Default Exhaust Comparison

I have heard the Borla and Flowmaster Cat-back exhaust, but can any of you R/T guys provide video/sound clips of the R/T stock exhaust. I'm looking for a deeper, not louder sound and haven't been able to hear the R/T exhaust. The Borla would be perfect, but it is pricy.

Thanks.

@SteveWhite: What portions of the R/T exhaust are different from the Citadel? Is it the entire cat-back or just segments?

I thought they were 'tuned' or is that 'toned' differently.

Really? First I've heard of that one I can't imagine Chrysler going through the added expense of multiple oem exhausts. Anyone have anymore info on this?

I just found a Youtube video and the stock R/T exhaust does indeed sound different than my Citadel.

@coldsteel - I didn't realize there was such a difference in the two exhaust systems... Anyone have any thoughts as to what tweak or tweaks Dodge performed to get such a different sound and not gain any HP?

So it's not just my ears? There really is a noticable difference right?

From what I heard the R/T does have a tuned exhaust. Not sure as to what's different though. Maybe different mufflers or piping?
