Please share it will help to inform these novices.
The catback was like $650 and the CAI was like $250. I knew neither was going to give me huge gains on the Challenger, but the stock air box looked like a microwave and the stock exhaust sounded like a sewing machine LOL

Both had big value to me outside of the measly 15HP they picked up, which by the way I NEVER felt seat of the pants....guess my butt dyno is off?

The motor and supercharger, and all that....sheesh I didn't even keep track, but it wasn't cheap. I sold a CBR1000RR Repsol Edition to buy the blower.

It costs money to go fast. Challenger runs 11.50s at 123-124MPH and weighs 4300lbs with me in it. MPH is good for a 10 second pass, I just gotta practice driving the manual trans to get it there.
