Hey y’all!
I just moved to a new area.
2015 Durango R/T. 5.7L AWD.
My R/T exhaust is stock but still too loud for the neighbors.
I need to quiet this sucker down big time.
Any suggestions? Thank you!


Best,

Wow too loud still? Stock is pretty damn quiet. You could add extra resonators somewhere online, about your only option.

What the heck kind of neighborhood do you live in? I could understand the concern if your R/T had active exhaust dumps like the Chargers, but the Durango R/T stock exhaust is not loud. Did you buy it used? If so, possibly the previous owner made some changes, That could explain it.

I have a 15 and the reason I got Corsa exhaust was the stock exhaust being too quiet. Previous owner may have done a mid muffler delete or aftermarket exhaust. Try getting pics of stock exhaust set up and crawl underneath and compare. If it's aftermarket I'm sure you can find a stock RT exhaust system on here. Guys are constantly upgrading. Either way you shouldn't have to change what's on your truck to appease neighbors, it is your car. If you love the sound keep it.
 
Like others have said, it sounds like you don't have the stock setup anymore. If you look underneath, the OEM exhaust will have two pipes going into a "suitcase" muffler in the middle near the rear doors area. From there it goes back to 2 pipes again to the rear resonators on each side, followed by the exhaust tips at the end.

Usually to make it louder, the big "suitcase" muffler will have been removed, and a pair of pipes or something similar will be there instead. Alternatively, the resonators at the rear, which look like mufflers but are not, could have been removed. What you'd be looking for in this case is from the muffler in the middle, follow it back and there wouldn't be anything else but 2 pipes leading to the tips.

Lastly, the previous owner could have installed an aftermarket exhaust, which would most definitely be louder than the stock exhaust system. Take some pictures if you can't figure out your setup, and maybe we can help you figure out what you may have going on under there. There are some options to quiet it down if it's just the muffler missing. For example I have deleted my "suitcase" and now have Dynomax Mini Race Bullet Mufflers in its place. In my case it was way to loud and raspy without some sort of mufflers, but its still louder than a stock setup with these installed.

Again as others have said, the stock OEM exhaust is not loud at all, even flooring it is relatively quiet compared to other V8's out there.

I was thinking what others have already started . If you purchased used there very well be some mod's to the exhaust. The Stock exhaust is not loud at all unless you gun it.
I start my truck up at 6am in the morning and no one in my neighborhood ever complains that it's too loud. If anything it's to quit which I'm gonna change.
Take some pic's of the exhaust system and we will be able to tell if it'stock of not
 
What the?

Quiet it down? I Donno cut ur balls off and go buy a Highlander ? What the heck kinda neighbors do u got ?!

Man they would hate me. Just got my kids some dirt bikes and looking at a kx250 for some moto fun but we always ride through the hood, slowly so nobody has complained yet.

I auto start my r/t all the time just so I can hear beezebub’s chariot idle ;)

Your neighbors suck balls
 
I'm 71, and I say if it's too loud, they, your neighbors, are too old. Some states did have noise laws on the books. Generally anything above 85 db I believe at a distance of 5 feet was the limit.
 
I would tell them to take a heaping spoonful of MYOB and go home !

-- or --

If I was in a pissy mood, I'd delete the suitcase & install dumps - how do ya like me now whiners !!!
