Roadtrek exhaust replacement ?

[richardg40]

I have a 2003 Dodge 318 190P Roadtrek and it will be in storage until may 1 st . My question is i know this spring it will need a complete exhaust replacement but i would like to know if there are tanks or plumbing pipes in the way that i have to take off before i bring the van to the muffler shop ?

If so i might try to get it out of storage at an earlier date . Thanks !!

Update : it was the catalytic converter that was plugged and blew up the side of it making it very loud and loosing some hp . A Dodge part was $ 600 but aftermarket high flow was $199 and thats what they installed . Got great service, they even lent us a car .

Your muffler man will want everything left in place, so he can route the new exhaust tubing properly to miss anything that is heat sensitive (plastic) or that moves (suspension).

I recommend you have a coupler installed between the catalytic converter and the muffler, in case either needs to be removed. If the transmission ever has to come out, the downpipes and catalytic converter need to be removed first.
