MagnaFlow now sells a $3,359 cat-back exhaust system built specifically for the 2026 Dodge Charger Sixpack, the six-cylinder version of Dodge’s reborn Charger that replaced the HEMI V8 with a twin-turbocharged inline-six. The system carries part number 19699, ships with 100% stainless steel construction, and is engineered around the exact complaint enthusiasts have made loudest since the Sixpack launched: it doesn’t sound like a Charger is supposed to sound.
What Dodge Actually Put Under the Hood
The Sixpack name refers to the Hurricane 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six that now powers the current Charger lineup. According to Dodge’s own specifications page, the Standard-Output version makes up to 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque and is fitted to Charger R/T and Scat Pack models in both two-door and four-door body styles. The High-Output version, reserved for Scat Pack models, uses twin 54mm Garrett GT2054 turbochargers and forged internals to reach 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque. Those are strong numbers on paper. What the engine doesn’t deliver is the deep, mechanical V8 rumble that defined the Charger for two decades, and that omission is exactly what MagnaFlow’s new part is built to address.
The Fix, According to MagnaFlow
MagnaFlow’s product listing for part 19699 prices the SPEQ Series cat-back system at $3,359 and fits it specifically to the 2026 Dodge Charger with the 3.0-liter Sixpack engine. The system uses premium 304 stainless steel tubing bent to a 3-inch diameter, a Tru-X crossover x-pipe, dual straight-through mufflers, and dual 4.5-inch black chrome tips etched with the MagnaFlow logo. MagnaFlow describes the exterior sound as moderate with an interior character it calls “drone-free,” aiming for what the listing describes as a deep, assertive tone that comes alive under throttle rather than a raw, unfiltered exhaust note. The company says the system is dyno-proven and backs the finish with a one-year warranty alongside a limited lifetime construction warranty. Installation is bolt-on and cat-back only, meaning the factory catalytic converters stay in place.
A Straight Six With an Identity Problem
Dodge built the Sixpack Charger to be quicker and more efficient than the V8-powered Chargers it replaced, and the horsepower figures back that up on the high-output trims. What Dodge couldn’t replicate with a smaller, turbocharged engine is the exhaust note that made the previous-generation HEMI V8 Charger instantly recognizable in a parking lot. A $3,359 aftermarket exhaust won’t turn an inline-six into a V8, and MagnaFlow isn’t claiming it will. What it is claiming, backed by its own published specs and pricing, is that a purpose-built system can get a six-cylinder Charger closer to sounding like the muscle car its badge still says it is — at a price that tells you exactly how much demand there is among Charger Sixpack owners for exactly that.
