ok guys, first time to own a dodge. picking up a 1998 dakota r/t club cab with 65k on it. i have a few questions though. It has edelbrock LT headers, ORY, Flowtech muffler. I want to switch out the muffler though, what would you guys recommend? something that's not going to cost a fortune of course Also, what weight oil should i use? I need a new hood ornament as well as someone stole it. where would i pick one up at? anything else you guys want to add will be appreciated!

Flowmaster 40 Standard......sounds great and will not break the bank.

 

ebay usually have a bunch of Dodge emblems on auction

 

10w30 as long as you're never under 0 degrees F

 

which muffler would i get the best airflow out of with a real nice deep tone to it?

 

Take Lil's advice and go with the 40 series Flowmaster.

I'd suggest the Flowmaster 40. It has a real deep and load tone. 10W-30, like mean green said.

2000 Dodge Dakota 5.9 R/T, Amber Fire and Black, Regular Cab, Modifications: Intense Performance Nascar cone intake, Hughes Stage II ported Intake Manifold, Hughes 52mm billet Throttle Body, MSD, Stage II Jet ECU, PPH ceramic coated headers, Cat deleted ooops, Flowmaster 40>L.A.H., Mopar 2800 RPM stall speed converter, Shift Kit, Moroso transmission cooler, 3.92 Sure Grip, Stock R/T 17's with Nitto 555R 315/35/17's on rear. NX Express Nitrous set-up, with jets from 50,75,100,125,and 150 HP. Best 1/8th mile to date is 8.11.

 

thanks guys. so is the 40 series a real good flowing muffler? because ive owned ls1 z28's before....and the flowmaster always sounded good, but was a bad choice muffler because it didn't allow much airflow..

 

I agree with the others flowaster all the way!!!!
