Exhaust swap

Will do. As long as I get a truck lol. Approaching 7 months and no build date.



The loudmouth resonators are probably the loudest I have ever heard. Had them on a 99 Ram 1500 in high school and was way louder then straight piped on that truck and the tone is very deep. I'll probably give it a try and then flowmaster 10 it if I don't like it.
I couldn’t even have a conversation with my passenger that shit was so loud. Curious to see how it sounds on the TRX.
 
Idle is one sound, but full throttle is where you know if you went to far for your sound tolerance.


This is spot on, on how to at cost, add exhaust sound.

Per Track Hawk owner who took it to far. His recommendations were, in the following order.

1) Taping the exhaust rear vent screens with exhaust pipe wrap, which are designed to reduce exhaust flow to tail pipes and reduce sound. This adds some more sound. Drive it for a while and see how you like it. If you like it, replace piping where exhaust vents are.

2) Muffler delete, adds more sound. I was told this was the perfect setup on Track Hawk for daily driving and sound is options 1 & 2.

3) Headers - pushed it to to far, to the point of being to loud to drive all the time, his family wont ride in the truck. But once you spend $2,500.00? on headers, they probably are not coming off.

Just depends on what you use the truck for and your sound tolerance.

I like the QTP cut outs, you keep your X pipe for drone reduction and it by passes mufflers and rear exhaust venting. At a click of FOB button you have full straight pipe exhaust with X pipe or silent stealth mode factory exhaust. Best of both worlds. You can sneak in and out of house late without waking up everyone in your house and the entire neighbor hood and when on the street, click the button and hand out the ear cracker on demand.

To each his own.
I had a Borla ATAK cat-back exhaust on my TrackHawk. It was perfect. I’m waiting for them to make one for the TRX.
 
Cat backs or muffler deletes *should* be fine and I've never had an issue. Headers I've only done with a tune and that has to void any warranty associated with a lot of items.

For this truck I'll stay with modest upgrades to avoid warranty issues. I wouldn't hesitate to do exhaust modifications such as a cutout or catback. Intake tube, catch can will also be on the list.
I’m not sure how much this compares to the TRX, but I did Dundon headers (with cats), their crack pipe exhaust and intake with no tune and it’s fine on my GT3RS.

When my TRX finally gets here we will see how long the exhaust stays stock. I like it loud!

Likely didn't need the tune since you kept the cats. Cat delete causes CEL which then requires a tune to basically trick the ECU into thinking everything is okay. Intake wouldn't require a tune either since the ECU can add more fuel (up to it's factory limits) to match the air intake.

I bet your GT3RS SCREAMS!
 
This is basically the kit we ordered.

The cost from perf shop was under $500.00, I want to say slightly over $450.00 in parts, then up to 3 hours of labor, as they have not done TRX yet. But its every option you can get. Same set up I have on 2019 Laramie sport, but single cutout version and its loud, I can’t imagine how loud it’s going to with 2 cut outs. Only a full throttle, accelerating video will do it justice and a decibel meter.

The Y pipe allows you to attach the 11300 Adjustable Turndowns, so you can redirect where you want the exhaust to go. You wouldn't think it would make that much difference, but if its pointed to side and rear of truck, it allows exhaust to resonate out at other cars and out the rear more, its louder on both the side and rear, than if you just point it straight down at pavement, like in the red TRX video.

With the video of the red TRX, the cut outs are facing the ground.

QTP sells a 3" Y Pipe that you weld in, so exhaust is not dumping into the pavement, it pushed to the side and the rear. It’s extremely loud. Its like having side pipes and rear exit.

This is the way to go if you want a really loud truck when out on road messing around, handing out ear crackers to the wannabe's. Believe me it gets old pretty quick leaving the exhaust cutouts open all the time. Just hit the switch/FOB and your back to pretty quiet stock exhaust.

I had my set-on Laramie since January 2019 and have not had one issue and I live right on the ocean, where salt air and marine salt sprays up into air from waves crashing into the beach and that salt air corrodes everything, left outside. Its hell house exteriors and car rotors.

Sweet! Can't wait to hear a video.and get your opinion on the TRX

These are Dundon’s high flow cats, but even their catless system doesn’t require a tune. Only reason I went with cats was because the catless can discolor the paint around the exhaust tips apparently.

And yes, it does scream. Can’t help but have a smile plastered on my face driving that thing!

That's awesome! Discoloration of any kind is a no-no lol as long as she screams!!

Same thing with this truck and my F30. Smiles per gallon, baby

Does it still chirp ? With new cats
 
More than chirps. Loud cracks on upshifts, especially once it's hot on track. It sounds incredible.
I think he meant the Hemi tick sound the truck makes.

But sounds like its pretty epic. Can we get some audio?

Granatelli motorsports makes a nice kit for much less....

 
I don't have a lot of good videos of my car, but look up Dundon's instragram or youtube and you can hear what their system sounds like. I found one guy that filmed me at Road America and his video is up on instagram, but the sound quality isn't that great.

Right about the 5:50 mark in this video: https://www.instagram.com/tv/COGFOctlgCS/?utm_medium=copy_link
Ahh ok. I misread above and this was on the GT3RS. I was looking for a TRX lol. Man does that GT3RS have a distinct high pitch sound.
