Hey Insight Mike, have you ever tried an "exhaust cutout?" I watched a video about them on YouTube last night and am drooling over the possibility. For around $200-300 it looks like I could fit one to a section of our pipes before any resonators and get all the sound of the engine. I'm wondering if our engine would sound that good from such an opening or if it would just sound like it had a broken pipe.
What are your thoughts?
Anyone else ever tried this?

NICE! This engine makes up to like 315 horsepower in the charger. they gave us a 31 square inch air box in which the choke off our air supply with in hopes of achieving better mileage. I'm not going to mess with the tune because I'm still under warranty but with the cold air intake in a 4in tube still running from the back of the filter I get a lot of more torque and more importantly a beautiful note when I'm cruising at 2000 RPMs.

I can just Imagine the increase in torque when I bought mine I ran the stock air filter for about 2 months one day while at the car part store they had a promo on K&N filters I decided to get one. Travelling back and forth to work on the expressway I set the cruise at 70 mph there's a gradual incline with the stock filter the van would kick down one gear halfway up the incline the first thing I notice with the K&N filter the van doesn't kick down one gear anymore going up the incline it keeps up speed in high gear with a bit louder engine growl. It's obvious with just that little change as the filter gave it a little boost in torque with your cold air intake it must be an awesome increase.
NOTE: I have found that the cold air makes gripping snowy roads nearly hopeless. HOWEVER, if I hit the ECO button (sadness button) the van drives slow and grips just fine. In fact this van is very good on snow (1" and less) all the way up to 60mph because my van runs 4600lbs (according to the scale at the dump, and I weight 380 currently).
