Charger/Challenger owners, I need your help.

I would like to get an exhaust for my buggy, but all the ones I see have a very long header tube. Mine is very short, and what I want to know is, does mrp make one specifically for our buggies? Also, can anyone tell me the bolt pattern our buggies run? I am also in the market a new front hub and a set of lug bolts and nuts to go along with it. I noticed the front wheel was wobbling, and when I removed the wheel, I noticed that the hub was bent. When I replaced the wheel, I crossthreaded one of the lug bolts and the nut that goes with it. Does anyone know the manufacturer of these buggies? What engine is in it brandwise? I see all these references to different engines, and am not really sure what I have. And last but not least, can the hubs be replaced with different ones that may have a bolt pattern that is more likely to fit aftermarket wheels?

the bolt pattern is 4x110, I might have a hub, I will look when I get to the store, not sure who the manufactor is but roketa, collister sells them. as far as exhaust goes, no one makes a kit for those. I sold a fmf slip on to CTE and he seems to like it.

For the fmf pipe to work would I have to cut my exhaust to use the header pipe? I am all ears(eyes), as this is a mod I really want to do.

you have to cut the old muffler off where it connects to the header.

heres a link that CTE did http://www.buggynews.com/topic14158.html#141372

I was just visiting your website and noticed that you have the hub I need listed in your parts catalog. Do you carry the lug bolts and nuts?

yes, I carry all that stuff. I am out of front hubs, but have several by friday. what is the number on the wheel bearings? there are a couple of diff ones.

I will have to take the hub off tonight and look for the numbers. Can you suggest a good battery for these buggies?

the engine is probably a cn 250 honda clone as that is what is in most of these buggys

Thanks Big E, you have been a great help. I got a yuasa from my local motorcycle shop, along with a 124, 130, and 136 main jet, and a k&n clone 48mm air filter. I really want to get the exhaust situated now. I can suck, and boom now, if I could only squeeze and fart better I would be a lot happier. I realize you and I are in the same neck of the woods, any chance I can have a face to face with you? Maybe I can spend a buck or two and also learn something about my new hobby!
