Different exhaust sound

[wvinson]

After getting my '22 Limited night edition last week, I've noticed that the exhaust sounds different than my '19 with the 5.7.
It has a deeper and more throaty growl. Did they change anything on the exhaust system since '19? I'm complaining because I love it -- just wondering.
I did get the 3.92 rear end which may affect the shifts somewhat, but it sounds so much better than the '19.

I have a buddy with a 2020 Bighorn 5.7 and I have a 2019 Rebel 5.7e. Same thing. I noticed his is much more aggressive than mine at idle.

Yes, somewhere in calendar year 2020, the front resonator was removed from production builds. My 2021 was delivered in December 2020 without a front resonator.

Most likely the front resonator removal as mentioned above!

Or you may be a lucky recipient of a G/T exhaust on a non G/T truck. Some dealerships have gotten some in that way and also some G/T owners ended up with non G/T exhaust. Some crazy factory mix-ups have taken place lately.

I added the G/T exhaust to my 2019 Laramie recently.
Does your 2022 limited sound like this on cold start?

Do you have a link to the build/install? Still trying to figure this out myself.

yup as stated above
A. no front resonator ( my 2020 BTS is built like this)
or
B. got lucky and got the GT exhaust by accident

It is a bit lengthy, but a lot of good info here: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/rebel-gt-exhaust-question.37845/

i feel like the GT exhaust is VERY noticeable compared to a simple resonator delete

I appreciate it. I actually went through that thread. Super confusing with all the changes Mopar made to the exhaust system designs.

I'm pretty sure it's the front resonator delete. The GT is pretty drastic.

I have a 21 Laramie 5.7 4x4 Offroad w/ 3.92. Mine arrived with a mid resonator.
