When you’re piloting a 797-horsepower monster, "stock" is a four-letter word. The Dodge Hellcat Redeye and its highly customizable sibling, the Jailbreak, are the pinnacles of American muscle. But even with nearly 800 horses under the hood, the factory exhaust system is a bottleneck waiting to be broken.
To truly unleash the high-output scream of the 6.2L Supercharged HO Hemi, you need a system that breathes as hard as it pulls. We’re talking about maximum flow, 3-inch mandrel-bent tubing, and headers that can handle the heat.
Push the Limits: Why 797 HP Demands More
The Redeye isn't your standard Hellcat. With increased boost pressure and a higher redline, the exhaust volume moving through the heads is massive. A restrictive factory setup creates backpressure that kills power and traps heat: the ultimate enemy of your supercharger.
Upgrading to a high-performance exhaust isn't just about the noise; it’s about efficiency. By reducing restriction, you allow the engine to cycle air faster, leading to quicker throttle response and more consistent power delivery at the top end.
Build the Foundation: ARH Long Tube Headers
If you want the best, you start at the block. American Racing Headers (ARH) are the industry standard for a reason. For Redeye and Jailbreak builds, we exclusively recommend their 2-inch primary long tube headers.

Why ARH Headers?
- Maximum Flow: The 2-inch primaries are specifically designed for high-boost applications. Anything smaller, and you're leaving horsepower on the table.
- American Made: Crafted from T304 stainless steel with superior welds that won't crack under the immense pressure of a Jailbreak launch.
- Merge Collectors: Their scavenge-optimizing merge collectors ensure that exhaust pulses are pulled out of the cylinder with surgical precision.
Pairing these with 3-inch connection pipes is the only way to ensure your exhaust path is unobstructed from the engine to the tips.
Select the Tech: AWE SwitchPath Technology
The biggest challenge with an 800-hp street car? Being able to leave your neighborhood at 6:00 AM without a noise complaint, then waking the dead at the drag strip. This is where AWE SwitchPath technology changes the game.
Unlike "dumb" mufflers, the AWE SwitchPath system utilizes the factory active exhaust valves.
- Valves Closed: The system routes exhaust through a secondary path, keeping the tone deep and civil. It’s a sophisticated rumble that won’t drone you out of the cabin.
- Valves Open: It becomes a straight-through race system. The "SwitchPath" opens up the floodgates, delivering a raw, unadulterated Hemi roar that screams all the way to 6,500 RPM.
For the Jailbreak owner who wants a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" personality, AWE is the undisputed king of tone control.
Shop the Sound: Comparing 3-Inch Systems
Beyond AWE, several heavy hitters offer 3-inch cat-back systems designed to handle the Redeye’s output. Selecting the right one depends on your target "sound profile."
| Brand | Series | Material | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| Borla | ATAK | T304 Stainless | High-pitched, aggressive "crack" |
| MBRP | Race Series | T304 Stainless | Deep, classic muscle growl |
| Corsa | Xtreme | T304 Stainless | High-frequency scream, zero drone |

The MBRP Race Series is a fan favorite for those looking for a rugged, deep tone that matches the Redeye’s aggressive widebody aesthetic. The 3-inch diameter is non-negotiable here; do not settle for 2.5-inch systems if you plan on adding a smaller pulley or running E85.
Style the Jailbreak: Aesthetic Precision
The Jailbreak program is all about customization. Your exhaust tips should be no different. When you’re building a one-of-one machine, the "standard" chrome tips don't always cut it.

Aesthetic Tips for Your Build:
- Carbon Fiber: Perfect for "Blacked Out" or "Carbon Package" Jailbreaks. It adds a technical, modern look.
- Burnt Blue: Ideal for high-contrast builds (like Indigo Blue or Plum Crazy).
- Polished Quad Tips: The classic look for a "Brass Monkey" or "Chrome" accented build.
At DTX Performance, we focus on parts that look as good as they perform. A 3-inch system with oversized tips fills the rear valance of a Widebody Redeye perfectly, giving it the "stuffed" look that factory systems lack.
