Can I change exhaust tips on 2013 Rt

I have changed the middle mufflers to Magnaflow and am doing a reso delete soon. Can I take off the stock square outlets and install exhaust tips on the straight pipe?
My fear is: The stock square unattached outlet may provide some heat protection. Will attached tips get hot and melt the plastic? I expect to use 2.5" in and 4" tips to take up the cutout area.
Thanks for any input.

There are a few threads around here, but I don't have time to dig them up now. It's kind of a pain to get the stock tips off because the bolt locations are tricky, but a few guys have done it and quad tips look awesome!

I did it with massive Banks ovals.



Getting the stock "tips" out is a PITA. You need some elbow grease for sure. I hated those things, both before removal and even more so when I took them out.

Here is a good thread:

IMO the round tips look good on the R/T's after you get the square pegs out. Either chrome or black. I bought the chrome borla 4 inch tips and plasti-dipped them matte. No problems with heat. They have over 4000 miles on them.

For the guys who put aftermarket tips on, did you guys leave your reso's on?
I don't think you can - every aftermarket tip I've seen is at least 6-8 in long and would poke out the back of the valance if you leave the reso's on. Main reason why I haven't done it yet.

Yeah removing the reso's is whats stopping me. Yesterday I got the mufflers cut off. I like it. Very aggressive on start-up. Its a little raspy at high RPM's it seems but I don't floor it often. This may be a stupid question but can single exhaust tips (like the SRT's) work? I figured the quad tips didnt

It would have to be a short tip to keep the resos on. I deleted mufflers and resos and I LOVE the sound. She gets a lot of attention. :)
Straight pipe all the way through? Video? How's the drone?

I posted a video in the "RT exhaust" section just the other day. Today I drove my family to Napa to celebrate the 4th (about a 40 mile drive) and I kept it in 5th gear on the freeway at about 1900-2000 rpm with no drone. In fact, it's quieter at cruising speeds than it was when I was running flowmaster 40's with reso delete. I love my straight pipes!
