Indy - I was originally an engineer so I tend to get really into the mechanics of a car (any car). There's a great speed shop down here in South Florida that I have used to have a lot of work done on various cars (AMG Mercedes, 69 GTO, etc) and they let me do my dyno run after hours. The Durango is supposed to be a "family car" for me, but i can't let that Hemi sit idle! I initially wanted to make my own version of an SRT - not sure where I'll end up going with it. I'm satisfied with the R/T suspension. I do want to upgrade the tires and have the rims powder coated. Not sure how much more engine work I'll do. It's honestly running so well now I don't think I want to mess with it much more.

Hey great sound, can you record one from a little farther back, I'm trying to get an idea from say 20 feet or so. I park in the garage and don't want to blow the family out every time I'm out the door at 6 am.
Thanks in advance

Sounds good... but a tad to loud. Could just be the clip. How about an outside, diff distances, etc.

Nice fabrication BTW!

Indy - the video sound isn't great. It's not quite as obnoxiously loud in person. I'll shoot a video outside. As for double post...user error LOL. My son uploaded the video to a new thread inadvertently

PowerDD - it wont wake the family! It actually is quieter than my AMG stock exhaust.

Did you ever dig up your dyno charts?
