighbor showed me the trick.

According to what a few posters have said, I believe it essentially winds up being a throttle controller to allow more fuel earlier. I'm not sure if 'flooring it' would produce the same effect or not. Probably the Venom 400 controls the increased flow of fuel better than a fuel throttle lead foot could. I'm not sure how effective the Venom 400 would be.
BUT if you are interested in and/or have serious mods already done, you can buy a junk computer(make sure its the EXACT same car model not just the same year) and swap your computer for the junker. That way, you can send your ECU into JET and they will solder off, reprogram, then re-solder your computer chip for a performance tune. All you do is tell them of the mods you've done and they reprogram your ECU to best utilized the increase performance after you've modded. All you have to do is slap that baby back in once they send it back. Here is a link to this "Import ECU Tune"
So, its a much better option than the Venom 400 could ever be. This is only recommended if you are doing serious modding. A simple air intake isn't worth it. Its more for turbo applications or at least after you've done several performance mods.
No, you're right... It's VERY hard 2 find mods for stratii!!!! Totally sucks!!!! No turbos, no cold airs, no headers, no nothing!!!!
Here's what I've managed 2 do so far to my 02 stratus sedan 2.7 v6:
19'' stern wheels st-4
tires: Nitto NT05's 235 35 19
LED taillights
HID projector headlights
blue LED door handles
unknown exhaust (5 finger discount)
blue LED interior lights
Glow Gauges (SICK!!!) blue/green interchangeable
mounted sirius radio in the woodgrain trim below pass. airbag
threw away the air box
trip computer
sleek window visors
blue LED fake alarm lights
LED license plate lights
took off 120 lbs. of useless crap (spare tire, trunk molding, back seat, etc.)
COMING SOON:
coilovers(2'' + drop hopefully)
custom headers
rear-mounted turbo
My friend got his stratus up to 300 hp before the engine failed, so be careful out there!!!!
(aww, my 1st forum message. How'd I do????)
