Exhaust - Magnaflow vs AWE vs MRT vs Others

[Mikey Swift]

Not old...just seasoned! And I hear ya (no pun intended) sometimes it is just nice to cruise in the calm and quiet...

Not for nothing, but this is why I like the Raptor's ability to adjust the noise level up or down. Loud when we are banging around town, quiet on long roadtrips and cruises. It's amazing on the Braptor, this and the Recaros are the two things I wish the RHO had.

My killer may be different than yours but to me it sounds more like a truck than a ricer.

Sorry, I was actually serious. I haven’t heard another exhaust that has made me want to make a change, but those I’ve seen who went with this Flowmaster option seem to be very pleased. I haven’t heard any clips or much description of the sound, though.

Deeper than stock?
Louder than stock?
Drone?
Does it still fart between shifts?

After looking at and listening (very difficult with sound recordings) I went with the mrt extreme which was an easy install and great price plus well built . Big improvement but had some drone and harsh at certain rpm’s. I had the same deal with the borla on my 20 ram which I cured with tip modification. A lot of work but thought I’d give it a try on the rho. Flowmaster quad tips that probably create some backflow as they neck down the size before increasing at the tip. It is still aggressive at start up but much more passive everywhere else. This is just one of the many mods done that have made this one of my favorite trucks ever!

Very nice! I’m definitely putting this option in my back pocket as I do have a slightly annoying low 2K rpm drone on my MRT Trail Rated.

It looks like you replaced the lower portion of the bumper so the dual tips would fit. Custom fab?

Just trimmed the inside of the original plastic skirt.

Came across this different setup from Amazon that actually sounds pretty decent no rasp. Thoughts on this?

Getting the MRT Trail Rated installed tomorrow. Is the 2k rpm drone really bad?

I wonder what resonators were used exact setup. is he a member here? also im guessing the mic was mounted out back by tip/exit. Sounds rowdy haha

No, I don’t think it’s bad. To my ears it seems better since I removed the ANC harness.

Hope the install goes well.

It’s only annoying to me between 2,000 and 2,200 rpms when under slight acceleration. More like a resonance. No issues at highway speeds to my ears.

I heard a video on Facebook of this truck, it sounded fucking awful...total garbage. Here is a different video of it.

Just has a different name attached to it, that's all.

Most of them sound like a really angry weed whacker. It’s an inline TT 6. I miss my TRX for the sound for sure.

I’ve been without a Hell Kitty in my garage for exactly 11 days. There is now a storm in there and I can confidently say, it sounds awful. Worse than the Gen2 Raptor I had. Nothing sounded like the TRX on a cold morning with SLP’s. Shit woke your soul not just your neighbors.

MagnaFlow's website is only showing their Speq model for the 2025 RHO and it says it won't fit the 2026 model. Anyone have any intel on that?

Speq will fit a 2026 MY, just don't understand why so many connections.
Makes it bit challenging centering the tail pipes.

I installed AWE catback system over the weekend. Easier to install vs. removing the OEM system. I like the sound and it doesn’t drone at highway speeds.

I had AWE on my Hellcat too, quality material and good sound.

That last sentence is exactly why I am struggling with signing for my RHO if it ever arrives. The TRX definitely brings a smile to my face at start-up!

I don’t blame you, I miss the TRX dearly. Just didn’t make sense to hold on to it since mine was a 21, out of warranty and values started to drop after the 2027 announcement.

Just got Flowmaster FX installed today because @Mikey Swift said so. Sounds killer over stock no sound clips because I fail. Also, @Vara1898 your exhaust sounded awesome today when you took off from the light AWE if i remember?

This guy @Mikey Swift should be getting royalties for this mod at this point!

@Mikey Swift should be collecting royalties at this point for this mod, cheap and does the same thing any other company can provide and may sound better?
