Default New DF member and Dakota RT ????

Hey everybody I'm new here to DF, just wanted to say hi. I also wanted to ask what you think I should do for my first upgrade/s for my 99 dakota rt? Any help comments would be appreciated.

Depends on your engine/trans combo for specifics...

In general for any car, I start with brakes, tires, exhaust and intake before anything else. Shore up the foundation before you get too far into the fun stuff. Safety first then get rid of flow restrictions. After that, build up your drivetrain and suspension to handle the power levels you want to step up to - again for safety first and also before you go breaking anything with too much upgrading.

well it already has brembos, Eagle F1s, and a KN FIPK intake. So what do most people run for exhaust? Does anybody run the exhaust out right after the cab and is there room for this? I really like the way it looks.
