From my experience as an Auto shop teacher and computers teacher, any modifications you make to an automobile does not void the warranty directly (per legislation). It may only void the warranty if THEY can prove that the modifications you made are what caused the problem on hand. Just make sure any mods you make you keep complete and accurate paper work and records on if you are afraid of the manufacuture. If you are told that certain things will void your warranty have the dealership show you in writing that what they are saying is true.</P>

In response to the exhaust situation, for dual exhaust I know flow master as of Oct. 15 doesnt have a recommended muffler. And from reading some other bulletins specifically for Hemi owners they put a true dual exhaust on and actually lost horsepower verified by dyno testing. They wonder if Dodge got it right from the factory.. heheh<IMG src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0"> although they enjoyed the sound of the exhaust.</P><edited><editID>labioso11</editID><editDate>37928.6346643519</editDate></edited>

 

I think why there is no aftermarket for the 5.7 is that it is the newest dodge engine. But give the aftermarket some time and there should be a good sized aftermarket

 

<FONT size=1>Update. I ordered the Borla dual system for my HEMI Ram and did not like thesound and i lost rwhp. So i took it to my budies mufler shop and told him i wanted 2.50 inch duals with dual cats and flowmaster muffs exiting behind the wheels with chrome tips. This set up sounds good. It rumbles instead of growls and i can spin 'em thruthird gearfrom a dead stop. Now i just need to do something with that autoTrans.<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></FONT></P>

SPIN'EM THRU THIRD GEAR <IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0"><IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0"><IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0"><IMG src=smileys/smiley3.gif border="0">. I have JBA headers and a Dynomax Ultraflow race muffler with dual 2.5's coming out in front of the rear wheel but I can only spin'em until I hit second! Maybe it's because I'm spinning the stock 265/70/17 all-terrains??</P>

 

It also might depend on the series of truck. The 1500 should be the lightest.

 

After hearing about the Hemi being a throw away<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0">, the SRT-4 is looking ALOT better.
