Original Muffler...Challenger
« on: January 08, 2008 - 07:41:04 PM »
I removed the original mufflers from my Car when I got it. Would you believe they were still on it???  They were sort of blown out...............!! For some reason I didn't measure the body length and tip to tip length.   Anyone out there have those measurements.  I am not going back to original but need the measurements in order not to have the tips sticking out too far or not far enough.   Thanks, David

David, I can get you the exact #s in a few minutes... did you see the 20% off Year one code?New code is JAN8 and is good through 01-16-08"
  They carry replacements for $132 ea so price wise you could not beat them, with the discount by more than $30 or so each using generic undersized items...I suppose your referring to the big 7" round mufflers by the gas tank. The economy way is to put oval mufflers forward of the axle & just use tail pipes to the rear.

Just thought I would add to this thread...


for the last 5 years I have had the TTI 2.5 inch exhaust kit on my Challenger, with the Dynomax turbo mufflers.   always had a drone at cruising rpm, and sounded good on the outside but loud on the inside.  if the ride was longer than 20 minutes, it was a guaranteed earache.

I tried putting on some glass packs behind the mufflers and they took off the idle and mellowed the rasp, but didnt do chit for the drone.


 :working:   just got done putting on the ebody 6pack Accurrate system on to replace it, and wow what a difference.   The system bolted right on (way easier than TTI), except for needing a couple of clearancing hammer hits (the driverside torsion bar and the passenger side fast ratio idler arm (which TTI needed too))  and the sound is perfect.   Finally ! :faint:

it still rumbles at idle, and it still has a noticeable performance sound at 3500+ rpm  but there is no drone at cruise or inside the car while idleing.  I can hear the engine and I can hear the radio.

maybe I lost 10 horsepower but I dont race so Ill never really notice it missing.   :swaying:

Accurate Exhaust has a sale going right now for 10% off.   :money:


the resonators are 2-1/4 diameter, as are the mufflers and the over-axle-pipes,   but on the 6pack kit, the head pipes are 2.5    There is a place that you can slip in a H pipe too, so thats on my summer Welding list of "things to weld".
