    Just bought an '11 RT and looking to do some upgrades. First muscle car in 20 years so looking for advice on how to fix it up. I'd like to get that nice rumble from the Hemi so looking at an exhaust system but need to know the risks in doing it. Also, local shop has Flowmaster, but saw an aFE unit online I was thinking of buying. One better than the other?

    Welcome to ChallengerForum! I can't answer regarding exhaust, as mine is still stock.

    Welcome & I have the FLowmaster with resonator delete. I like the sound it makes. It also depends on how much money you want to spend. As Borla & Corisca exhausts are in the $1000 range.

    Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new car.

    There are a few really good choices and I haven't heard a bad one yet. It all comes down to taste and money, what tone you like and how much you're willing to spend.

    The biggest negative I have heard about is the drone that comes from the "fuel saving" cylinder cut-off. On 6-speed cars this isn't an issue.
