I don't have a pipe bender , so I had to cut several bends and pieces out of three different setups "Including the original from my truck" to build mine. I couldn't get enough to bend them up and over the rear axle to make them come out the back, so I ran them out the side in front of the rear wheel. I think I like it better this way. $1,200.? That's "redikillis" .. I think I might be able to help.P/M me you're email address, I think I have an Idea...
hope to see you driving it soon..

I laughed at the guy when he told me.

hemidakquad I was thinking the same thing just throw a muffler of the end of the cat and end it out the side in front of my tire. I will PM you my email

I was really thinking that I would just cut out a section on the driver side drop , because its so deep , and just change the angle to the Y pipe junction.

If you can post a video I'll send it email. I didn't figure out interior light yet, but I have a few plugs still I have to get sensors for - ABS , front wheel speed control and a couple other things my truck didn't come with..I rolled over 1000 miles today on a trip to Columbia S.C. with no problems so far ---"I'm Knocking On Wood"----I Love My Truck..

BackwoodsRam- I am in Georgetown, It's on the coast between Charleston and Myrtle Beach S.C. If you move to Charleston- we can definately get together and do a swap, I have learned so much about these things since my Dak swap I'm actually getting pretty good at it..That don't mean I like doing them But with some help it would be a LOT easier. The last two I did was by myself in the yard . "No help"- what's so ever..I wouldn't mind doing another Hemi swap for someone else , But I seriously PRAY this will be the last one I'll ever have to do for myself...
By the way- There's a Totaled 2003 RAM 4 door Hemi down the street from me for $2,000.00 "Complete truck"...It would be the one you need if you could get it some how..I don't have the money or it would be here now..
