Will my exhaust fit
I HAVE A GIBSON SUPER TRUCK EXHAUST I BOUGHT THAT CAME OFF A DODGE RAM 1500 4.7 ENGINE.
PROBLEM I HAVE IS MY TRUCK IS A DAKOTA QUAD CAB WITH A 4.7 ENGINE.
CAN I GET THIS EXHAUST TO FIT MY DAKOTA AND WHAT PROBLEMS WILL i RUN INTO WHEN TRYING TO INSTALL.... MAYBE A SPACE ISSUE .
THANKS FOR ANY AND ALL INPUT.

i dont know what or if there is a difference from the ram frame to the dakota. if there is you could always just cut off the existing tips and get them welded to the right position.

cut the tips off, and the cut how ever much pipe you need off the back of the muffler, re-weld and your done.

hangers might be the issue i'm sure if you took it to a good shop they could get it to fit, however the dakota frame hangs low so i'm not sure how it will look

Have you ever had a vehicle with side exhaust? It can get VERY annoying at times. Just a thought.
