Q: Ordered an OEM Resonator Pipe Assembly for the car.
Ordered an OEM Resonator Pipe Assembly for the car. Doesn't look like it quite fits. Really close to drive shaft and also the way it curves it sits right on heat shield on gas tank. Is this normal?
My car has an automatic transmission. I don't know what the existing exhaust was supposed to look like as it was a Mish mash of flex pipe. From all the diagrams I've seem this part should fit. Even coming from Dodge itself. My concern is how close it is to drive shaft and also the gas tank. Again, is this normal?
