Jim,
1. They are about 1" below the manifold flange on either side.
2. 2" nominally with bend choking down to 1.5"
3. Behind/directly above the crossmember.
4. Mufflers yes, cats maybe not unless you staggered them
5. If I wernt in CA or had my own smog shop Id do the same.
6. Stainless muffler and cat for sure. Tail pipe, at least the tip end is
mild steel cause mines already rusting (gonna get a new one from the dealer
under warranty). The head pipes Might be stainless, but who cares! their
time on this earth (or at least my truck) is limited.

Subject: DML: R/T Exhaust questions
Those of you with a R/T that have examined your exhaust please see if you
can answer
the following questions for me.
How far down the exhaust pipes from the manifold are the 1st set of O2
sensors? One
on each side?
What size are the stock exhaust pipes? ( Exhaust pipe is the pipe from the
manifold
to the Cat.)
Where is the Cat located? In front of the cross member or behind it like
the other
V8s?
Would there be room for two cats standing on their sides and two mufflers
also
standing on their sides?
I am thinking of using 2.5" cats and 2.5" mufflers with the stock 3"
tailpipe and
adding another 3" pipe to match if possible on the left side.
How much of the system appears to be stainless steel?
Thanks for any answers you may be able to give me. I'll let all know if the
Mopar
headers and modified 2.5" Y pipe can be reused off of my 98 5.2L.
Jim in Waco...99 R/T shipped on the 25th. (hard to wait)
