The inclusion of a large H-pipe balances exhaust pulses between the dual pipes, which not only improves performance but also reduces unwanted noise and vibration.
The Super 40 Series mufflers are designed with a large casing to produce a deep, throaty sound that complements the classic muscle car character of the Dodge Charger. The straight-back tailpipe design exits neatly beneath the rear bumper, providing a strong visual impact while allowing you to personalize the look with your choice of tips.
