Which Dodge Charger Axle-Back Exhaust Fits Your Sound Profile?

Every muscle car owner shares one thing in common: we love modifying our vehicle. It’s one of the greatest joys about owning a muscle car. Whether you have a retro classic or something fresh off the lot, muscle cars are built to be modified, be it the style, the performance, or the sound. For Dodge Charger owners, upgrading the exhaust system is one of the most popular modifications to make. No matter what year you own, the Charger exhaust system is going to sound fantastic, but there’s always room for improvement.

Not all exhaust systems are created equal, though. One of the coolest things about installing an aftermarket exhaust system is that you can pick the model that’s perfect for your tastes. We stock a wide inventory of Charger axle-back exhaust systems, so you’ll be able to find the option that gives you the sound you’re craving every time you fire up your engine and put the pedal to the metal.

The Difference Between Cat-Back and Axle-Back

Before deciding which axle-back exhaust system to install in your Charger, it’s important to know what differentiates an axle-back from a cat-back exhaust. To put it in simple terms, a cat-back exhaust encompasses the entire exhaust system from the catalytic converter all the way to the exhaust tips. An axle-back system is less comprehensive, as you’ll only be replacing the parts from the rear axle back. That usually means just the muffler and exhaust tips, though it sometimes includes some piping as well. While a cat-back exhaust system will boost your muscle car’s performance by adding more horsepower and torque, and improving response, an axle-back exhaust is mostly about sound and style with less performance benefit, and they offer more customizability than a cat-back does. Because of that, an axle-back exhaust system is perfect for anyone whose biggest priority is sound, or for any driver who has already replaced their catalytic converter and piping.

Finding the Right Axle-Back for Your Sound Profile

Picking the right sound style for your muscle car is completely a matter of personal preference. Different drivers prefer different sounds, and it often depends on what trim of Charger you have, and what you use it for. So, when it comes to picking the right axle-back for your muscle car, only you can know what you’re looking for, and what sounds best. Here are a few of our favorite Charger axle-back exhaust systems to get you started.
