So do you get drone with no resos with the stock mufflers? I do a little around 2000 RPM but I use autostick to shift out of the "drone zone" Good idea. But one issue I hate with the AWD Charger is it switches into AWD mode when you shift manually. It seems I can't get it to go in AWD when I want it to, and it does when I don't want it to. Wish it wouldn't try to out-think us humans. |

The dealer called me back today and said that removing the muffler is indeed legal as long as you leave the resonator intact. Has anyone experienced otherwise?

My car is registered in Florida so I don't have to follow Utah saftey and emission standards. However that said the resonator is considered a muffler so yes you can cut the mid mufflers off and leave the reso's but its up to you as to what you do.

I don't know what year you have, but, on my 07 Charger R/T, I removed the middle resonator and kept the rear mufflers. I know, that is the reverse of what most call them, but the guys at Ogden Muffler know their stuff.
Regardless, no drone, great sound and they really talk when you open the throttle.
Unfortunately, I no longer have the car, so you can't hear it
It was inspected several times, no problems.

I've not had any issues with passing smog with my set up. I also know several that have replaced the suitcase muffler and straight piped the resonators and also not had any issues.

Got the mufflers removed this week! (Left the resonator.) Love it! Sounds good starting up, can't hear it at all when just cruising at 45, barely audible on the freeway, no drone at all. Quite a bit more sound when accelerating, but not that much inside the car. Not sure how much attention it attracts outside the car though, I'll have to have a listen with my wife driving sometime.

Glad you like it and there's no drone. That's always a plus!
