    RT Cat & Corsa Install Recommendation

    I've got all my hardware and am ready to replace my stock exhaust. Question: is this a DIY project or is it something I can tackle myself with jack stands and a little bit of elbow grease? I do not have access to a lift. Would appreciate any advice and or shops in the Northern Virginia / DC...

    Mobil One Oil Filters

    I have 2 cases of Mobil 1 Oil Filters (part number M1-204) left over from my Gen 2. Can anyone tell me if these will fit on my 2005 / Gen 3? Thanks, Charles.

    Sirius & RBQ - Maybe I'm slow...

    Sirius & RBQ - Maybe I\'m slow... I just installed Sirius Satellite to the stock "RBQ" radio in my 05 SRT-10. The system is working great even though I have not finished the install yet. Question: How do you get the artist and song information to display? All I get is the channel # and name...

    Wiring tips for replacement head units

    I recently installed a new head unit into my 02 RT/10 and used the existing wiring (including the factory 8 pin DIN plug) and amp. I received the following information from Crutchfield which some of you might find useful. Most of it was already available in the Service Manual. One other...

    Head unit replacement advice (last time - promise)!

    Looking for any advice on do's and dont's when replacing the head unit of the stereo system. I decided to go with the Pioneer DEH-P850MP. Has all the functionality I wanted and the buttons are a little larger than most units since it has an oversized (slide-out) display / controls. For the...

    Question for XM radio experts

    I'm trying to find a discrete area to mount a satellite antenna. Has anyone tried mounting one under the driver side "speaker grill" on the hood? I figure it would be inconspicuous but I wonder if the mettalic mesh of the grill would cause interference. Any good alternative locations?

    Stock Amplifier & Rear Subwoofer

    I removed the (rear) subwoofer on my 02 RT/10. The speaker impedance is 6 ohms according to the stamp on the back of it. Does anyone know if the rear channels on the amp are 4 ohm stable (ie. does a replacement need to be 6+ ohms)? Also, to get the best sound, should a crossover be installed...

    Mystery rod

    I was fishing around in the trunk of my 02 RT/10 to pull out the factory amp and I found a 5'6" fiberglass rod in the back of the trunk. It is black, 1/4" diameter made of fiberglass or carbon fiber with rubber endcaps on either end. It was bent, with it's arch hooked in with the electrical...

    Install crossover on new tweeter & door speaker?

    I am going to be replacing both the tweeters and door speakers next weekend in my 02 RT/10. Looking at the wiring diagram, it looks like both the tweeter and door speaker have the same feed from the amp (tweeter is a simple splice off of the door speaker). The speakers I ordered come with a...

    RT/10 rear window really is glass.

    I was doing my routine washing of the Viper this weekend. I was waiting for the second coat of Zaino to cure so I pulled out the rear window to wash off a few fingerprints and rain-x it. After polishing it, I put it away in its protective sleave and leaned it against the wall. Turned my back...

    Stone chip / heartbreak / advice

    Well it was bound to happen sooner or later. A rock decided to bounce off the hood and richochet into the windshield leaving deep scratches in her hood and a chip in the windshield. Even the 5 coats of Zaino was not strong enough protection for this. :rolleyes: Now that the mourning period...

    What were factory mods to boost Gen HP to 450?

    Another newbie question... What were the stock changes made in Gen 2's to boost power to 450hp? Do any of these changes make aftermarket mods less effective than published claims? i.e. are K&N filters & smooth tubes still good for 10+hp? are cat-back exhaust upgrades worthwhile...

    Squealing Brakes

    I've put about 400 miles on my 02 RT/10 since I bought it two weeks ago. Car runs/performs great (for a stock vehicle anyway ;) ) but the brakes squeal when applied lightly (like in traffic). I read in the owners manual that a certain amount of brake noise is normal. The pads are probably...

    New Owner

    Just bought a used 02 RT/10, Graphite with Cognac interior with 2600 miles (one owner car) and I have to say... I LOVE THIS CAR!! My last two cars were an 02 BMW 745i and an 02 Corvette (not ZO6) and neither one made me grin for an hour after I put the car away in the garage. Anyway, I was...
