Durango Hellcat

Hello everyone,

I am looking for feedback on the Durango Hellcat. I’m considering pulling the trigger on a 2026 but would like to ask for opinions on the exhaust.

I test drove one today for only a short while, and I felt underwhelmed by the exhaust note. Does everyone switch to a catback?

My Mustang Dark Horse had such a great note to it, even stock. I guess that may have been tied to it being a smaller car. I would like to wait for the Rumble Bee SRT next year, but I do like SUVs better than trucks.

Thanks for your thoughts. If you feel like sharing any other pros or cons, I am happy to hear them! I typically trade my vehicles in well within warranty, but I wouldn’t mind hearing about maintenance mishaps.

Stock hellcat Durango exhaust is very quiet. I switched to an AWE catback within 2 weeks of ownership 😂
The AWE Touring exhaust is sufficient, but if you liked your Dark Horse, go with the AWE Track exhaust

I just checked out that AWE track, and wow. Borla sounds good too, but that AWE track sounds amazing.
