Hey Guys and (apparently) some gals!

Just picked up my 2008 Dodge Ram 1500.

She is a QC 4X4, with the Hemi 5speed drivetrain.

So far she has been great to me, the gas mileage is alittle worse than I am used to (coming from a 2k2 Neon R/T) but its sure sounds great.

On that topic, I was looking at taking out the muffler and adding in an aftermarket muffler, but Its minus 25 degrees celcius here with 24"+ of snow on the ground, so I am having a hard time getting under the truck. I need to know the Outside diameter of the pipe going in and out of the muffler as well as the overall length of it, including the flanges on the end.

If anyone could help me, I'd really apprecite it.

The FAQ and a search revealed alot of nice clips and info, but no exact specs for it. [:@]

Guess I should post pics for you too huh?

You can get a 1500 Hemi with a 5 speed in Canada?

I'm sure he means the 5 speed auto...i think the manual is a 6 speed anyway.

Oh and welcome to the site!! I can sure see how going from a neon to a QC 4x4 is a change in mpg...but it's worth it because your truck can be used for much more then transportation.

Welcome to the group! You mean it uses more gas than the Neon? Who'da thunk it?
