Durango Exhaust Rear Resonator Delete

[@sneakymanj23]

Thank you!! Watched your video today and got my resonators deleted on my 21 Durango RT today. Haven’t stopped smiling since.

[@LouieAWDTSi]

Awesome man! Glad to hear that🤘🏼

[@thehomer5913]

Very well done. I found another good video on the mid-muffler delete, then saw this. Sold! I had the mod done today. $245 with some blackened stainless tips. Sounds amazing and looks so much better than stock. I prefer the deeper resonance of this mod vs the raspier/angrier sound of the mid-muffler delete. Manually downshifting downhill makes me mute the stereo and puts a smile on my face. It's just a personal preference, but THANKS so much for putting the time into making this.

[@LouieAWDTSi]

I can relate to the down shifting lol tunnels/over passes are my favorite!! I appreciate the kind words!! Thanks for watching!

[@thehomer5913]

@@LouieAWDTSi It's been a few weeks now and I'm even more impressed with this simple mod! I traded 2 cars in on my Durango, including a '03 Vette with CAI and Corsa catback exhaust, which sounded awesome. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but my 3rd Row Seating family SUV with tow package now sounds BETTER than the Vette!

[@LouieAWDTSi]

@@thehomer5913 and corsa makes a very nice exhaust. They certainly are not cheap! Glad you are enjoying in.. couple years later for me and I still enjoy it! Getting 16-17 smiles per gallon!

[@gregorydubowski124]

Thank you for showing this option, I had this done at the Meineke on Rt. 38 Lumberton. I think it sounds better than the muffler delete and so does my wife. I did it for her as a Christmas gift, it puts a smile on her face everytime she hit the gas pedal. Greg D.

[@LouieAWDTSi]

You’re welcome and that’s Awesome!! Glad you guys love it! I’m in the lumberton area pretty often. Small world!!

[@Alwaysbeclosing1774]

Hey I'm thinking about doing the same thing myself. I was gonna order the blastin bobs D250D kit and then pay someone to install it. Whats the difference between a regular resonator delete and blastin bobs kit? Also how much did they charge you for everything?

[@gregorydubowski124]

@@Alwaysbeclosing1774 probably nothing.

[@ZacWade]

4:28 that start is beautiful. Great sound, definitely doing this on mine

[@LouieAWDTSi]

Thanks Zac… No regrets .. AT ALL 👍👍

[@UpsetToastYoutube]

If you're thinking about it, DO IT. These videos don't do 1/10th justice to how GREAT my Dodge Durango RT sounds after the resonator delete. It is aggressive on start, but MAN WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, it is RAW, even slowing down at lights it rumbles and growls. I put it in sport mode and took off, OMG I was grinning ear to ear and acting like a gitty girl. Its incredible, it will even make a loud thunderous slap if you accelerate hard enough and let off. Sounds like a freakin racecar. It feels like I drove off in a different vehicle with an all new exhaust. It is insane, and not obnoxiously loud when idling or cruising. I have zero drone on highway that I've noticed. I left suitcase muffler on, and just had the resonators cut off, piping welded in place and 5inch exhaust tips added on. Cost me $280 total at a hole-in-the-wall muffler shop. Do it do it do it.

[@LouieAWDTSi]

This is epic… and yet so darn accurate!! Well said my friend.

[@SirJorge.]

That’s what I’m going to do! I’m going to delete the resonators and add a 4-5 inch welded tip For my 16 citadel hemi

[@gaboi4eva]

Exactly what I needed to hear...I just got a 2018 rt last week and it's so quiet compared to my 2017 rt challenger. Im not trying to wake up the whole neighborhood so the res. delete seems to be idea especially if there's little to no drone. Now my question is how is the performance? Not really looking for much gain if any at just hoping not to lose any performance.

[@chasehoy4486]

you’re the fuckin goat. gonna do it now

[@s3rwer]

Where is catalyst converter?

[@Holearchik]

Nice man this is exactly what I was thinking of doing and now I'm sold on it. Thanks for the video

Can you share what kind of tips you install

[@LouieAWDTSi]

I truly don’t know the brand bc they supplied them. They are 4 inch angled chrome tips.

[@ClnlSozer]

Great video, what about drone noice after all this time?

[@LouieAWDTSi]

@@ClnlSozer thanks!! And no drone at all unless you are towing up a mountain… that happened once and it still was no big deal. My buddy’s diesel has a drone that literally gives me a headache

[@ClnlSozer]

@LouieAWDTSi thanks for the reply 🙏🏾

[@O1dmanwalker]

Just did this to my 12 durango citadel it's perfect not too loud for my neighbors yet just enough rumble for me while driving $260.00 went with 5in tip

[@LouieAWDTSi]

Awesome!!

[@jesseholmes]

Any drone on the highway??

[@LouieAWDTSi]

Only going up a mountain while towing.. so basically no lol

[@RonArdronChiefRocka]

Nice! That Price is RIGHT! Gonna check your contact Dave to see if he can take care of me for my 2018 Durango RT!

[@LouieAWDTSi]

Thanks for watching! G Luck

[@kevinphathaem9296]

How long are your pipes ? & size ?

[@LouieAWDTSi]

The pipe is the same length of the stock rear resonators. The tips are are 4 inches

[@Pete7072]

I love the way this sounds, but real question, is this obnoxiously loud? I live close to my neighbors, and leave for work at 5:30am at times. I have a fuLL SRT Exhaust to install, and am debating a delete or the SRT exhaust.

[@LouieAWDTSi]

So cold start is pretty loud. I leave for work early..I never back in the driveway Bc I always want the exhaust pipes facing away from my house to let my family sleep lol. My advice would be to install the srt exhaust since you have it. It’s pretty loud from what I have heard but the cold start seems a little more tame compared to rt resonater delete.

[@darrellbinford9756]

I got a 2013 durango crew with single exhaust just did a mid muffler deltete and added a flowmaster 40 series delta flow, but also thinking about removing the resonator if it means no drone increase

[@LouieAWDTSi]

If you like it I would leave it alone but I also feel like the mid muffler delete makes it raspy so if it is.. maybes it’s worth deleting the rear one too

[@darrellbinford9756]

@LouieAWDTSi I added the delta flow 40 series flowmaster in its place though, I've heard of ppl just straight piping or adding the x pipe in its place but nothing like this, ima give it time to break in some and then may decide ro remove the resonator wife says it isn't loud enough lol so may go through with it

[@turbotoys1013]

Wow that’s actually pretty loud. I did the mid muffler delete but it honestly didn’t get too loud. Now I wish I would have deleted the resonators instead

[@LouieAWDTSi]

turbotoys101 yeah colds starts are certainly loud but it honestly isn’t bad on warm starts and just cruising.. im really happy with it for sure lol

[@mikehill8584]

Same thing I did the suitcase mid muffler delete. Not too loud at all. It's the wife's everyday driver. Now she wants the resonators gone too. What should I do? If I do then that's it nothing left. Just all straight pipe. Anyone on here know how that would sound?? THANKS

[@turbotoys1013]

@@mikehill8584 just replace them with any muffler or resonators you’d like. It should sound good with whatever you choose

[@anthonycandelaria-nb7fp]

What size tips ??

[@LouieAWDTSi]

4inch.. I’ve seen people squeeze 5 inch in there lol

[@yellowjacket7134]

What was used to replace the stock suitcases mid muffler ?

[@LouieAWDTSi]

I kept the suitcase. After researching other videos at the time, I felt it was too high pitched/raspy with it removed. Helps keep drone out of the cabin too.

[@stellerj]

no check engine light with just deleting the resonators?

[@LouieAWDTSi]

Nope, they are basically just rear mufflers but they are officially called rear resonators.

[@rayrosa6894]

Can I put back my mid muffler? I took it out but it sounds like a Honda sport when I pick up speed 🤔

[@LouieAWDTSi]

Yeah I’m not a huge fan of mid muffler delete. You have two options. Put it back and it’ll sound better(deeper) more stock Hemi sound. Or, delete the rears like I did in this video (it should sound great but It will be louder then mine in the video).

[@rayrosa6894]

Ok so put the mid muffler back and delete the resonators. Ok im gonna try it. I just want a nice deep sound.

[@rayrosa6894]

Thanks for ur input 👍

[@rayrosa6894]

On more question I have a durango gt will it make a difference?

[@LouieAWDTSi]

@@rayrosa6894 gt v6 or Canada gt v8? The v6 with rear resonators deleted should make it sound deeper then the mid muffler delete. But I’m not sure if it’ll be to your liking 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@groot7327]

Can i just replace rear muffler with something else without welds or cutting mufflers down?

[@SirJorge.]

A question I’m at the shop with my 16 citadel and the mechanic is telling me the rear resonators are the mufflers and the resonator is in the middle of the vehicle I’m getting the rear things deleted and 4 inch tips added

[@LouieAWDTSi]

Yes delete the rear resonators (or mufflers some call them, but in the Durango world.. they are actually listed at rear resonators). Same difference

[@SirJorge.]

@@LouieAWDTSi I had my mufflers deleted and not the resonator and it sounds like crap. Have 4 inch tips. A lot of drone, it’s annoying. Should I delete the resonator and put my mufflers back on or just delete the resonator?

[@LouieAWDTSi]

@@SirJorge. v6 motor or v8?

[@SirJorge.]

@@LouieAWDTSi 5.7L hemi The invoice says a mid muffler delete. Basically they cut the mufflers off and added pipes with a 4 inch tip. I was originally going in for just a resonator delete but they told me it wouldn’t make any difference in sound and cutting the mufflers off would.

[@LouieAWDTSi]

@@SirJorge. take a look at the picture in the first few seconds of my Video and hit pause. I deleted the last 2 pieces and it sounds nice. I kept the “mid muffler” there (the middle suitcase looking piece). Did you do the same as me or did you ditch the mid muffler suitcase piece?

[@djdannybhtx]

Did u do a mid delete as well? Sounds great

is it loud in the cabin for the second row when you drive?

A little bit not no drown so if you are cruising it’s quiet. Only loud at higher rpm’s .. I have a 2 year old now.. and he naps just fine back there

What year is it again?

2014 but the exhaust is pretty much the same for the 3rd generations

[@adampizzo8319]

I heard you mention Marlton, in the video and then I saw you go through the tunnel onto 295 north, so I know you can’t be too far away from me in Cherry Hill. Great job starting it from all of the locations, my favorite being the start-up from inside the house. My birthday is next week and I think I can convince the wife to let me delete the resonators if she can hear it, in person, first. Either way I still would love to hear it before I cut them off. I would imagine you wouldn’t want to post your address or phone number here so we can just put a place and time down to meet that’s local to both of us, if your are willing to let me hear the truck in person. Thanks for considering.

[@LouieAWDTSi]

Sounds awesome, deep tone, doesn’t drone, cheap etc If there’s any moments where I a hint of regret it’s during a 5am start since I respect my neighbors lol but I’ll take my wife’s car if I need to go somewhere that early

[@steelfan187]

@@LouieAWDTSi so it's loud but not too loud? I usually leave work around 6:30 I know my one neighbor won't care cause he's always bumping music

[@LouieAWDTSi]

@@steelfan187 only the cold start is loud and it settles down within 30 seconds. I always make sure I pull fwd when I park in my driveway instead of backing in. This way the back end of the car is pointing away from my neighbor. I leave at 6:30 am as well but sometimes I do side work on the weekends at 5am so I’ll use my wife’s car for the 5am start but 6:30am is Durango. It’s really not bad, I’m just extra courteous and my neighbors house is like 15ft from my driveway. But driving around and all that, it’s not loud unless you get on it.
