.Sounds great. Any drone with that setup?

 

zero drone. It is louder at initial start up then quiets down at idle to near stock. When driving the exhaust is louder than stock but not obnoxious. While cruising on the highway or around town it is near stock quiet on the inside with zero drone. Once you put your foot into it it sounds like a Hemi muscle car and you can hear it for sure.

 

sounds good!

 

Thank you.

Ill try and get a clearer video/better audio here shortly. It sounds better than the muffled video. Didn't realize it was muffled until I heard it on here.

Here is another quick video

 

Sounds good, I did the opposite and removed the resonators and left the mid muffler, you can tell the mid isn't doing a whole lot of muffling, resonator deletes are way louder than that.

 

Did you replace the suitcase with an X pipe? That's what I was considering

 

I did not Rango. I originally bought a dual in/out flowmaster super 10. The shop called and said clearance would be an issue and they could put in on however it would hang low and inches from the gorund. I asked about an x pipe and they where out of stock so I told them to just straight pipe it figuring worst case scenario is I can add mufflers/x pipe.

 

Gotcha, thanks. As soon as I find part numbers, I'll get an X pipe ordered.

 

Sounds good. I was thinking of deleting the resonators but may do this instead.

I cannot confirm, but I have read several times that removing the resonators will cause drone, especially if using the eco mode.

If anyone gets this mod done with the x pipe please post some vids as I would like to hear the sound comparison.

 

I'm thinking about doing this to. So you removed the mid muffler (suitcase) correct? And have straight pipes leading to the resonators tips? Will an x pipe give more of an aggressive tone.

 

Is there a X-pipe kit available or does it have to be a custom install at an exhaust shop?

 

Also, is there a power increase with the mid-muffler delete?

 

I would assume custom or you can buy an x pipe and weld it on.

 

I just had this mod performed today at a local exhaust shop. I am happy to report there is no discernable additional drone in the interior and the Durango sounds a bit more throaty at idle outside the vehicle. It also sounds more aggressive on acceleration.

Here is a pic of the install (sorry, for some reason this site rotates the picture 180 degrees):

 

Here's audio of what it now sounds like:

sounds good

 

Anybody else that's had this done confirm that there's no additional drone? I want to do this but the thought of drone terrifies me, I had a Borla catback on my Charger and told myself I'd never put myself thru that again.

 

No drone, but when at wot at high rpm to me it sounded like garbage. I was embarrassed to ever floor it. I now have the corsa and it's amazing.

Was your setup a muffler delete with straight pipe or did you add an x pipe? I'm thinking of doing this with an x pipe but adding two small canister mufflers (Borla stingers or Magnaflow magnapacks) to smoothen out the sound a bit while keeping stock resonators.

 

Fastcb sounds great. I didnt x pipe mine bit im starting to think maybe i should....yours has a "smoothness" i like.

 

Just ordered a pair of Dynomax 24250 mini race bullet mufflers. Replacing the stock muffler with these along with keeping the stock resonators is a popular mod among the Hemi Charger/Challenger guys. Supposedly it has the same benefit of the suitcase delete in that it's louder without introducing any drone, but it smooths the sound and removes the rasp quite a bit. Hopefully I'll have these installed next week.

 

Curious to see how that sounds, I've been thinking of doing a mid muffler delete with an X and maybe 2 small resonators, only problem is my rear resonators are already gone. The cruising RPMs are so low with the 8 speed trans that I'm not too worried about drone.

 

mlgreen keep us posted with a vid

 

Bumping this: does anyone have any updates or interior videos of these muffler deletes with or w/o the x-pipe/straight pipes?

 

I love the sound of my D with the mid-muffler delete and there is NO DRONE at all. The exhaust note coupled with the CAI sound is perfect IMO.

 

Thanks fastcb! Very interested in the x-pipe options with some other mods to resonators. Anyway you can post a quick vid again? That Dropbox link isn't showing anything.
