Help....I need an upgrade plan...
Hello all...I just purchased an 05 SRT4 and am trying to sift through all of the upgrade options. When it's all said and done, I guess I see my goal as a stage 2 or 3 with upgraded intake, exhaust, wastegate, yada yada.... Since marriage and kids have me on somewhat of a budget, I'd like to get the most bang for the buck and all mods will have to be done in stages. Finally, I guess my only constraint is noise level. I've read several posts that say certain exhausts yield in-car noise levels that are somewhat obnoxious. Keeping that in mind, I want the most HP and TQ..... Any comments or suggestions??

Here's one place to start: http://www.modernperformance.com/dcx/srt4_faq.htm
And here's another: http://www.srtforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116005
Unfortunately neither one deals with braking/handling mods, since so many owners are into straight-line speed above all else.
Hope this helps.

On the exhaust, a full 3" exhaust with dual mufflers will sound great and lose all the drone that the car makes on the highway. There are a couple out there. I would personally talk to Scott at Maxxfabb and let him know exactly what you are looking for - he has never steered me or anyone I know wrong, does good work and is fair - he'll point you in the right direction (and maybe sell you an exhaust).
Oy - big plug there - but I think he deserves it.
