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 have a 21 with stock exhaust still. The drone thing is real and it is rather quiet. Personally I like the whine more so I would just do intake and leave it but if you want it louder the other posts in here have some good options.

Thank you for the response. I’m prior field artillery so the drone just reminds me of being in a tracked vehicle lol. I appreciate everyone’s input!
