The wife's 2022 RT Plus came with factory 3-inch performance (Borla) exhaust. Installed an X-pipe, replaced the mufflers with resonators and 5-inch tips… it just growls old school.

Huh? Factory Borla 3 inch? You mean you bought the car used with the Borla on it, I presume. Then you say you replaced the Borla? mufflers with resonators? None of it makes sense. The factory muffler is the suitcase in the middle of the car and the resonators are at the rear. I'm confused here.

Apologies for the brevity. We ordered the factory package that comes with the “performance exhaust” designed and built by Borla for Dodge. Cat back is S/S 3-inch pipe, suitcase muffler and resonators with 4-inch tips. It’s in fact the same system that comes standard on the 392, Hellcat, etc. Thanks

So you put on the Mopar Performance exhaust then.

Okay, I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you, please reread the previous post carefully... it’s standard equipment, from the factory on all 2022 RT Plus builds, that I modified after delivery. Tip: Go to the Dodge build site and review the specs wherein the “High Performance Exhaust” is clearly delineated in the TNG package. Failing that, there’s likely a thread in the forum addressing the topic. Thanks

I disagree with you. I believe the RT gets 2.25" exhaust as it has in the past, regardless of package, the TNG and SRT get 2.5" exhaust, unless they bumped them up to 3" and I would presume the Hellcat gets a 3" but I haven't seen that written.

Very interested in this thread. I have the 22 RT Plus, with stock exhaust. It’s a little quiet for me. Was on the lot so I didn’t get the option of another exhaust.
Can I put the T&G exhaust, or a 3 inch system in it?
Has anyone gone with a 3inch CAT-BACK on a RT?
Dealership service answers go from hmmm to I guess so🙄.

Any assistance is appreciated 👍🏽

I'm not knowledgeable enough to advise you on a 3 inch system. But what many of us tried first is the suitcase delete, and replaced it with an X or H Pipe (I went with an X-pipe myself). You can try that first to see if it wakes it up enough for you. Its a fairly cheap mod, you can probably get it done for under $100. If that doesn't do it for you, then you can explore more extensive exhaust options. Just my .02

Thank you for responding. I am going to a muffler shop this week, after the dealer completes the recall on my vehicle. I will explore that option then.

Alright guys, take it easy on me, I KNOW this has been covered already quite a few times. However, I'm hoping to find more recent answers/long term reviews, as the ones I've ran across are from older threads. Not only that, but the answers seem to vary quite a bit, which makes it a little hard to decide on which pipe diameter to get. So here's my scenario, I have a '14 R/T with a mid muffler delete. It sounds MUCH better than stock as many of you know, but it still doesn't give that deep old school muscle rumble. I've seen countless videos of R/T's with the 2.5" BB system. However, some of those owners have said that there is some in cabin drone, while others have stated that there is bare any drone. Meanwhile I've seen some with the 2.25" inch system say it's perfect, while other owners with it have said that they wish it were a little louder and they should've went with the 2.5". Now to be honest, the 2.5" sounds beautiful IMO, it's the old muscle sound that I'm looking for. But I'm worried about drone. I hardly ever turn on eco mode, so hopefully that'll keep the MDS from engaging. So I guess my question is should I just go for the 2.5" system, or play it safe with the 2.25". I'm not sure how much my mid muff delete will affect the drone created if I go with the bigger system. Thanks in advance guys.
Use the 2.25 inch one. After all, safety comes first

On the loud side but very clean and deep, almost no drone (a little doesn't bother me). The wife drives it during the day to work and errands and my teenage kids love it. You could add a second set of resonators just behind the h-pipe to remove any left over drone and turn down the volumea bit more. This by far sounds better than any other setup I've heard. If you want a slightly nastier sound and higher pitch setup, use x-pipe and shorter racing bullet mufflers


I listened to every hemi video from "exhaust addicts" on youtube and pieced together my own system.

How to determine pipe diameter should a tailor’s or fabric measuring tape not be available… wrap a string around the pipe, mark the point where the string touches together. Use a ruler or measuring tape to find the length between the tip of the string and the mark you made (circumference), divide the circumference by 3.14159 Cheers
