 Subject: Will a 98RT exhaust fit in a 00 Sport CC
IP: Logged
Message:
my friend has a 98 RT and he is going to buy a new exhaust soon. I told him i would buy his stock RT muffler for 20 bucks and he agreed. i have a 2000 CC V6 and i was wondering if it would actually make a difference in sound and performance if i swapped my stock muffler for a 98 RT muffler? also should i ask him for just the muffler or for the muffler and his pipes or should i use my stock pipes. will there be any problems in making the swap fit? im hoping it will fit perfectly cuz you cant find a better deal for 20 bucks!

Yes the R/T cat-back will fit your truck. The R/T has 2 hangers on the tail pipe and the other Dakota models only have 1 hanger.
I'm running a 3" Mopar Cat-Back on my truck which was designed for an R/T, I cut off the extra hanger. It's not really needed, you can probably do the same.
Later,

will this be a bolt on project or will welding be required?

The system could be bolted or welded up. I suggest you get new clamps if the old ones are in bad shape, there cheap. Other than that it should be very easy to put on.

Take a good look at it - I doubt it will bolt right up. I looked at a 98 club cab exhaust trying to figure if I can cut down a club cab cat back exhaust to fit my 2000 regular cab and there were substantial differences. I'm still looking for 2000 club cab to check - I need to know if the pipe between the cat and the muffler is straight for about the first foot and a half. I think if you check this area you will see some differences between the '98 and 2000.

Good luck to your friend if he can get it off without cutting it off. I changed my muffler to a DynoMax at 700 miles and had to cut my factory one off, the clamps had crimped the tubing so tight it was impossible to pull off. Wasted 4 hr. trying to save it :(

I would say if your friend gets it off ok (and your only talking $20) I would take it and look the situation over with muffler & tailpipe in hand (or laying next to truck) if he has a RC R/T and you have a CC you are already short by about 12-16" I would guess. if you are in this range you can get a piece of 2.5 in & 2.5 out at AutoZone
SOUND: you will probably get a mild rumble out of the V6
PERFORMANCE: unless you have modified your intake "K&N,Airaid or other" you won't notice much maybe a little throttle response.
Also if you really want to wake your V6 up get you a V8 TB along with a good intake :) :)
