Do post on the outcome.. and good luck mate!

Hi Bam.. it is not from the corvette. I think they have their exhaust outlet in the middle. I wanted something similar to the first picture in the post (merc c63), yet I wanted the edges curved. Here's a pix that you can show to your local body shop. It would be even sweeter in Carbon..

Thanks guys.. appreciated! Depending on how you want your DJ to look, you will require to make a new the rear diffuser if you install a quad tip exhaust. My DJ has the 2.4L engine (1 muffler, 1 exhaust tip), hence I had to make the new rear diffuser to accommodate the quad tip. For 3.6L engine it already has a twin muffler hence need not change the rear diff. Just to note that a mod is necessary only when the exhaust tip is larger than the rear diffuser cutout. The sequence I did it was to acquire the double exhaust tip (in order to have an idea of the diameter size and its width). Bring it to a body shop to make a new rear diff. I will be handy to have a photo of a rear diff to show them. Put your own flair to it if you want to. For me, I just kept it simple. Once painted and installed, I then headed to a muffler shop to install the aftermarket muffler and quad tip. Fitment was no issue. Hope this helps..

Hi RCman, I have a 2014 DJ R/T with the Alpine system. Do you have the pictures of the original Alpine speakers vs the Mopar/Kicker version? How hard was it to swap the in dash speaker? And how about the Sub, what did you change them into?

Definitely black looks better than red! You should smoke the rear light as well to match. Hope that is paint. Film just does not look good. I had mine painted smoke candy red for all rear lights.

Had read through all of the 8 pages. Wow! Just intrigued on why this can't be easily addressed by the dealer? I do agree with the input that someone had raised to list the firmware that those had issues with. We could go a step further by listing the Uconnect version, map version, country version, etc. The more detail the better. Maybe to also indicate what other options are within the unit. Like for example mine has no xirius. Compile this info into a Ms.Excel/Ms.Word file for future reference. I know its a long shot but at least through the above we can analize and see if the problem are happening to which unit, uconnect firmware, software/options installed within the unit. Mine have not had any issues for 2 years that I had this car from new. Still bellow 30k. Yet this thread gets me worried as my warranty will end next year. Furthermore, what worries me more is that my dealership do not give extended warranty for Indonesia. This thread had started since 2014 and still the problem persist. Would request moderator to put it as a sticky!

Nicely done mate. U should paint the other panels! I like the red stripe u put there. Is that red paint or sticker? Am pretty sure the resonator is the one in the middle. What is a resonated tip?

Forgot the name of the color. But it's the only red dodge offer. All DJs should be from the US isn't it?!? Every six months I go to Meguire to get it polish and coated. Their product have always been great.

Yes I concur! The paint does make a huge difference. Thanks.

Not much choices where I live. Am currently using Remus exhaust with the stock resonator. Slightly bassy on idle/low rev and it slowly diminishes at higher rpm?! Dunno how to explain it but it seems like the K&N Apollo sound louder inside the cabin at high RPM than the exhaust. It drones a bit at 2500 rpm so will install some sound deadening at the rear end. How was your magnaflow setup? Did you manage to get rid of the drone sound? Do you know if there is a universal valve exhaust system out there that can be applied to DJs? For the diffuser, you don't really need to buy another set. The bodyshop will make a replica of your existing one and work from there. Just make sure to ask the shop not to ruin the original diff so that you can reuse it. @Sean: It costs me less than USD 200 in total for the custom diff and to paint the other lower panels.

I think the latest facelift was with the DJ Crossroads. It has a different front & rear bumper and side skirt. Might also be different for FIAT Freemont.

@dhh3: Thanks. I like it more!! It's not black chrome. I had actually painted all lower panels including the new diffuser with gloss black. @Steve_T: yeah.. just one off. @Cody: It does look subtle. Try and find a good local bodyshop. Am sure they can do it as per your design. Initially I wanted in carbon yet it takes two week. If I did that I had to customize the front and side skirt to match. Just to much work and creativity involved. That would take even longer. This is the final product:

I got he diffuser installed yesterday. Let me know how you guys think.

Its an Akrapovic tip. This is how mine looks like. Custom made with 1 inlet and 2 outlet: Bellow are the original Akrapovic tips which are individual tip: If you want the old version: Many choices out there, you may google them.
