I have the chance to buy a SRT rear section for $65 shipped. Would this be a good buy? Am I gonna notice any gain with it?? Anybody have any pics of one installed on a non-SRT4. Thanks guys/gals!!

YES.
You don't really
need a muffler, but it's obnoxiously loud without one. I just used a 20-something inch glasspack to replace the first resonator on the SRT midsection. If you're not going to get the midsection, I'd pull the SXT midsection and get one in there.
$65 is a decent buy for the rear section, but I bought the whole catback for $100 shipped.

$65 shipped isn't too bad. They normally go for about $50 without shipping.

i got mine for $25 and have it w/no glasspack and i love it.....but i was raised on open cammed muscle cars so if its not loud i hate it.....it is very loud and raspy w/no muffler but i love it.....if u wanna make a decision just unbolt your stock muffler and drive a few miles like that....thats what it'll sound like w/no glass pack

sounds like a great deal. the exhaust will be obscenely loud w/o a muffler of some sort. my gf (ebsxt) has the srt rear with a 24" cherry bomb and it sounds great. still quite loud tho. most people will suggest a 30+" glasspack, but imo that makes the exhaust too quiet.

When I had my custom exhaust on the r/t(sme as srt-4) I had a 28" thrush glasspack on it. Just place it in the midpipe. I paid only like $25 for it.

The right tip on all of the srt rear's curl up a little bit, i think some people have been able to fix it, but i dont know how. The right tip has melted the bumper and formed its own cutouts. Overall, it was a good buy, I think i paid 50 for mine, picked up.

my srt rear section melted my bumber too, but OB did my cut outs for my with his dremel. they turned out really nicely. i didnt like the look of my bumber all melted, looks sketchy imo. but i love it. looks like beauty and sounds like a beast

The SRT rear section is actually louder than no muffler, because it has two outlets, and it gives a droning sound.

So maybe I am not paying any attention here....but will this work on a 2000? If so, second question...will it work from the cat back or just the axle back? Thanks for any info...looks like I found my next project!

Midpipe back will work. You will ahve to get a piece from any parts store that will go from 2"-2.25" since you have a 2000.

It's not plug and play on a 2000. We get shafted with a 2" pipe instead. Don't get me wrong, it'll fit. Mine is a 2000, it just involves some cutting and adding an adapter, little less than plug and play that's all. Even midpipe back requires cutting and adapting. Off the stock cat is 2", cut out that drop down and add an adapter and you'll get 2 1/4" all the way back.

i let the tips on my car melt the bumper

eventually, ill pull the rear section off and lightly trim the melted bits off. As far as adjusting how hi/low the right tip hangs, just grab some strong pliars and adjust the hanger on the right side, open it wider to drop it, pinch it to raise it

If anyone is interested i can send you sound clips of my srt rear section with no muffler. I had installed the entire catback and liked it better with the stock midpipe.

I just put my rear section on today with a 31" glasspack.
It sounds great IMO
I agree with matt, its still very loud when you give it hell.
