I assume that one could replace the exhaust on an 2018-2020 R/T with the exhaust from the 2021 Tow N Go R/T. Anyone looked into this yet?

I didn't see another thread on the issue.
 
Anything is possible with enough time and money...

Is there a benefit to it?

Looks and sound of the 2021 R/T Tow N Go. My exhaust is still stock. At some point I'm planning to replace or modify it to make it louder. So why not look at the tow n go exhaust as a possible option.

My guess is that the parts will be available at some point. The questions are what will they cost and can they be retrofitted?

I've not seen it but my 15 R/T factory exhaust was noticeably louder than other hemi models, so possible sound difference between years. Parts should bolt up with no problems as the body stayed the same. Price wise, I would only go for it if someone was selling it for super cheap after an upgrade, otherwise might as we get the aftermarket and get the looks, sound AND better performance for the kind of money you'll pay for new parts at the dealer.

R/T exhausts have always been more aggressive than other model Durangos with the Hemi. That's part of being an R/T. My 2013 R/T exhaust was actually more aggressive than my 2019 R/T exhaust.

The real question to me is how much of the 2021 Tow N Go exhaust is different from the standard R/T exhaust? And then what will those parts cost? An after market exhaust may be cheaper. And I imagine replacing the suitcase with an x-pipe (and possibly some small mufflers) is likely even cheaper still. But is the sound going to be what you want.

Tow N Go exhaust is a big difference in sound.

You mean in the way it sounds or the parts? I know it sounds more aggressive. I've seen multiple videos showing how the performance exhaust sounds, including your video.
 
I don’t think you can buy the tow n go exhaust. I wonder if its the same or similar to the Mopar performance exhaust. That’s my question. But Mpe isn’t cheap it’s almost as much as the corsa 1500-1700$.

I imagine someone will figure out how to put the parts together, assuming it's cost effective and it can be retrofitted. There is a Dodge dealer in my state who sells lots of Dodge/Mopar parts online and they put together things like this for Dodge owners. For example, they sell the complete SRT Brembo brake kit for retrofitting on other model Durangos, so you don't have to source all the parts yourself. I called them yesterday about the Tow N Go exhaust and they said they would look into what parts are needed and if it could be retrofitted. The other issue is when the parts might be available from Dodge since this Tow N Go package is brand new.

Interesting and makes sense. I just don’t know if I can wait lol. Please keep us posted and I’ll report back on my sons rt this weekend with my pieces together exhaust lol. I hope it’s not an epic fail here

It won't be and I can't even find OEM cat back exhaust available for sale at Mopar sites. I bet they are going to just be able to sell the Mopar cat back exhaust.
Heck the front OEM down pipes are over $1K for each side!
IMO, the best option for the Tow-n-go exhaust will be take offs or junkyards....but let's see what your guy comes up with.
 
Looks and sound of the 2021 R/T Tow N Go. My exhaust is still stock. At some point I'm planning to replace or modify it to make it louder. So why not look at the tow n go exhaust as a possible option.
The real question is why make it louder? I personally prefer a quieter ride, but I am also not doing anything with my Rango besides making trips to the hardware store and picking up the kids from school.
 
Personally I found my 2019 R/T too quiet when stock - I enjoy the sound of a nice V8 engine, within reason anyways. Then again my last vehicles with V8's were both Challengers, an R/T then a Scat Pack with the active exhaust.

Reasonably quiet during cruise, loud under throttle & no drone (MDS off) is what I wanted. A Blastin Bob's Magnaflow glasspack resonator replacement worked for me, for the money was hard to beat. Just wasn't willing to throw a ton of money at it for a full exhaust replacement, this was $350 shipped. It's quieter than my Scat Pack was for what it's worth, especially on a cold start. I'm sure my neighbors hated that one!
 
I know that while I like it pretty quiet in the cabin when cruising...mostly so I can better hear my tunes, I also like to hear my V8 rumble if I punch it...but not to where it annoys my neighbors or police.
I wonder if because newer vehicles are quieter inside that owners are having to install much louder exhaust systems so they hear it? Because some of the exhausts I've heard on Jeeps, Pickups and even a couple Durangos are boarder line obnoxious and frankly sounded like crap. I don't think the owners were aware how bad they sound outside.
 
Now you guys are scaring me lol... I hope my plan here doesn’t become obnoxious or “too” loud .... the fun begins .

I agree with most of you I really want it to sound like my scat pack did... or like the tow n go lol... without having to spend 1500-1700 on Mopar exhaust or corsa .. although both sound great
