What is Dodge Charger active exhaust?

About Dodge Charger Active Exhaust
The active exhaust system in Dodge Charger and Challenger vehicles is a dual-mode exhaust system that employs electronic valves to control the output of the exhaust noise. These valves are closed to keep sound levels at a minimum when the engine is idling or in light throttle situations, minimizing the “drone” sound during highway driving. However, when the accelerator is engaged, the valves open up, allowing the exhaust to produce a more robust and aggressive sound.
The system is designed to enhance the driving experience by providing a quieter operation during normal driving conditions and a more exhilarating exhaust note when the vehicle is driven more aggressively. Additionally, aftermarket products such as the Active Exhaust Simulator and Delete kits are available for these vehicles, offering alternatives to the stock active exhaust system .
The active exhaust system is a notable feature in Dodge Charger and Challenger vehicles, contributing to the overall driving experience and sound profile of the vehicles.
