Hello guys , i have a 16 charger hellcat and ive been wondering is it just me or does it seem like the newer hellcats (2020-2023) whine alot louder then the older ones do , ive noticed the newer ones have more agressive downshifts and you can hear the blower whereas mine is pretty much all exhaust while downshifting , idk if their tuned a little different or what but if theirs been anyone in here whos had both id love to hear your input ,

P.S. i do already have a aftermarket intake on the car ( bwoody )

I agree the hood and the intake may make the newer cars sound a bit louder plus you have the fact the 2019+ STD HC cars just make more power than the 2015-2018 cars.
Here are Dodge’s official SAE engine dyno ratings and you can see the the 2019 cars were intentionally underrated the most.

Why would they under rate that car the most? What’s the benefit of that?

To sell the more expensive cars. My 2022 Redeye was an 11k option over the STD HC.
