I remember the good old days when a car came out before you bought aftermarket parts for it

not any more! the aftermarket companies are getting more aggressive to gettheir products out before the other guy. this is a good thing. this meens there is going to be quite a bit of interest in this car as far as aftermarket.

One of the hot rodding mags got ahold of a Challenger SRT8, and (like you) the first thing they did was install an aftermarket exhaust.

Funny thing.

The aftermarket exhaust was more restrictive than the one from the factory. Turns out, the aftermarket exhaust had a smaller diameter than the aftermarket one. If I remember, I've also read that the Challenger SRT8's mufflers are perhaps better than any available aftermarket item.

Both cases, it was Borla.


Wait till it's actually in showrooms and you've heard the exhause tone yourself and read about how efficient it is (or isn't) before blowing that hard earned money that might have better use elsewhere in the car.
The 2.5 was a early test and when Hot Rod returned the car Borla had a 2.75 developed.Worth 17 h.p on dyno.This from Aug.08 Challenger bolton test.

I can't wait to get my 2SS and throw two big shiny APC sport compact mufflers on it...NOT!!! I've narrowed it down to 3 options. Borla, Corsa, or Billy Boat Bullets!

Going with glasspacks here
Actually some Z06 mufflers(with the bypass) would be my first choice!

3D/CAD/UG/data files have been released to companies for several months. Since the companies typically use compatible software to design their parts, they can get a large majority of the part design and production planning done before they ever get a car in their possession.

True but how would they have been able to dyno test one? How would they get flow data/performace gains without a test mule?
