according to dodgeram.org, the sport has a different exhaust. I did notice back when i had the stock exhaust, the stock sport trucks were louder.

on that converted one did you spray the moldings on the door and bed green to or did you remove them, they look there in that picture but its tough to see.... i got the maroon slt and i want it to be a sport so bad, just dont have the cash atm to spray the whole truck over again.

you can barely see it but I left the molding on the truck. it just goes on the doors and on the cab corner. Thankfully its not the crap like was on my 95 Ram that went from the front wheel well to the bumper pretty much.... I hated the stickey tape when I pulled the molding.... my thumbs still hurt from peeling that crap!
