Sport models have the factory dual exhaust, so he would need the single in/dual out. The one you listed is correct for the trucks with the factory single exhaust though.

I just got my Magnaflow 14" put on yesterday. It is just right for me. No drone unless I hit about 80 mph. Not too loud that it wakes up my neighbors or anything like that, but you can definitely tell there is something there. I also got really good throttle response out of mine, I had Flowmaster Super 40's on it before and it robbed me of airflow so I made the switch. Definitely do not regret that decision!

Now just need a tuner and Throttle body.

Right, I misread and didn't see that he said sport

Same here, when I was deciding which one to get people were talking about the 14" like it would make my truck sound like a Funny Car. I was surprised at how quiet it is, it sounds great when you get on it, but it's very quiet just cruising around. Keep mind, my daily driver for four years was a lowered '67 C10 with a 454 my dad and I built w/3" 40 series Flowmasters.

Jesus, you could have freaking bought a brand new car with the gas you spent each year.

Lol, it wasn't too bad, plus it was the late 90's early 00's when gas was a lot cheaper and I didn't have a mortgage. Still have the truck at my Dad's house. Plan on doing a frame off restore in the future. Still runs and drives great, just not inspected. Planning on pulling the 454 out and doing a turbo LSX motor.

My first car was a 73' Charger and I was a sophomore in H.S., gas price was around $1 per gallon but even using my lunch money I couldn't afford it :suicide:

edit: bought the car 02' if I remember correctly.

Listen to this one with the 24", it's what made my mind up that I wanted a 24" over the other two. Like I stated above, I have my G8 for loud and fast. I just want to hear a bit of V8 without being THAT guy. lol I will say, I installed a 14 on a members truck with him and IMO it's not that loud and I HATE loud exhaust.

CHEWY, I'm thinking you're right, 24 sounds awesome compared to stock, but will still be a reduction in obstruction and not so obnoxious the little old church ladies will be calling the cops. :cheers:

Yeah, I miss the days when the gallon meter would go up faster than the dollar meter. Love those old Chargers! I always had bowties, 67 pickup, 70 Nova, 88 Camaro. Only one we still have is the 67, my great grandfather bought it brand new in 1967, and it's been in the family since. My Dad and I hot rodded it a bit though. It started life as a straight six with a three on the tree.

I had big plans since the movie Fast & Furiou had just came out but watching that charger get up on 2 wheels gave me insight and hope!!!

Had the muffler installed today and I guess the rear piping was 2.25" in the back not 2.5" on the 2013 sports
