my personal 2005 Dodge Magnum R/T. quick walk around.

I'm obsessed with your car dude

[@1chris311]

It's been the best car I have ever owned!!

[@ericktalavera9015]

Looks great , these have grown on me over the years . My dad still has his 05 he picked up in 04 . Gonna start fixing it up for him real soon !

[@scratchcrafter]

I used to have a 2005 all murdered out SXT and I miss it terribly. Used to be part of LX Forums and SOCal Magnums, but that ship has sailed. Went to a charger and now a Ram... gotta love the 5.7 Hemi! great work!

[@esqueue]

Reminds me of my car. My audio system is down as I need to do a lot of cable repair in the hatch on the Amps and change the plastic shift lock mech to a steel one that I purchased. Body mods are very minimal. Crappy aftermarket projector black headlights with the internal projectors replaced with those of a Honda S2000, PHILIPS Xenon X-TremeVision Gen2 D2S bulbs, Denso ballasts, Morimoto Led fogs, LED tails are all I can remember for external changes. The interior had all lights replaced with LED lights, even dash and cluster bulbs were all desoldered and changed to LED. The Engine is the 5.7 hemi with Inertia Big valve Head which is ported and has proper pressed in valve seats(These engines are very know to drop valve seats and destroy engines), Inertia Spartan Plus Cam, some magnaflo clone exhaust from the mid pipes, 6.1 lifters, 6.1 header and mid pipe. Car is tuned and makes 376 HP to the wheels and 405 TQ. Those numbers are higher than stock SRT8 wheel HP from what I hear. I absolutely love the sound it makes and power is fun. If you see my video, I had the car built to pass California smog when I got it built, They have since made stupid changes which made it illegal to smog.......

[@beardedtexan7699]

Love the car, looks just like mine same colors outside and inside, awd is the only difference. You just helped me find the right mufflers! I really like the rear air diffuser, car looks so good 👍

[@drabent99]

Nice ride bro, I'm about to wrap my 08 soon as I pick a color.

[@hendrixtarantado2114]

Got my first magnum way back . had saved some extra cash to finally get one and it was a 2.7 of course 😄. Shit was slow as hell but i loved that car.. even though it overheat most of the time i drove it. I was riding that thing to the very end before it had blown head gasket. Sad day and back to driving my old reliable camry. Saved up again then later got myself a 05 magnum 5.7 hemi😁. Fun to drive coming from a 2.7 engine. Got it straight piped so u know my neighbor's love me. But later on after so many parts that i replaced and issues that is a pain to even fix like the front end and suspension.. i kinda stopped spending money on it and just bought me a highlander. Saves me money on gas and repairs. Still gonna fix the magnum up one of these days.. but now that gas prices a ridiculously high, its gonna have to wait and stay in my driveway for a while. Dope ride.. gotta love em.👍✌️

Looks great! I'm keeping mine, 2006 R/T midnight blue. Hopefully you joined the LXforums, its a great forum with a lot of history and knowledge. I would be lost without it!

[@adamphynes7342]

Is yours reliable? Had a co-worker tell me they weren’t great. I rented an r/t years ago, when my car was in the shop. Never stopped fantasizing about the car. Wish I’d had the money to buy one then, & now they are hard to find.

[@esqueue]

@@adamphynes7342 look up 2005 - 2007 rt valve seat failures. They are very common. I had my head built so they fixed it better than Dodge did.

Jesus Christ! I hope it’s the best looking in the world, has paint like glass, and runs 8’s in the 1/4 mile and does 220mph top end! It should also have a wicked sound system and the finest seats possible! Wow! $50k? Air suspension-$5k. Blower-$5k. Diff-$4k paint $10k Sound-$5k wheels and tires-$6k, okay okay I’m getting there maybe I was wrong but it had better be badasssss for that much. And should be on KZbin helping you recoup that money.

[@juniorwoods723]

Those color go right ✔️ man

[@andrewhigdon8346]

Bilsteins would be replacement struts, even on the RT. SRT8s had a different steering knuckle which is taller, and different struts too, and basically all of the suspension parts are at least upgraded from RT. Better bushings, heavier duty arms,etc. RTs with the performed handling package also got better suspension parts and bigger rotors, and as far as other parts, the jury is out, but some say better front and rear hub bearings, better calipers, and some of the SRT8 suspension parts, but not the taller front knuckles, AKA spindles. Nice car.

[@Gavina3]

BAD ASS Magnum man! Wondering if you still have it. I have a 07 RT with 230,000 miles on it and it still runs great. Probably will never sell and will upgrade as needed...

[@andrewhigdon8346]

The driveline losses were surprisingly minimal on the LX cars. They made 290+ at the wheels and I think 370 ft/lbs at the wheels. But 400 horsepower with a cold cold air intake and “sparks”? What are sparks? Spark plugs won’t gain you anything more than maybe 5hp, unless comparing to ones that are trash. But no aftermarket spark plug alone will gain any HP. Of you get 5HP it’s most likely for another reason, maybe plug gap, position of the electrode in the chamber after tightening, which is really by luck anyway. And CAIs, well, they’ve been tested, and I think the biggest gains were maybe 20hp and even that was near redline with some LOSES at lower RPMs. They work, but work best before the engine gets hot, so when it’s still cool, you WILL feel a difference. But to REALLY work, they need to be true COLD AIR INTAKES. Meaning no HOT air from the engine compartment. So how do you do that when the only opening is on top, exposed to the engine compartment? HMMMM. Maybe the manufacturers should have thought about that before ripping everyone off. The cone filters do actually make more power that the flat OEM filters though, but sealing out hot air and only allowing air from outside the engine compartment would yield some actual real world gains. But 400 horsepower from a CAI and “sparks”? Dreams are nice. Wake up and they’re gone.
