    Does my 06 Coupe have TPMS?

    I can't understand why your tire shop guys were afraid of messing with something so common. A Viper wheel is like any other wheel......

    Does my 06 Coupe have TPMS?

    These sensors are a dime a dozen and are quite common (used on several vehicles). A legitimate tire shop should know and should not be a afraid of removing these. Anyone who knows how a use a wrench can remove these sensors.

    Does my 06 Coupe have TPMS?

    You simply unscrew the aluminum hex cap sleeve with a wrench then pull them from the inside of the wheel or push the valve stem through the hole. If you are re-installing them, it is a good idea to replace the grommet seals (the round black rubber seals on the base of the valve stem). You hate...

    2003-2006 Mopar 3" muffler install complete

    There have been several past discussions on this subject. The lesson here is to expect the annoying drone with this system unless you pony up a few extra bucks for the Corsa system. I personally have the Corsa system installed and appreciate the fact that there is absolutely no drone.

    08' SRT 10 oil change question

    Agree but the issue is the "Viper Tax" being placed on oil changes at some dealerships. Taking the car to the dealership and letting the Viper tech perform the oil change is the best way. However, there's no way I'm going to spend $150 for 11 quarts of 0W-40 and a Viper filter whereas they...

    08' SRT 10 oil change question

    Ditto for me. Changing the oil in this car is no different than any other car. The only thing you'll need is a low profile jack and a jack stand. Just make sure that the old filter gasket has been removed before installing the new filter. I always wipe and clean the filter surface by habit...

    AC making noise, sounds like it's coming from the glove box?

    F.Y.I. If your car is out of warranty, the cost of a new blower is $105 from Viper Parts of America.

    AC making noise, sounds like it's coming from the glove box?

    Remove the fan/blower to see if something is caught in the impeller or if there is an issue with the impeller itself.

    Exhaust Question: Weld or Self Tapping Screws?

    Corsa even advises you to tack weld the connections. I wouldn't do anything different (the reason why I tack welded mine).

    Hood question.

    Ditto - you don't need the hood pad. The Hardcore editions don't have them....

    Any tips on swapping a Gen3 hood with a Gen4?

    Simply place the studs in the holes on the hinges, align, then tighten the stud bolts. They both have the same hing stud configuration and are identical. The only difference between the two is the grounding strap configuration for the hood pads are different but you won't have to worry about...

    Exhaust Question: Weld or Self Tapping Screws?

    You can when you're clamping metal while trying to maintain practically an air-tight (exhaust-tight) seal. Band clamps are excellent on softer materials for obvious reasons but in this particular case, too much force can cause the metal (stainless steel) to deform and 304/304L stainless steel...

    Exhaust Question: Weld or Self Tapping Screws?

    The issue is not really the clamps but the 45lb. torque spec. They obviously don't want you to tighten it to the point where it makes the pipe ends elliptical instead of round - thus causing the connection to leak.

    Calling All '05 Commemorative Editions

    Yep, that's what a CE with less than 7k miles is going for :)

    Battery...How Long Did It Last?

    The key is keeping it charged (use a trickle charger when not in use) because once an OE battery goes dead, it will never be the same.

    Oil everywhere....

    Yeah, one of those things to look for when changing your oil. I have a routine of cleaning/wiping the seal surface area prior to screwing on a new filter for all of my vehicles.

    Calling All '05 Commemorative Editions

    Yep, #19 in Houston w/ 5,600 miles, Gen. IV hood, chromed 5 spokes, drilled/slotted rotors, and Corsa track exhaust.

    Color Codes for 2005 Commemorative Edition?

    Some listings still show SW1 but when I had my Gen. IV hood painted, the current code came in as PW1. Kind of strange because when you order touch-up paint, the paint that is cross-referenced is PW1.

    Looking at a 2003 Viper tomorrow...what to look out for?

    I agree. You can buy a good used '03 in the $30's and won't have to worry about any issues down the road. The windown regulator thing is not something that you could necesarily look out for - as they may work fine one day and start to give you problems the next. Every Gen. 3 Viper whether it...

    Fitting Gen 4 exhaust to Gen 3?

    What will bolt up to your straight pipe is the question and that depends on the size/diameter of that connection. The Gen 3/4 stock system is 2.5". A modification with a 2.5" outlet should accept a stock muffler. For pictures, go to the Corsa site and download the .pdf installation...

    Anyone Replace Stock Cats with High Flow Cats?

    Are you sure??? That's the price of a new Corsa system.

    Anyone Replace Stock Cats with High Flow Cats?

    Yes, it can be a little confusing if you have never seen a fully assembled Gen. III stock exhaust setup. Also, you can visit Corsa's website for the installation instructions (download the .pdf) on their system. It contains all of the necessary steps and suggestions for the Gen. III stock...

    Anyone Replace Stock Cats with High Flow Cats?

    There is no way to simply get rid of the crossover without changing out the entire system downstream of the mufflers. There are multiple pieces that starts at the muffler connection and what you see sticking out of the sill is not a short exhaust "tip" that can be removed. The least expensive...
