    Finally found a shop to install the Ripp for me. It comes with everything I need for $5800, and will cost $1350 to install. Supposed to take me from 265whp to around 428. Got a couple friends who have had them over a year and never had any issues or needed to upgrade ant other parts. They both said their only regret was not doing it sooner.

    Decided that since I purposely bought the V6 because I don't race or take my car to the track, that getting the supercharger didn't make much sense. Instead I am going to upgrade the brake pads and rotors, improve the suspension with KW coil overs while lowering the car a bit, get new tires, get a new sound system, get slightly larger quad tips, and probably a few other things. Makes more sense.

    Check out the Solo performance exhaust for the 3.6. Sounds pretty good to me...

    Gotta say, I agree. Anyone buying the V6 car isn't interested in performance so trying to make it fast just seems silly. Of course you can make it fast but why?

    Wise decision. That supercharger mod would have been A LOT of money that you'd never get back if/when you sold the car and the enjoyment would be minimal since you don't drag race. It would be cool to say you have one and pop the hood at shows and cruise-in's!

    Exactly. I didn't buy the SXT Plus because I couldn't afford the other models with Hemis. I just bought a car that looks exactly the same that is fast enough for me. Drove it 130mph just this week. :)

    My car is mine for life, and will never be sold or upgraded to another model. It would have been fun to a 4.4 0-60 time, but that's not worth spending $7200.00.
