SRT-4 Exhaust on a 01 SE

01DodgeGirl · Post by **01DodgeGirl** » Sun Oct 01, 2006 5:14 pm

I own a 2001 Neon SE and I'm planning on putting the SRT-4 rear and I'm wanting to install the SRT-4 Performance Exhaust system from www.mopartsracing.com so it'll fit the rear cuttouts on the bumper. I was wondering how difficult this would be to install the muffler or should I just have a custom set done and ran to the cut-outs. Thanks.

Don't do it. Your taillights are different, and wont fit with the bumper. On top of that, the exhaust you speak of does not have a muffler at all, and will be too loud since your car does not have a turbocharger. If you wan't a great dual exhaust get the vibrant exhaust from http://modernperformance.com

I'm going to be adding the SRT-4 Rear on with the taillights and I'm just wanting a good sounding muffler that will fit the rear cuttouts

Maybe the Thermal exhaust for SRTs that Modern sells will sound decent on a N/A car? Its got a muffler.

would the borla exhaust for the SRT-4 that modernperformance has work too. it's alot cheaper

Itll fit, but itll sound like shit and be rediculously loud.

If you want cheap, get an R/T muffler and have the tips cut and welded to fit the SRT cutouts. Then the car would sound good and not be too loud.

ok that sounds like a good idea too, what size tip would look the best to be welded on to fit the cut-outs

Eh, I dont think she wants R/T. From what I understand its just as quiet as the SXT\SE\Whatever muffler. Best bet if you want to go cheap and loud is to go to an exhaust shop and ask them what they can do. Chances are they will hook u up with a nice setup.

could i get the R/T thermal muffler that modernperformance has and just have the tips changed to fit the SRT-4 rear

Yes, or you could also keep your stock rear end and make the cutouts that are already marked on the inside of your bumper!

im going to change out my rear bumper anyways because the SRT-4 looks better anyway and I already know that I need the taillights

Well first, I do not agree with this. There is a difference. Ive had both. The r/t is louder, even more so with supporting mods.

Secondly. You know, you could add the glasspack to it. Sounds pretty decent that way.

Last but not least, my marks were on the outside. . Not sure if that is any different on the younger years.

Yeah, I have an SRT exhaust on my 2000 and YES it is loud, but once I add an inline glasspack it will sound awesome.

So I think your going to just get a wide array of opinions here.....but personally if your going with the SRT rear bumper, then just do the srt exhaust. You can find one used (like I did) either here or on neons.org for probably no more than $60 SHIPPED, and then just get a $30 glasspack and have someone weld it in for you. Personally, for the price....I don't think you can beat it.

^^What he said - buy a used srt rear section and just add a glasspack inline to it and it will sounds grrreat.... plenty of people on here running just that.

RT exhaust is great sounding too - you could go that route, but you will end up spending more moolah - muffler is usually more on here and then you have shipping which is more because weight/size and then you need to do some custom work which a muffler shop may charge you like 20-30$ for.

Personally, a 3" tip would look nice and not be too ricey.
