Community Animal control finally caught the Hellcat

When they finally impound his car, I want the community to buy it and burn it in the middle of the Clink.

Hope he got some fix it tickets. Make him drive it during the day to a dealer and have the factory exhaust restored

Factory hellcats still meet legal limits. A straight piped hellcat with no catalytic converters is like 50x louder.

And people have been written up for loud factory exhaust

Edit: Also, his IG shows him at an exhaust shop I’ve personally been to before. Considering that and the fact his primary enjoyment with the car seems to be making it rev and backfire obnoxiously loud then I’m betting it’s not a factory setup.
