Default Shopping Help For Muffler Set



Hello all,

Looks like before I fix the other issues, another one comes for my poor old Dakota. It looks like I'm going to need all three tail pipe, muffler, and the straight pipe. I'm afraid to waste time/$ ordering incorrect parts.

I've been shopping Rockauto but choices shows variation of differences of 4WD only(same as 4x4??) or size differences.

Truck: 2000 Dodge Dakota 4x4 Club Cab

Please advise,

Go to your local muffler shop and have a whole new assembly made up, starting at the Y pipe.

I was hoping to replace it myself. Just wanted to know proper parts. But that's a good idea too

Took some time, but finally completed it. All parts from Advance Auto, walker brand. Pretty budget friendly considering it's DIY with loaner tools.

Took the time to spray high heat anti rust paint on them. Test drive it on currently for leaks and such.

Thanks for all the help.
