Yep, thats what all the new hemis sound like.

You removed the model badge but left the 4x4? And left the dealer badge?!

Gotchya. I wasnt aware they didnt put a badge on those, broheim.
My express didn’t have a badge either, when I debadged the sides I put the Hemi badge on the tailgate to balance out the 4x4 one.

My 1500 is a wanna-be 2500, at least that was my goal leveling/lifting it, a 2500 is more truck than I need but love how they look.

I removed the dealer badge/decals soon after getting the truck, growing up I would always enjoy the look on the salesman’s face when my dad would ask how much he got paid to advertise for them.
He would make them remove it before finalizing the deal.

Hahahaha. Yea i feel the same way. Peeled the dealer sticker off and removed the trim ring around the license plate the day i brought it home, and peeled off the 4x4 off road decals on the bedsides as well.

I got my truck from a small used car dealership, so the decal was more like a”sticker” and peeled off with out much effort, the badges take more technique and patience.
I ended up going to see my friend who owns a body shop, apparently hot water and a plastic spatula isn’t the best method, he buffed out the scratches in the clear coat.
He didn’t charge any money for the repair but strongly recommended I give him all call before doing any projects that involve my truck’s paint.

Sounds great and way better than my 2026 Ram Warlock with the Hurricane. I miss the sound of my 2023 Ram 1500 with its 5.7 Hemi...

Someone told me that they use different mufflers on different trims. Don't know if that's true, but yours is much louder than mine.

Sounds good, though!

Regards.
