Best Sounding Viper?

[USAF BAD ASP]

I am running straight pipes with sean roe's high flow cats.. it sounds great and is very loud. It sounds best at wide open throttle.. people at the track 2 weeks ago commented on how awesome it sounded going down the track. I was on a budget so it worked for me. Less than $300 for everything... I did the work myself..

If you're looking for more power though, you'll need headers and some other setup.. headers can really help

ACR Joe has a Belanger setup - sounded GREAT to me.

The Belangers combined with the Borla cat-back and Roe cats would be my choice. Sounds absoulutely wicked at high RPM.

I vote for the full Belanger set up with either 2 or 4 mufflers--no cats. It is down right mean at WOT. Rattles the upstairs windows at idle in the garage.

Im trying to figure this out, some run no cats others run no mufflers. What is the difference? Which is louder? Which puts out more power? Which has less heat? Any other notable differences???

Anybody ever tried Belanger headers with straight pipes (no cats, no muffs)?

I run Hennessey headers, Borla 3" exhaust, Roe hi-flow cats, and no mufflers. Sounds pretty good, especially at WOT. Met up with GENXGTS (Ryan) over the weekend and he seemed to like the sound too. Sounded especially awesome going WOT in the tunnel that goes under the river between Detroit and Windsor, Canada.

I must type too fast. And UtahViper, I love the loud sound on mine, even on long trips but I am now afraid it can be used to locate me by the local po po when I am doing some "spirited" driving.

My experience is no cats produces a louder exhaust note, and probably a little more hp due to the less restriction in the exhaust path caused by the inside guts of the cat. as for heat? id say less heat because of the lack of the cats cause those things get real hot when they are working. sometimes removing mufflers actually causes a loss of hp due to the compelete absence of backpressure.
What confuses me is where do you take the car to have the cats removed? most exhaust shops wont even think about doin that for you, and where do you find O2 simulators for a viper?

For enough money you can get a shop to do anything you want. Ask around at some performance shops in your area and I'm sure they will point you int the right direction as to which shop would do the cat work. As for O2 sims, a coiple of suppliers on this board sell them.

I run the Hennessey headers and cat back with no cats and no mufflers. It sounds absolutely incredible. I took some friends of mine for a ride on a wide road that curved around their building and they were amazed at the high pitch the exhaust made.

If you drive this system around on weekends and special occasions it is fine but if you want to do a road trip it is toooooo loud.

My wife and neighbors can hear me a half a mile away at WOT.

Belangers + 3" SIdepipes with a Race bullet muffler.

A three inch set of Roe's cats and some Borla Sportsman's gives a deep low pitched idle, a thunderous outrageous WOT, and an inner cabin drone that could cause brain damage. I recieved daily accolades of "awesome, incredible, loud, scarry, impressive, etc." Slap a couple of Axis turbos on there and you get to keep the idle, still have an outrageous WOT, and no more drone.

The wife thinks the "exhaust fix" was definitely needed but a bit disappointed in that I couldn't find a little cheaper way to fix it.

 

[Tom and Vipers]

I have no cats and totally blown out mufflers and the sound in Bad Viper is very loud with a nice loud drone in the passenger car department.

I saw Ori Rosenbaum's viper that he sold (wonder who bot it?) that had 550 HP and simple straight pipes exhaust. When he would take off at the Virginia City Hill Climb, all heads turned. It was wicked loud (to use Adam *******'s favorite word.)

I liked Ori's.

What I wonder is if a 3.5 or 4" straight pipe system would fit out the back.

 

[ElDiablo Viper]

I have Corsa and no cats. The car is very loud! It scares little Civics away.

 

[GTS Bruce]

I have the cdi coated headers to 3" ss pipe to 3" corsa.No cats,Apex syms.I thought it was too loud but quickly got used to it.Not bad at all in a GTS with the windows up.Not bad at light throtle and low cruise RPM.Awesome when on the loud pedal.Probably too loud for an RT unless you drive with ear plugs.Makes me smile.Makes the wife smile.Makes everyone smile because they just can't beleive it.
