Appalachian Journey Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Exhaust pipe cracked at weld, back of mid-muffler/resonator. It’s old. The O.E. replacement is a cat back assembly. From online Mopar discount parts sites it’s $1,000 USD to my door. Price made me chuckle. I could do Viper style side pipes or cut a hole in the hood and flip the exhaust manifold.

5rebel9 Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 So, my being a relative newbie to the site...... Just what year / engine is your DJ? tried looking for that info from your profile and postings and could not find it. I've gone to using rockauto for most all of my parts needs including exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appalachian Journey Posted October 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hello 5rebel9. I like RA too. The Mopar unit there is $822 + $311 freight (only option). They also sell aluminized steel products but I remember that stuff. There's plenty of stainless aftermarket bullet type resonators available but I worry about drone inside the cabin and noise out the rear. I don't like noisy cars. I'll probably search the local salvage lots for a low mileage donor. Mine is an 09 SE four banger. It's has high mileage so I'm not bummed about it, though I've had GM products with higher miles and no exhaust repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND yes sometimes RA has great prices for a part, but shipping is prohibitively high. I was once going to buy a replacement fender for my 04 T&C for $22. till at checkout to find the cheapest shipping was $240. I cancelled that part! It was not long after that I "retired" the T&C and replaced it with my current '10 Lucerne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John/Horace Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 There was a recall on cat converters on some 2.4 Journeys. Daughter in law got a new one no charge on a 2012 last year from dealer. They were failing internally so emissions testing wasn’t passing standards. Looks like 2009 not covered, crap.
