Challenger Exhaust Installation in Kansas City
The Dodge Challenger is one of the most iconic muscle cars on the road, and the HEMI exhaust note is a huge part of its identity. Whether you own an R/T with the 5.7L HEMI, a Scat Pack with the 6.4L 392, or a Hellcat with the supercharged 6.2L, the right exhaust system transforms your Challenger from a factory cruiser into a head-turning, ground-shaking machine. American Fusion Wheels is the Kansas City metro's HEMI exhaust specialist — from simple muffler deletes to full long tube header builds.
5.7L R/T Exhaust
The 5.7L HEMI in the Challenger R/T produces 375 horsepower from the factory with a crisp, clean exhaust note. Aftermarket exhaust options for the R/T focus on deepening and amplifying the tone. Cat-back systems from Borla, Corsa, and Flowmaster replace everything from the catalytic converters back for the most dramatic transformation. Mid-muffler deletes are the most popular entry-level modification — they remove the factory mufflers and replace them with straight pipe sections, unleashing the natural HEMI growl at a fraction of the cost of a full cat-back system.
6.4L Scat Pack / 392 Exhaust
The 6.4L HEMI in the Scat Pack and 392 models produces 485 horsepower and has a deeper, more authoritative exhaust note than the 5.7L. Cat-back exhaust systems for the 6.4L deliver a significant volume increase with clean, even power gains. The Borla ATAK is one of the most popular choices for Scat Pack owners. The Corsa Xtreme is ideal for daily drivers who want loud sound under throttle with zero drone at highway speed.
6.2L Hellcat / Redeye / Demon Exhaust
The supercharged 6.2L HEMI in the Hellcat (717 hp), Redeye (797 hp), and Demon (808-840 hp) already sounds incredible from the factory. Exhaust modifications for the supercharged platform focus on reducing backpressure to let the supercharger breathe more freely and amplifying the supercharger whine. Cat-back systems and resonator deletes are the most common modifications.

Why Choose American Fusion Wheels for Challenger Exhaust Installation
Professional service, quality parts, and expert installation — all under one roof in Shawnee, KS.
Cat-Back Exhaust Systems
Full replacement from the catalytic converters back — the most popular exhaust mod for HEMI Challengers. Borla ATAK and S-Type, Corsa Xtreme and Sport, Flowmaster Outlaw and American Thunder, and AWE Touring and Track Edition systems available for 5.7L, 6.4L, and 6.2L HEMI engines.
Mid-Muffler Delete & Resonator Delete
The most popular entry-level exhaust mod for Challengers. A mid-muffler delete removes the factory mufflers and replaces them with straight pipe sections, unleashing the raw HEMI growl. A resonator delete adds additional volume and rasp. Both are affordable, same-day installs that dramatically change the Challenger's exhaust character.
Long Tube Headers
Maximum power gains for HEMI owners. Kooks, American Racing Headers, and Stainless Works long tube headers for 5.7L and 6.4L HEMI engines. Expect 20 to 30 horsepower gains at the wheels when paired with a proper tune. 1-7/8 inch primaries for street use and 2-inch primaries for maximum flow on high-horsepower builds.
Hellcat & Supercharged Exhaust
The 6.2L supercharged Hellcat, Redeye, and Demon engines demand exhaust systems that reduce backpressure and amplify the supercharger whine. Cat-back systems, resonator deletes, and mid-pipe upgrades from Borla, Corsa, and Kooks designed specifically for the supercharged HEMI platform.
5.7L R/T vs 6.4L 392 Exhaust
The 5.7L HEMI in the R/T and the 6.4L HEMI in the Scat Pack and 392 have different exhaust note characteristics. The 5.7L has a higher-pitched, crisper tone while the 6.4L delivers a deeper, more authoritative rumble. We help you choose the right system to match your engine's natural voice and your sound goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about challenger exhaust installation at American Fusion Wheels.
How much does a Challenger exhaust cost?
Challenger exhaust pricing depends on the system type and engine. A mid-muffler delete is the most affordable option at $200 to $500 installed. Cat-back exhaust systems from Borla, Corsa, or Flowmaster run $700 to $2,500 for parts depending on brand and materials. Long tube headers from Kooks or American Racing Headers cost $1,200 to $3,000. Installation labor ranges from $150 for a simple delete to $500+ for headers. We provide exact quotes after discussing your Challenger's engine configuration and your sound and performance goals. Call 913-291-2027.
What is the best exhaust for a Challenger Scat Pack?
The 6.4L HEMI Scat Pack responds extremely well to exhaust modifications. For aggressive, loud sound the Borla ATAK cat-back is one of the most popular options — it delivers a deep, thundering tone with maximum volume at every RPM. For a refined, drone-free daily driver experience the Corsa Xtreme uses Reflective Sound Cancellation to stay quiet at cruising speed while sounding incredible under acceleration. For that classic muscle car rumble the Flowmaster Outlaw delivers raw, unfiltered HEMI sound with no internal baffling. The AWE Touring Edition is another excellent choice for Scat Pack owners who want a balance of volume and refinement.
Will a muffler delete void my Challenger warranty?
A mid-muffler delete is a common modification that does not typically void your Challenger's warranty. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Dodge cannot void your entire warranty because of a muffler modification — they would need to prove the modification directly caused a specific component failure. However, if the dealer can link an exhaust modification to a powertrain issue, that specific repair may not be covered. A cat-back exhaust system is even safer from a warranty perspective since it is a bolt-on replacement of factory components. We always discuss warranty implications with our customers before starting work.
Borla vs Corsa vs Flowmaster — which is best for a Challenger?
Each brand has a distinct character on the HEMI platform. Borla offers ATAK (maximum volume, aggressive), S-Type (sporty, balanced), and Touring (mild, refined) systems — all made from T-304 stainless steel with a million-mile warranty. Corsa uses patented Reflective Sound Cancellation to eliminate highway drone — the Xtreme is aggressive under throttle but virtually silent at cruise, making it ideal for daily drivers. Flowmaster delivers the classic American muscle sound — the Outlaw is their loudest option with a raw, unfiltered tone while American Thunder offers a moderate, traditional HEMI rumble. We carry all three brands and can play sound clips to help you compare.
Do you install long tube headers on Challengers?
Yes. We install long tube headers on Challenger R/T (5.7L) and Scat Pack/392 (6.4L) models from Kooks, American Racing Headers, and Stainless Works. Headers are one of the highest-impact bolt-on modifications for the HEMI — expect 20 to 30 horsepower gains when paired with a proper tune. We offer both catted and off-road mid-pipe connections. Header installation typically takes 5 to 7 hours on the Challenger platform. Call 913-291-2027 to schedule.
How long does a Challenger exhaust install take?
Installation time depends on the type of system. A mid-muffler delete is the fastest at 45 minutes to 1 hour. A cat-back exhaust system takes 2 to 4 hours. A resonator delete takes about 1 hour. Long tube header installation is the most labor-intensive at 5 to 7 hours due to the clearance required on the HEMI platform. Most Challenger owners drive away the same day regardless of the modification. We schedule all exhaust work accurately so you know exactly when your vehicle will be ready.
Does the Challenger exhaust also fit the Charger?
The Dodge Challenger and Charger share the same LC/LD platform and the same HEMI engine options, but they have different exhaust routing due to the Challenger's coupe body and the Charger's sedan body. Some exhaust brands offer systems that fit both platforms while others have Challenger-specific and Charger-specific applications. We stock exhaust systems for both models and will ensure you get the correct fitment for your vehicle. Visit our Charger customization page for Charger-specific options.
Do you offer financing for Challenger exhaust work?
Yes. We offer financing through multiple providers for all exhaust work, including muffler deletes, cat-back systems, headers, and full exhaust builds. Whether you are doing a simple delete or a complete long tube header and cat-back setup, you can break the cost into affordable monthly payments. Multiple providers including no-credit-check options. Ask about financing when you call or visit. 913-291-2027.

Open in Google Maps →"Had a Borla ATAK put on my Scat Pack Challenger. The 6.4 sounds absolutely insane now — deep, loud, and aggressive at wide-open throttle but surprisingly manageable at cruise. The guys knew the HEMI platform well and had it done in about 3 hours. Already scheduled to come back for long tube headers.
