What is Dodge active exhaust?

Dodge Active Exhaust
Dodge active exhaust is a feature found in certain Dodge vehicles, such as the Dodge Challenger and Charger, that allows for control over the exhaust noise output. It is also known as a “dual-mode exhaust” or an “active exhaust” system.
The active exhaust system in Dodge vehicles utilizes a pair of electronic valves located towards the rear of the vehicle. These valves are responsible for controlling the output of the exhaust noise. When the engine is idling or in light throttle situations, the valves are closed to keep sound levels at a minimum and reduce the “drone” sound during highway driving. However, when the driver accelerates or puts the pedal to the metal, the valves open up, allowing the exhaust to produce a more aggressive and louder sound.
The active exhaust system is automatic and adjusts the valve position based on driving conditions. There is no manual control to turn it on or off. Some people have reported that the active exhaust system stays fully open when the vehicle is in Track/Drag mode, but this may vary depending on the specific vehicle model and year.
It’s worth noting that there are aftermarket options available for modifying or replacing the active exhaust system. These options include active exhaust delete kits, which can be used to remove or simulate the functionality of the active exhaust valves [[6]].
