Factory Hemi Exhaust Changes 2019-2023

[ProKubinator]

Hi All, I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie with the Hemi. My dad just picked up a 2023 Ram 1500 Laramie with the Hemi. We have almost identical trucks, regular Laramie packages (no sport, g/t, etc). His exhaust sounds a little more "open" than mine, sounds really good for stock. I believe I recall at some point reading that Ram removed one set of resonators between 2019 and 2023, but mufflers were the same. Can anyone confirm the exact changes somewhere between our model years that has better knowledge of it?

My dads new truck is definitely not "G/T" package loud, its just a little more open sounding than mine.

Exhaust seems louder on 23 vs 21

Has Ram made any changes to the exhaust system in 22 or 23? My new 2023 Laramie seems slightly louder than my 2021 in a good way. Both Hemi ETorque Laramie trucks. Probably just my perception?

I think around 2020-2021 they stopped putting factory resonators on near the tips.
On 2019s I believe they all has resonators but my 2022 for example didn't (before I sold the OEM exhaust)

The rear resonators are still there. They stopped using the resonator in the pipe between catalytic converter and muffler.

I think in mid-2020, they remove the front resonator, which is located just past the catalytic converter.

There is only 1 muffler, a big drum looking thing to control the MDS drone. About 1 foot past the muffler, it breaks off into a Y (fake dual) pipe into two muffler looking resonators.

The difference you hear is probably the single front resonator removal, which was changed mid-production from most reports.

sounds sweeter.

Was 2020 model year they removed it. My 2020 built in May doesn't have one

I knew it was one of those years

Even the 23 is noticeably louder than the 22 I traded in.

the 23 is etorque
the 23 was not.

Sure that doesn't matter, but just threw it in.

They could have tuned the muffler or the resonators to give it a bit more sound. That or the exhaust supplier ran out of material and it resulted in the use of different/louder resonators and/or muffler.

My 2022 had a growl especially on cold start. Now it has a roar. Deleted the oem muffler and installed a Solo Performance QR300 resonator. First drive I thought.....what have I done!!
Now its a perfect balance of sound between OEM and street performance. My wife calls my truck the black beast when I remote start it.

My build date is 5/20. I have all resonators
