Yes, but be prepared for a long wait from Wag-Aero. I ordered in November and still waiting....

FA dodge can set you up with a great set..... and if you need the 150 support bracket I might be able to set you up with a guy that can produce one.

I replaced my older 150 exhaust I purchased used in 1997 last year. Took it to Aerospace Welding in Eagan, MN for repair, they said it was toast. They put a new system together in 3 days, all components have part and serial numbers on them with the appropriate paperwork. I'm very happy with the installation and recommend them for all exhaust system needs. TO :)

Your photo is a great example of why the pancake mufflers have an inspection AD on them. Now if that had been the cabin heat side.....
