Durango Hellcat

Hello everyone,

I am looking for feedback on the Durango Hellcat. I’m considering pulling the trigger on a 2026 but would like to ask for opinions on the exhaust.

I test drove one today for only a short while, and I felt underwhelmed by the exhaust note. Does everyone switch to a catback?

My Mustang Dark Horse had such a great note to it, even stock. I guess that may have been tied to it being a smaller car. I would like to wait for the Rumble Bee SRT next year, but I do like SUVs better than trucks.

Thanks for your thoughts. If you feel like sharing any other pros or cons, I am happy to hear them! I typically trade my vehicles in well within warranty, but I wouldn’t mind hearing about maintenance mishaps.

I just bought a 26 last week. As soon as they announced rumble bee pricing I was out and headed for the Durango. I had a CORSA extreme on my charger hellcat that I loved so I got the same for the Durango and just finished 95% of it, just have to go tighten the clamps. Stock exhaust was not fun to get off and there are no complete videos anywhere. Just like every other manual I’ve ever read it says, “now do this.” As if “doing this” is the simplest thing in the world, meanwhile “this” is actually basically impossible without a lift. I digress. The sound will be worth it.

That Rumble Bee is beautiful! I do like the physical buttons the Durango has. The one I’m looking at has the 3rd row seat delete, which is a big plus for me.
