the stock exhaust is 2.75 inches. This kit is 3.00 in. So its diameter is bigger on the piping, the mufflers have less fins on the inside (less restrictive), adds power and sounds louder...but other then that, yup its exactly the same. lol
From wikipedia 6.1 Hemi Applications: The Hemi is also available in a 6,059 cc (6.059 L; 369.7 cu in) version.[8] The engine's bore is 4.055 in (103 mm), and many other changes were made to allow it to produce 425 horsepower (317 kW) at 6200 rpm and 420 lb·ft (569 N·m) at 4800 rpm. 2005-2010 Chrysler 300C SRT-8 2005-2008 Dodge Magnum SRT-8 2006-2010 Dodge Charger SRT-8 2006-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 2008-2010 Dodge Challenger SRT-8
Why do people ask if it's a 6.1 or a 6.4 when they CLEARLY say 6.1 in the video? Geez. All the engines a challenger has are 3.6, 5.7, 6.1, and the new 392 6.4. Both 6.1 and 6.4 are the SRT8 models.
I never thought I'd say it, but the aftermarket alternative might be too much of a good thing. The sheer volume of the custom exhaust would probably induce fatigue on a long trip.
Craig Jackson got the first Dodge Challenger. He's the chairman and CEO of the Barrett-Jackson Auction Company. Do a TH-cam search for "Jay Leno and Craig Jackson take delivery of their Challengers," and you'll find a video of them the day they both received their Challengers.
I get compliments all the time about my exhaust. I went with Flowmaster Super 44's with Large Dual Round outlets. A little bit of drone at 2,000 RPM but not too bad. In 6th gear on the highway it is low and rumbly. Under heavy foot it screams
It's weird that it seems like it varies by car. I have a 2009 Dodge Ram 5.7 with Flowmaster and that thing sounds like a monster when you throw down the gas. It's 30x better than the sound the 6.1 left. But some of the new just seem to be muffled.
Not sure. The stock might still be better for long term use. The noise could be fatiguing on a long drive. It's not the same as listening to a 60 second clip.
A follow up with long tube headers AND the Flowmaster cat-back setup would be great. Of course, a dyno pull should ALWAYS be included with any sort of performance enhancement and rather than us just taking your word for it, you should have decibel readings. I didn't find this episode very helpful or useful.
Why would you say that? Automatic transmissions have always had an advantage at the drag strip. There's a reason that most cars built for drag racing have automatic transmissions. Plus, automatic transmissions have become so advanced that sticks are just becoming obsolete...unless you just prefer rowing everywhere you go.
I've spoken with the guys at Chrysler about the auto vs manual. Really at the end of the day the auto is always faster. You just can't shift as fast as the auto by hand. I've driven the auto Challenger srt8, the Jeep srt8 auto, and own a manual Challenger srt8. Either way you look at it the auto always shifts faster. Where the manual really shines is at the track but some disagree and point out that the sport mode in auto is just as good. Personal preference I suppose. Great cars either way tho.
That flowmaster drone sound in the cab would drive me nuts in traffic. Sorry but my rt sounds badass with borla s type exhaust. Louder, clearer, an no annoying drone in the cab. Borla is true tune science!!! Cost more...but you get what you pay for!! Sorry flowmaster..🤣
Just installed this system on my Challenger and it does sound good but when they say in this review that it has polished embosed tips well it doesn't they are cheap looking metral tips and Flowmaster should offer nicer tips to their customers.
Tips look a little strange, they look he end of silencers on guns except in a rectangular format rather than cylindrical. Plus, maybe it's just me, but the end result in the Flowermaster only makes it louder, with a raspy de-rev. I'd rather change the headers and exhaust to just make the natural engine sound more "mean".
usually when they say automatic in racing they usually mean asemi-auto flappy paddle system, you still control the gears, but the clutch is computerized. you will never find a full-auto system on a race track.
could give it a little be more air to breath and more rumble, sound difference better before after showing it had the rumble and sound more powerful PERFECT
You should have taken it to a local Dragstrip and done a "before and after" test! THAT would have been the acid test as to perfomance gain. Screw the noise it makes, SHOW ME E.T. SLIPS ! ! ! Does anybody agree? ? ?
Remember that Wikipedia is edited and information given by everyday peeps like you and I... Also if you go to Dodge's official site, you'll see that they only offer a 3.7 v-6, 5.7 and 6.4 liter v-8's on the Chargers, Challengers, Jeep Srt8 and so-on... Wiki probably just has a typo.
Auto transmissions have been consistently faster for the past 10 or so years now. Hence why a majority of the top fastest laps are done by automatics or tiptronic systems.

Factory exhaust isn't anything to complain about either.
Actually I was impressed with how good the stock exhaust sounded.
I love my Challenger.
Picking one up tomorrow, know how you feel! 😆
the guy driving the car at 1:37 is jay lenos friend he was on overhauled on discovery channel
5.7 = RT
6.1 = SRT8
6.4 = 392
Leno is living the American Dream.
I can't help but think that it sounds the same as my 5.7 hemi with the suitcase muffler removed. $100 mod.
I'm impressed with the factory sound, no cops 😆🇺🇸
There should be a Jay Leno VS. Jerry Stenfield garage battle ..The Porsche's vs. the HEMI's bring it on!!!!
all that Flowmaster system does, is remove the rear Resonators....
which any Challenger V8 owner should be doing.
the stock exhaust is 2.75 inches. This kit is 3.00 in. So its diameter is bigger on the piping, the mufflers have less fins on the inside (less restrictive), adds power and sounds louder...but other then that, yup its exactly the same. lol
They're not going out without a fight, from what I can tell. Most performance cars prefer the manual because of the control you get.
He actually bought a few of them. The 1st one off the line is the black one.

The flowmaster sounds more muffled. The difference didn't sound like "Night and Day".
the flowmaster sound. much better in stick shift!! them this automatic car
before 2012 the srt brand used the 6.1 hemi
Damn, Leno sure knows his cars
Why do people ask if it's a 6.1 or a 6.4 when they CLEARLY say 6.1 in the video? Geez. All the engines a challenger has are 3.6, 5.7, 6.1, and the new 392 6.4. Both 6.1 and 6.4 are the SRT8 models.
THEY NEED TO SOUND LIKE THAT OUT OF THE FACTORY!!
I never thought I'd say it, but the aftermarket alternative might be too much of a good thing.
The sheer volume of the custom exhaust would probably induce fatigue on a long trip.
imo the flowmaster sounds better outside, but the stock exhaust set up sounds better when inside.
I did not know they made Automatic SRT8's.
Wow big difference. ..yea right
flowmaster is a MUST!
Flowmaster exhausts are an aftermarket product but a dealer might be able to arrange to have your car delivered with a different exhaust for a price.
A good question mrqb! So many cars and bikes.

6.1 was produced from 08-10 in the srt8 models in 2011 to present dodge now has the 392 or 6.4 hemi in the srt8 models

the stock exhaust is ridiculously quiet
@keepthapinit I meant they didn't offer a manual transmission in 2008, only auto
@subinct Agreed. I've been running cutouts for a year and half on a 2008 srt-8 charger. I've had enough finally. So has my left ear...
That would be a good car for al bundy
very agressive sound!
He also got the Number 2 production model that came off the line when they started making the Challenger again. It's a black SRT 8
2008 model
It's weird that it seems like it varies by car. I have a 2009 Dodge Ram 5.7 with Flowmaster and that thing sounds like a monster when you throw down the gas. It's 30x better than the sound the 6.1 left. But some of the new just seem to be muffled.
very good technology!
Straight pipe it, keep the cat system, blastin bobs , and muffler delete. Result beast

6.4 are the new SRT8 motors. from 06-12' the used the 6.1. My SRT8 Grand Cherokee has the 6.1 in it also.
It was second of the line, the first set of cars only came in automatic. Now they have a 6 speed manual.
At least they have one at all.
they used to make a 6.1 but no longer do. it was replaced by the 392 (aka 6.4) HEMI.
The sound makes me crazy :P
Badass car I love it Mopar or no car
ya srt8 came with a 6.1L but they recently updated it to a 6.4L with a bit more stroke to get it there
I,m sure by now Jay has around 800 or so hp in that thing.
and it's assembled in Brampton, Ont. Canada..
Why would you say that?

@movietrailertrash You would need to contact Flowmaster and ask if it would fit your R/T. They probably have a model for you.

When did jay grow a mustache?
if he likes them let him be, people are gonna have their own opinions. no matter what.
The burnout at 1:29. The car jumps a bit, and to me it's not a good thing to you rear end. Or am I wrong? And why is that, and can it be stopped?
It's a company promo video John. Sponsored by Flowmaster.
Leno driving a Mercedes E300 based challenger? Someone like him could afford to keep a real, all American challenger from yesteryear of 70/71.
the 6.1 motor was out for a while before the 6.4
Just installed this system on my Challenger and it does sound good but when they say in this review that it has polished embosed tips well it doesn't they are cheap looking metral tips and Flowmaster should offer nicer tips to their customers.
it’s so nice

I can't HEAR the EXHAUST in my SRT8 for the TIRES SQUEALING WHEN I TAKE OFF
Bassani Flowmaster from personal experience in my 300srt8
not bad good sound
@TanaT10 Leno can just get another Challenger with a Borla for special occasions...
Sorry, don't know about exhausts that much, but these are legal right?
Cool to know. Did one of the developers get #1 or was it another exec?
Ive heard the 1970 challenger is faster than the new one its said to be almost a ton over weight.
'
hey jay leno, how come this car do not have 2 amber yellow lights on the rear taillights
@MrHemiRam03 My cousin has a 2010 Silver Challenger SRT-8 and it's an auto...
Cool

you will never find a full-auto system on a race track.
could give it a little be more air to breath and more rumble, sound difference better before after showing it had the rumble and sound more powerful PERFECT
The best exhaust system for the srt8 is the Mopar exhaust ....
Pft.... Flowmasters. Glass Packs and straight pipes are where its at!
Jay Leno's Challenger SRT8 6,059 cc (6.059 L; 369.7 cu in)
The 2010 SRT8 was a 6.1 and the 2012 and 2013 srt8 is a 6.4 or 392
It's not a Sports car it's a Muscle
come on dude this ain't the 60's anymore, auto transmissions is very decent nowadays
425,000 views exactly. 425hp. Illuminati confirmed.
It's at 444k now , another strange number
You should have taken it to a local Dragstrip and done a "before and after" test! THAT would have been the acid test as to perfomance gain. Screw the noise it makes, SHOW ME E.T. SLIPS ! ! ! Does anybody agree? ? ?
I'd stick with the stock one!
Me too good enough for me
Oh I love the challenger
did they remove the resonators
Now would this exhaust system fit on my R/T?
Jay needs to take $1,400.00 out of his piles of stashed cash and call Frank at Zoomers.
The1WhoKnowsTheTruth best exhaust hands down
i agree with ya
Wrong. The 6.4 came out on the 2011 models.
sounds louder than my girl friend.
And she's really loud!!!!
@@mattdavis9331 dear god

@AwesomeiestDudeEvar Lol not with the 5 speed dodge has its slower than the manual
2:25 blew by that mail carrier
For an exhaust note video the sound sucks in this video. On the other hand, it could just be the exhaust.
script read that it's a 6.1
6,1 or 6.4
you give a dealer enough money and they can do almost whatever you ask.
Unfortunately yes.
sounds just like an american muscle car should sound like
