    size of stock catalytic converters?

    I see that you are using clamps to connect the cats to the (stock?) headers. From what I have read so far, this is rather unusual as most people weld the cats to the header pipe. Any issues doing it this way (stability, leakage...)? How much of the header pipe is reaching into the cat? I am...

    There may be some confusion on whether the front (side) or rear markers are meant to be removed?! I guess OP means the latter ones??

    Vipers@Mecum

    Thought I would share recent Viper sales at Mecum auction in Kansas City. I was surprised to see a 2002 RT/10 being sold for 31k and a 1996 RT/10 (white w/ blue stripes) for 34,5k. Ok, the latter one has very few miles... Holger

    Question regarding 98 MY RT/10

    It also says: "'98 numbers include 12 pilot and pre-production units (6 roadsters and 6 coupes) which will not be sold." So probably, those used for the brochure were some of those...?! But I'd still like to know, when in general production lines were switched to new MYs? Was is always...

    Question regarding 98 MY RT/10

    Hi, I think it's time for a question from my side again :omg: I have a '98 RT/10 built in November of that year. Thus it comes with the Gen 2 hood. Now I have noticed that in the `98 Dodge Viper sales brochure the roadsters shown all still have the Gen 1 hood. In real life (including...

    No Heat!!

    Front vents (dash) and leg cooler will never blow hot air as the air bypasses the heater core. Defrost and floor vents should however blow heated air, depending on the position of the mode door, see following diagram: Holger

    Heating Question

    True. But usually, it's indicated by an additional light that A/C is on and you can typically switch it off, if you want but still direct air flow to the windshield. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining at all. Actually it is fun to discover those small Viper "secrets" every once in a while...

    Heating Question

    BTW: One other thing I learned is, that the "Defrost" position always switches on the A/C. I noticed that because of the fan going on high speed and making more noise. Later I found a respective comment "hidden" in one of the student workbooks. Holger

    Question regarding stock exhaust v-band clamp

    Actually, the service manual says this :omg: I don't plan to connect a new pipe to the header flange, I just want to remove this part from the car to better cut off the old and weld in the new cats. So I was wondering whether or not I really have to buy a new v-band clamp when I put the...

    Question regarding stock exhaust v-band clamp

    Hi, I am planning to install a Corsa cat back system together with hiflow cats on my '98 RT/10. In order to weld in the hiflow cats, I need to disconnet the exhaust from my (stock) headers. If I am not mistaken, this part connects via a v-band clamp to the headers and this v-band clamp can...

    Heating Question

    Attached is an overview of the climate control modes taken from the Body Electrical Viper Student Workbook which I purchased on Ebay months after I started this thread. It helps to understand the logic of the system that sometimes confuses (me) :smirk: Holger

    Found the frame VIN

    Now, I could also locate and find the VIN stamped in on the engine block as also described by the International Viper Registry. It wasn't easy but with a small pocket lamp it was possible to manoeuver the light to that area on the rear side of the enginge block (standing next to the car on the...
