I'm thinking about putting exhaust on my 2017 hemi crew cab. Just curious what everyone is running and how it affects the performance. I've always heard that some catback exhaust systems will negatively affect the hemi. Thanks in advance for the help.

Borla bar none. I have it on my 2018 and it is unreal. Deep deep rumble, no drone. Music to my ears when I step on it and I hate all car exhaust.

Probably no change in performance. Design is flow through so there should be some improvement but i can’t tell. The alignment and fit is perfect. I bought the s-type and then added the touring muffler. Touring is slightly quieter. I preferred the s-type but it was too loud for wife and kids.

Any chance you can post a vid of the exhaust? I was looking at getting the borla touring catback myself

Sure I can. I have to figure out how to post but there are many videos on YouTube already. Btw the video will not truly appreciate the sound of the system. It is fantastic. Let me see what I can do.

I have Magnaflow and I love it. But I see ****** has a new Blackheart kit for these trucks, I wager it sounds amazing and anyone with it would love it. And best thing is it would be rare, nobody has one yet, one here anyway.

Thanks for the input, I've always liked the borla sound and they used to be offered through mopar back in the day when the hemi first came out. I dont want anything extremely loud so that sounds like it would be perfect

The best one would be the one you like the sound of the most.

I used Magnaflow on my 6.4L HEMI powered 2014. Loved the sound of it from inside the cab:


Just don't go too big on pipe size. The loss of performance (low end) can be attributed to putting too big of pipe on the truck. Keep it to stock size or at most a 0.25" upsize if you can. 0.50" won't kill it but that's as far as I'd go up with pipe size.

I'm not sure what I even have... It came with it on it... But my God it sounds great. When I go back outside I'll record a start up video... Also take pics see if any of you can figure out what I have lol
