    Cat removal

    Well I went ahead and removed the secondary cats on my 03 SRT. Cut out the cats and welded in some 2 1/2 inch pipe. I attempted to gut the cats but quickly decided to just cut them out. My primary goal was to reduce the heat in the cabin and sills. It seems to be a touch louder with reduced...

    Cat removal

    It is time to do something about cabin and sill heat in my 03 SRT. I am looking at Eliminating a set of the stock cats. I am looking at Random Techs and Roe racing. Big difference in price !Any suggestions ? Jack

    Mopar Atlantic Nats

    I attended the Mopar Nats at E Town on Saturday. There was not a single Viper in attendance. I am thankful I did not bring mine. I spoke with the tech guys who advised me that my 03 Vert would not be permitted to go quicker than 13.50. My guess is that I would have to shut it off at 1000' to no...

    got a ticket for no front plate

    Hate to admit it, but I've been a cop for 30 years in Jersey and I occasionally got some satisfaction from writing Vette guys for no front plate. Now, My 99 RT/10 has no front plate and will not get one. I have not been stopped yet but I certainly will understand if it happens. Yep, there are...

    Build date ?

    Did a search of previous threads but did not find an answer. Where can I find a build date on my 99 RT ?. On all my previous Mopars, it was on the drivers door but not on the Viper.

    Drag racing tech ?

    I know at some point this summer, I am going to take a few passes with the Viper at E-town. I routinely go through tech with my 340 Scamp with no problems. What top will they require on the Viper ? Can i race with the lighter soft top or will I need the hardtop ?? Jack

    Hi Everybody..looking for an RT-10

    I am also in North Jersey, just a few miles from you. Last month, I located and bought a clean 99 RT/10 with 17,000 miles on it. This one was found in the classified section of this site as well as Viper Alley. It was purchased for low 30s. I had been looking for about 3 months. I figured with...

    Cats gone

    After reading about 100 previous posts on removal of the catalytic converters, I yanked mine out today. Good thing I did, as the insulation was toast around the cats. Went to Pep Boys and bought a pair of 2 1/2 " straight pipes, cut out the cats and clamped em in. Went for a short ride and...

    Cat removal

    I spent some time last night reviewing the previous posts on the removal of the cats but I'm still unclear about it. My 99 Rt/10 has a 3" Borla cat back system which includes mufflers right behind the stock cats. I am considering removal of the cats and replacing them with 2 1/2" straight pipe...

    22nd Annual Mopar Weekend @ Englishtown - 5/17 & 5/18

    I have been racing that event for the last 10 years or so with my 340 Scamp. Don't know if I will bring the newly acquired 99 RT or the Scamp but I will be there. Scamp is quicker ( 11.44 @ 118) and alot easier to launch and....alot cheaper to fix if it gets a little loose.

    Engine Temp ?

    After reading multiple posts regarding engine temps, I began to wonder if anyone has tried Coolant additives in a Viper,such as Red Line Water Wetter. I use it in my 340 Valiant bracket race car and it dropped summer engine temps about 10 degs.
