Default Want to Change my SLT Bumper/Exhuast to Laramie

Hey I have a SLT Quad Cab and am really loving the look of the Laramie duel exhaust and the back bumper.So which made me wonder if its possible for me to buy the Laramie bumper and buy the exhuast.

I've been thinking about doing the same on my SLT, I sure do love the look of that dual exhaust! I wonder how much that bumper runs?

i just e-mailed my dealer asking them how much it would cost and if they could do it.

Im sure i can add the bumper myself with no hassle but the Exhuast is not in my books plus figure it would riun my exhuast warranty

I would call and speak to Chysler Financial (the ones behind the warranty) and verify what would void your warranty. My friend called and they said dealer installed mopar parts would not void warranty even though my dealer said the opposite. Most answers are just a phone call away!

I did a lot of changes to a Neon a few years back and they said that as long as whatever you do it cannot be the cause for whatever problem you are in for trying to get warranty coverage

Remember the Laramie bumper also has the backup sensors in it which will make it more expensive. You can get the same bumper with the exhaust notches that they put on the SLT BigHorn without the backup sensors.

So I'm saying make sure the dealer orders the correct bumper for you.

If you change out the muffler, I doubt you will reinstall a quiet Mopar muffler. In doing so you'll change out the tailpipes so it would be cheaper to go the aftermarket route then the factory way; plus you'll have more options of mufflers and exhaust tips and pipe material. (Try to find a Corsa setup on eBay - they don't make them for this truck yet, but the prior generation muffler will work just fine. The only time you really hear it is at idle and when you nail the gas, you won't even hear it at cruise).

If your VIN doesn't include the notched bumper or the dual outlet exhaust, it won't be covered, factory parts or not - your vehicle wasn't built that way. You can change it, but it won't be covered. Besides after the 3/36 period, body parts are only eligible for the rust-through warranty and the exhaust components other than the cats are not included. So your really not missing much warranty-wise.
