Anyone install the Mopar race exhaust and then just put straight pipes on instead of the Borla mufflers that come with the kit? I assume it would be crazy loud, but just wondering how bad (loud) it would actually be. Would it even sound good (mean)? I put the race exhaust on as is, and really it's just not as loud as I was looking for. The mufflers with the it were much larger than stock.

No mufflers at all in an SRT-10 is just oppressive. I bought my car that way (still with stock headers and cats), and it just plain wasn't fun at all on the street. I had to wear earplugs any time I was in the car for more than a couple minutes. It was fine when racing but awful everywhere else.

I put a Corsa exhaust on it now, it is a million times better. The db level at idle and part-throttle is way way down, but it's still plenty loud at heavy throttle.

Keep the mufflers, trust me!

actually here is a clip of one of the members running straight pipes instead of mufflers and stock cats

I think that sounds like a real muscle car--not high pitched and raspy like the corsa

Headers will make the car plenty loud, regardless of the muffler / exhaust pipe set up.

So it seems like I need to try it then. The mufflers with that Mopar race system are pretty darn big and to me just quiet it down too much. Not a nasty enough or deep enough sound. I'm going for it.
