Unless you're doing an exact MoPar replacement then as long as the
lengths are correct you shouldn't be concerned. I've not seen any
performance exhaust mufflers that are perfect matches.

I replaced my factory exhaust system with a Borla SS set and the pipes
were larger in diameter, there was no reasonator and the mufflers were
smaller. But the double walled chrome tipes still came out the back
where they should be. And there is no comparison to the tone
improvement.
