From the legendary 1968 R/T to the modern Hemi-powered sedans, the Dodge Charger demands an aggressive exhaust note. Shop our selection of mufflers, exhaust systems, and catalytic converters designed for every Charger generation.
Charger Exhaust by Generation
Classic Charger (1966-1978) - B-body muscle including the iconic second-generation. 2.5" dual exhaust for proper muscle car sound.
Modern Charger (2006-2023) - LX platform with V6, 5.7L, 6.4L, and Hellcat options. Same drivetrain as Challenger in a 4-door package.
Hemi Exhaust Recommendations
3.6L Pentastar V6 - Performance exhaust adds growl to the V6. True dual conversion makes a big difference.
5.7L Hemi - Deep, lopey idle with aggressive top-end sound. Cat-back or axle-back systems recommended.
6.4L 392 Scat Pack - Stock exhaust is already good, but a quality upgrade opens up the aggressive Hemi growl.
6.2L Hellcat - Maximum power requires maximum flow. 3"+ cat-back for best performance gains.
What's the best exhaust for a Charger R/T daily driver?
For daily driving a Charger R/T (5.7 Hemi), a cat-back system with chambered mufflers provides the best balance of sound and comfort. Look for systems specifically noted as 'deep tone' or 'low drone.' Mid-muffler delete works too but will have more drone. The goal is that deep Hemi rumble without cabin fatigue on your commute.
Can I make my V6 Charger sound better with exhaust?
Yes, the 3.6L Pentastar V6 can sound respectable with the right exhaust. A true dual conversion (most V6 Chargers have single exhaust) with chambered mufflers adds a deeper growl. Avoid straight-through designs which make the V6 sound buzzy. The V6 won't sound like a Hemi, but it can have a sportier character.
Is the Charger exhaust louder than Challenger with the same system?
Exhaust volume is similar between Charger and Challenger with the same systems, but in-cabin experience can differ due to body style. The Charger sedan body may transmit more sound into the cabin at certain frequencies. Both benefit from drone-reducing muffler designs if you spend time on highways.
What exhaust gives the Scat Pack 392 the best sound?
The 6.4L 392 Scat Pack sounds incredible with a mid-muffler delete and quality rear mufflers, or a complete cat-back system. The 392's more aggressive cam profile creates natural crackle and pops. Chambered mufflers like Cherry Bomb Vortex bring out the deep rumble while managing drone for daily driving.
Do police package Charger exhausts fit civilian models?
Police Pursuit Chargers have different exhaust routing and components. Civilian exhaust systems and police package parts are generally not interchangeable. Stick with exhaust systems specifically designed for the civilian Charger model year and drivetrain for proper fitment and performance.
