Maybe someone can help with this question. I just bought a 2012 manual RT and it's crazy loud and drones. Was looking at getting a used factory exhaust to throw on it. Will an exhaust off a 2016 manual RT fit ?

Welcome from AZ, I don't think it will bolt right up. You might be able to butcher it and get it on. Your best bet would be from a 2009-2014 R/T manual. Where are you located? I have one you can have but you would have to pick it up.

Welcome to the Forumz, Tyman :)

If the exhaust pipes themselves are different sizes you can simply add exhaust pipe adapters to match the size, if the adapters add too much length, you may need to do some cutting to bring it back to stock alignment. Note: The length alignment I am referring to is at the tailpipe area.

The problem will be the hanger locations after the muffler are different between those years but the 2 rear hangers after the differential should be the same on both sides.

You can use exhaust hangers you can buy from any auto parts store to support the system at the muffler area, if you shop around you can even find the hangers that match the stock hanger brackets on the bottom of the car, you may need to look at Amazon or Ebay. I suggest using exhaust band clamps not the traditional muffler U style clamps that dent into the metal. Ry
