The way I understand it is:
Charger 5.7 Hemi = 340 hp
Charger R/T any configuration = 350 hp
Charger Daytona has R/T + Flashy graphics = 350 hp
As long as you have the R/T package you already are gaining 10 hp from a free'r flowing exhaust.

Ooops... My mistake, I thought R/T was Road and Track package, but after referencing further information, I see you are correct.
Now, back to my original question. If you already have the ROAD & TRACK package, how much additional performance can you expect with an aftermarket exhaust, when you already have a free flowing factory exhaust?
The only dyno sheets I have seen show 3500 rpm up. They fail to show torque loss at lower rpm because that is not in their best interest. I may be wrong, but I have not seen evidence to support an across the board performance increases, from idle to redline.
If you did not have the ROAD & TRACK package, the aftermarket exhaust system would be a no brainer.

I just put Corsa on mine... sounds good w/no drone.
If you want sound you can go with many... Flowmaster, Magflow... Home grown. Be perpared for the dreaded 2-2.5K Drone.
Here's what I've done so far:
Deleted reses and installing Blastin Bob's 11db tail pipes. Drone...
Installed Dynatech LT headers. More Drone...
Deleted stock suitcase mufflers and installed DynoMax Ultra Flow X muffler. Less Drone, but still Drone.
Deleted from the end of the mid pipes back, installed Corsa CatBack. No Drone. Zoomers will probably give the same end result as Corsa.
Both Corsa or Zoomers are going to co$t. Take your time and look for a group buy if your going with either of these.
