 Subject: HIitches / dual exhaust

Message:
I was wondering, if I installed the mbrp dual exhaust on my 2002 dodge dakota, with the 4.7 liter. Is there anyway that the hitch would still fit? Also, I live in NJ, and there aren't many if any people I know or trust installing this dual exhaust on my truck. Does any1 know any1 in NJ that I oculd bring my truck to and not have to worry. I live by toms river if that helps. Thanks.

Steve, I just got the dual MBRP setup for my birthday from the rents. DAMN! that's all I gotta say. I have an '01 CC Motorsports Edition Dak, 4.7. Install on the system took maybe an hour hour and a half. If you can make a sandwhich, you can put this system on. It's easy. I welded mine up there, but It does come with clamps, which would make it easier. But the MBRP is a sweet sweet system! Check Premier Automotive for the system. http://www.premier-automotive.net/

I HAVE THE SAME 2001 MOTORSPORTS EDITION TRUCK AND AM ORDERING THE SAME KIT. I AM A MBRP DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO FIT A HIDDEN HITCH ON THE TRUCK BUT THAT THERE WOULD BE SOME MODS NECASSARY. I WILL BE INSTALLING THE CUDA STYLE SYSTEM WITH THE ROLLPAN ALONG WITH A HITCH ON MINE SO IF YOU WANT TO WAIT A LITTLE I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW I MADE OUT. ANHYONE INTERESTED IN A KIT CAN CONTACT ME AT 1-800-244-7669. I HAVE BEEN SELLING MBRP FOR OVER 4 YEARS NOW AND THY ARE GREAT PEOPLE TO WORK WITH.

The MBRP split rear duals will work with a factory hitch and 31" Spare, IF you pay them another $80 to have them make 27" long 2.25" inlet, 2.5" outlet tips instead of the (angled down) 3.5" tip that comes standard. They will tell you it will work, but I learned the expensive way.

WHEN I TALKED TO MBRP I ONLY INQUIRED ABOUT THE CUDA SETUP WHICH I BELIEVE RUNS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY DOWN THE FRAME.

IT is true that the standard MBRP Dual will not allow you to put a hitch on the truck. The rear hangers bolt into the same hole the hitch would use. I had this problem so I took my truck to an exhaust shop and had them bend the tips out on 45s then installed my hitch. I kinda like the looks of it now and it keeps the exhaust off the front of my camper. And yes the MBRP sounds so sweet

The MBRP is by far my fav. sounding exhaust i have ever heard. I tried and tried to make the hitch fit, but its just a no go. Like chris and Zeke said, you'd have to get different tips/tubes. I've wanted to get something done, but havent had the funds or the time. I'm just living with out the hitch, the sound alone is worth it. :)
