Hey guys,
I just wanted to let you know that I have been in contact with Ron at Zoomers exhaust regarding a system for our trucks since November... It looks like we are shooting for the end of this month to get started on the prototype (we have been trying to coordinate our schedules).
I'm looking forward to getting a less restrictive system on my Jeep to see what kind numbers it puts down. Ron told me that they plan on doing some baseline dyno runs before he takes off the stock system to see where were at. He'll then put it back on the dyno to see what kind of numbers we get with the new system. They recently got dyno #'s for the 300 SRT8 they were Horsepower: 22.6 HP gain @6100rpm, 21.8 HP gain @5400rpm, 16.8 HP gain @4200rpm Torque: 23.5Ft-lbs @3700rpm, 20.3 Ft-lbs @4700rpm, 18.2 Ft-lbs @5600rpm.....
Monday March 27th is the day. I just got off the phone with Ron and set everything up. He is very excited to get this project going (very impressed with all the enthusiasm with these Trucks). Once the prototype is made the turn around time for the actual system is a few weeks. The actual cat-back will use the same material as used in the other SRT8 systems (all stainless steel) 3 inch all the way back with an x-pipe. It will be similar looking to the Magnum’s set up check this out:1.

As for cost Ron told me that will depend on how involved the system gets. He expects the cost to be similar to the other SRT8 systems or a little less. As for the group purchase, the more guys we get on board the better. We can expect to get a least a few hundred dollars off (possibly more depending on how many guys we get). I think we have 14 on board so far so it’s looking good.
