Also my exhaust leak is coming from where the intake connects to the cat. So the gasket between the two just needs replacing. I also may buy 2 new tires for the SRT4 since I cant prob afford a whole set at once
What did you just say Nick? :rofl: Don't you mean where the exhaust manifold/header connects to the cat?

What size tires you looking to get? Direct replacement size? 205/50/17? Or upgrade the width a bit to a 215/50/17?
All seasonals or a 3 season performance tire?

Rhode Island may not be as realistic as I thought. Due to financial status. It'll be down to the wire for me. I'm up in the air about tires as well.

Also, I live in the Lake George, NY area. there is about 8 or so local SRT4's. We may do a spring/summer get together if anyone is interested. ill keep people posted.

I ordered them today at Dodge, Crystal. They will be in tomorrow. So yay to going back to stocks. Do they come with an adhesive on one side of them so that I do not have to buy a new adhesive. Also today guys, I cleaned off my SRT4 fuel injector cover with some nail polish remover and cleaned it off to repaint it. I took a page out of DanteNeon's book a while back and tried out a Paint Pen. Sorry guys, Used my cell phone, doesn't give it justice but it really did come out good.

Yesterday, I had the gasket near the cat replaced because of the awful sound it was making. Pics will be uploaded soon. I also put new taillight gaskets on my stock tails and put them back on the ACR as well. Im so much happier with the look and sound. On the bad side, my SRT4 has a slight coolant smell yesterday after being warmed up. stay tuned.
