The kit, which includes new headers, a 3-inch exhaust, performance cats, a K&N filter, and a brake upgrade, boosts power from the stock 600 hp to 678
78hp from an exhaust and a K&N filter?

Im guessing they did some fine tuning as well...

Because the numbers are quite better.

3.3 secondsis very impressive for the car's weight, but a new exhaust shouldn't be able to do that. Maybe the badges though

100 miles of "road testing"... Yeah.. Um, I if I had an $80,000+ viper I would not let some grease monkey at the dealer drive it.

These aren't what you would call normal dealers. They aren't just grease monkeys. They build very high performance cars.

It did say though that you can have a kit installed at a regular dodge dealer.
