Hey all, first I would like to say hello. I'm a long time reader, first time poster and a recent Avenger R/T owner.
I sell American Spec Chrysler family vehicles in Japan and as a dealer I just had to buy the '08 Avenger that showed up on my lot. I love it. Great power for a V6, great handling... so long as you aren't backing into a parking spot here in Japan... The hard lines and aggressive front end are what sold me, though.
My real question for you all is this... What can I do about the intake and the exhaust. I've found plenty of performance parts for the 2.4L 4CYL but nothing for the R/T except a lowering kit and a Jet chip... Not getting a chip before I do something with intake and exhaust. I've seen a few homemade intakes and I am really impressed by the mod you guys did to the air box. Way to go on removing the useless baffles. But does anyone know of an open box air filter that can be used to fit? If so, what part number and what company? Or how about an exhaust set that fits? I've heard Borla makes one that can be used to fit...
The real problem I'm having is finding the parts that will fit over here... I don't want to spend a horrible amount on shipping something over here to me if its not going to work for this car...
So any help would be great.
I'll also be putting up some pics over the next few days. I've got some decent vinyl work and have added a nice set of Halo running lights. The vinyl is temporary. I'm going to leave it on there for another month or so and if I still really enjoy it I'll have it removed and get a matching paint job. That is one thing that I can have done over here... the paint work is really high quality and very cheap.
Ride on!
