btw why would you want to change an SRT8's exhaust? It already sounds great.

hmmm i haven't heard it in real as of now but i don't think its gonna be upto the mark like imagine rolling down on jumeirah and when u try to rev or (speed a lil ) probably will be silenced .the sound matters to me the most btw is this car good ? like is it worth buying and average life span of the car ????

First learn how to drive a Car, GTR as a first car? wow you must be a pro driver.. not everyone can control such a high performance car on their 1st day of driving, takes practice and experience on real roads/track to be able to drive cars like that, not just money. :arrow:

The Jeep SRT8 has a lot of power for a 1st time driver. Also not getting the GTR is a very good idea...I can't imagine what a 18 year old would do to a car like that....most like destroy it...

With that said, definitely buy the SRT8 once you are familiar with driving around in your dads "Lambo", and when ready head over to the SRT8 forums and do a little research on the types of exhaust available on the market. Some are to loud, some have a lot of drone, and some could be to expensive.

Some people also take the cheap roads by removing the cat or the 1st/2nd resonator in the stock exhaust to beef up the sound a bit. But I hope you don't do that on a brand new car...that would be painful!!...

Good luck and congrats on your 18th bday in advance!!
