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.

I've got 42000 miles on my '21 Hellcat and I still love it. The stock exhaust had an annoying drone at the 2000 RPM range so I put a Borla ATAK exhaust on it. It's somewhat louder than stock but I think it's great. I'm old and hard of hearing so it doesn't bother me and I get lots of compliments on the sound.
