Hemi 5.7
Hello guys new to the forums. I own a 2016 ram black express edition with dual exhaust hemi 5.7 so yesterday I was in a car accident and he hit me ok the highway my back bumper is messed up and my left exhaust got tilted left. He has no insurance So now i went to dodge and they want to charge me 2k for the repair they told me I need a new bumper and exhaust. So I thought to myself maybe this is my chance to buy a custom exhaust. I wanted to see if possible I can get exhaust coming from the side of the car like before the tires. And which exhaust do you guys recommend. Thank you guys in advance! And where can I get a rear bumper for a good price I checked eBay but nothing maybe I'm searching wrong

Had almost same thing happen to me.
a guy hit me, and it was his g/f car.
The Ins. company said "HE" had no ins.
I said BUT the car did.
Then they sid well maybe he stole the car.
I said NOPE they are a couple, google them and facebook them, they just had baby.
They did everything in there power not to fix my truck, UNTIL I said the lovely "L" word
LAWYER
got my truck fixed then.
Funny thing is it took about 3 weeks before truck was repaired and the whole time, the Ins. never heard from the lady or her b/f about the accident.
Guess they thought I would just go away.
sorry about your man.
In my case, you could barely tell there was damage, BUT when the Ins. company started jerking me, I had it repaired
New bumper and new exhaust tips.
Yes I said tips, seems the body shop said you couldn't buy just one tip
I said whatever fix it.....

Gotta hate when people run around without insurance. Glad you didn't have any pysical injuries. Honestly if your footing the bill I would. Check other local reputable paint and body shops. Dealerships can get you pretty good. My 14 has the whole roof repainted under warranty, my local dealer doesn't have a body shop so we used there independent certified body shop and they quoted the dealer $750 for a full strip and repaint. You can get the express/sport bumper for $300 add paint your probably 5-600 in the bumper and exhaust shop could fix you factory exhaust for couple hundred with new tips. If you want to go side exhaust route might I suggest a roll pan and custom exhaust shop. I don't know any bolt of kits that's side exhaust. I know Gibson made some kits for older trucks but haven't seen any on these new trucks. Good luck hope you get some entertainment out of this.

I don't think anyone makes a bolt on exhaust kit that shoots out before the rear tires, but you can have an exhaust shop do it all for you. Shouldn't cost all too much
