Dodge's Chambered Exhaust System: A Revolutionary Sound Experience
If anyone was going to pull off creating an exhaust tone for an electric vehicle, it would have been Dodge when they first started talking about their electric charger. The automaker mentioned that they were working on a exhaust tone, and the automotive industry collectively said "huh." However, Dodge engineers kept cooking up the idea, and the result is a chambered exhaust system for an electric vehicle. This system is impressive, reacting in different ways to different driver inputs as it measures pedal position, speed, and torque output, as well as the driving mode in which the car is placed.
The system produces distinct audio tones related to turning the Charger Daytona on and off. At idle, the sound is similar to a V8 engine, while under acceleration and deceleration, the tone changes. When the car is in the "PO shot" mode, which is a 15-second jump with high power output, the sound becomes even more pronounced when a dedicated button is pressed. While other electric vehicles like Hyundai's Ionic 5n make noises that are similar to traditional EVs, Dodge's system seems to be on a different level.
The Chambered Exhaust System is comprised of extreme bandwidth transducers coupled with dual passive radiators loaded into the two fret Sonic Chambers. It's all placed inside a custom enclosure that is powered by its own amplifier and can deliver up to 600 watts of power. Four elastomer isolator bushings support the entire system, showcasing Dodge's commitment to creating an immersive sound experience.
While some may find this setup unnecessary or too much, it's undeniable that the Chambered Exhaust System is fun and entertaining. The system in the Ionic 5n is similar, but not as impressive. This setup being shown off is specifically on the Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack model, which starts at $75,100 and arrives with up to 670 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. Another model, the Charger Daytona RT, starts at $59,190 and produces 96 horsepower and 404 lb-ft of torque.
Both models qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit if leased, and Dodge says that the Frat Sonic chambered exhaust will be fitted on both models. The question remains whether there will be a tone difference between the two models. It's likely that future higher power versions will produce an even crazier sound. The two-door Charger Daytona is expected to enter production sometime this summer, followed by four-door models in the first half of 2025. Gas-powered Chargers will arrive in the second half of 2025.
Overall, Dodge's Chambered Exhaust System is a remarkable achievement that raises the bar for electric vehicles. By creating an immersive sound experience, Dodge has successfully made the V8-like exhaust and engine noises sound like they belong in a racing simulator or video game.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI mean if anyone was going to pull this off it was going to be Dodge right when the automaker first started talking about its electric charger it also mentioned that it was cooking up an exhaust tone as we in the automotive industry collectively said huh Dodge Engineers kept cooking and the result is a chambered exhaust system for an electric vehicle and this is what it sounds like so credit where credit is due that sounds like a V8 engine I'll be at one in a racing Sim or video game but still I think they kind of nailed it it reacts in different ways to different driver inputs as the system measures pedal position speed and torque output and the driving mode in which the car is placed you'll hear different audio tones related to turning the Charger Daytona on and off well it's at idle if you Revit under acceleration and deceleration and then if you're in the PO shot mode which is a 15sec jump and power output when you press a dedicated button while we already have EVS that make noises like Hyundai's ionic 5n for example it sounds like the level of complexity on display here is raised Dodge says you'll actually be able to feel this one Rumble now I'm going to explain how it works in a manner that sounds like I know what I'm talking about but I may as well be talking about turbo and cabul capable of automatically synchronizing Cardinal gramers such an instrument is the turbo encabulator the system is comprised of extreme bandwidth transducers coupled with dual passive radiators loaded into the two fret Sonic Chambers it's all placed inside a custom enclosure that is powered by its own amplifier and can deliver up to 600 watts of power you have four elastomer isolator bushings that support the entire system to sum up Dodge has created a banging sound system that just makes V8 like exhaust and engine noises and I don't hate it it's fun like the system in the I onic 5n I don't think either of those noise generator setups are necessary and I'd probably keep them off most of the time but I do think it's fun and I do think people will certainly enjoy it this setup being shown off is specifically on the Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack model that's the one that starts at $75,100 and arrives packing as much as 670 horsepower and 627 lbet of torque the Charger Daytona RT starts at 61590 and produces 4 96
