Lose Your Suitcase!
Hello all,
I just had the "suitcase" muffler (big unit in the middle of the car) removed from my Magnum RT RWD. Sounds unbelievable. I just had two bent pieces of pipe put in place and it cost 80 bucks to do. As soon as I left the exhaust shop a large SUV packed with people pulled up and finally asked the question I've been wanting to hear:
"Does that thing have a Hemi!?"
I smiled and nodded and as the light turned green I floored it all the while they were cheering me on.
Probably the coolest moment I've had yet in the car and worth every penny I spent.
Has a great grumble to it with little or no drone in the car (radio at a low volume drowns it out with windows up.) The TRUE sound of the engine is pure music. If you rev the car in a parking lot people pop their heads out to take a peak.
I highly recommend this for those "moddin' on a budget. I'll probably end up with a BORLA system down the line but for now it did what I wanted for not alot of money.

RE: Lose Your Suitcase!
Von Doom,
OK, I had the same thing doen to mine. I agree it sounds great, but only to a point. Do you like the sound as you wind out first at 40+ MPH and it shifts into 2nd? I feel it is kind of farty at the end... Too much blow-by... Is yours the same? I am debating to go have some mufflers installed to solve this issue. A bit more resistance would create a deeper, yet quieter growl while softening the drone at the same time, a shorter rev down time and eliminate the too much blow-by issue... Not to mention that this is the most commonly recommended Exhaust Mod on both of the Magnum Sites...
Please post your feedback!

RE: Lose Your Suitcase!
I have an 06 Magnum R/T, I had the suitcase and resinators removed and had series 40 flowmasters installed. The car sounds awesome, but is there a fix for the drone sound I have aquired now?. Also has anyone heard that doing this was actually taking away from the performance because of the amount of backpressure being taken away?
