Engine Mods:
- K&N drop in filter
- R/T Magnum intake manifold

daaboots's 2005 Dodge SX

--> Magnum intake. I bought this used off neons.org.

--> Did a mild port/polish. I never did this before, but I think it turned out pretty good.

--> In order for the butterfly valves in the magnum intake to work, you'll need to hook them up using a RPM window switch and a relay. Here is an image of the wiring diagram I used. Because of the way it is connected, I didn�t need a switched +12V source. The down side of this is the fact that the Harlan RPM window switch is always powered on. I�m hoping this won�t cause problems down the line.

--> Instead of cutting into the RPM signal wire, I decided to add a connection right inside the connector. The connector is a bit of a pain to dissemble, but it looks very slick when its all done.

--> And finally, the relay and RPM window switch. I�m very proud of this setup. Everything is hidden in the fuse and relay center. This thing has a spare spot for a relay and fused power supply. All you need to do is add some wires.

Brake Mods:
- Mopar ceramic front pads
- SRT-4 rear disc conversion

--> If you hate the look of your rear drums then I suggest you do this SRT-4 rear disc conversion. All you need is the backing plates, ebrake cables and hardware, calipers, pads, and rotors. Everything will bolt up to your stock knuckles and hubs.

Suspension Mods:
- Stock SRT-4 springs
- Stock SRT-4 24mm front sway bar
- Stock R/T 19mm rear sway bar
- Vibrant front and rear strut tower brace

--> Installed my used SRT4 springs. They were a bit rusty so I sanded them down and painted them red. Not a huge drop, maybe about 1/2 inch. Got them for free though so can't complain.

--> I picked up a used SRT-4 24mm front sway bar and painted it red. Great upgrade for the Neon

--> I bought a used R/T 19mm rear sway bar and painted it red. I made my own custom adapter brackets in order to connect them to the struts. Rear sway bar adapter brackets now on sale!! Click here.

Exhaust Mods:
- Mopar R/T dual tip muffler

--> This muffer was designed for the body kit I bought. Adds a small amount of rummble but not too much.

Old Stuff:

--> Here's my old engine setup using an eBay CAI and 60mm TB.
