    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...

    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...

    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

    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...

    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.

    Blown speaker

    The base speaker between the seats in my 99 R/T is blown. Before I begin to rip my interior apart, does anybody know if it comes out through the front or the trunk ?? I'm guessing someone else has replaced it.

    Snow !!

    It figures, I just got the insurance on the newly acquired 99 R/T and we get 10" of snow. Maybe I could plow the driveway with it. Oh well, spring is coming.

    Wheel hop ?

    Still trying to post a few pics of the Viper and 340Scamp bracket car. Anyway, two quick ??. I noticied a fair amount of wheel hop in my 99 R/T in 1st & 2nd. Is this unusual ? And... is changing the thermostat a big issue ?? Easy to change, tuning problems ?? What a blast to drive !!!
