Well, we have dirty heads on our video camera, but I was able to salvage some sound... -I- was the bad camera man!

There is some editing of bad direction(me) and some continuity jumps but...

Cold start, 3 revs (from different spots) (http://home.nc.rr.com/duanec/chargerbros/coldstart-n-3revs-vb.mp3)

A good (no spin) take off by maneval96 (http://home.nc.rr.com/duanec/chargerbros/1st-n-2nd-vb.mp3)

Driveby (charger driving up and passing 4 feet from you at about 60) (http://home.nc.rr.com/duanec/chargerbros/driveby.mp3)

(that's my goofy laugh at the end, bad cameraman!)

Thanks for Maneval96 for not running me down!

hope this helps describe it.

It sounds good with the stock exhaust manifold. But the headers REALLY make the source sound (ie, the engine) come alive.

The headers make it lounder but much more "gurgle" like a V8 should sound.

Some of the header bolts are a PAIN to get to. The O2 sensor extensions need plug keys scraped off the males to make fit. (not a big deal).

No troubles yet, I still need to work the cat back to get more clearance over the now "shimmed" middle body bar (under the exhaust pipe).


Also, I'll be tightening the header bolts in a couple of weeks.

Yes. The magnaflow catback sounds VERY nice just on the stock Hemi. It's a good choice.
$650's not bad at all, I got the catback for $599 from highhorseperformance.com but I also bought the Dynatech headers and cats at the same time.
