Nice effort but...
Perhaps not a good video comparison for two reasons.
1. Looking at the condensation & smoke coming out of the tailpipe in the 2nd vid it looks like the videos were taken at two different engine temps And two diff ambient temps. This alone will change the sound at idle. My...
Blue, Please explain how.
and,
Picture this basic example:
You weigh 200 lbs.
You are sitting on top of a 10" tall spring with a 2" thick Book under your @$$.
You are currently 11" above the ground because your weight is compressing the spring exactly 1 inch
You then stand up...
Blue, How would thinner caps make a car any looser than stock?
-Ride height a tad lower
-more aerodynamic from less air going under
-Lower center of gravity
-Alignment can still be adjusted to whatever you want
what am i missing?
----------------------------------------
I personally woud...
Chrome is too shinny IMO
MGW is a gawdy piece of rice IMO
Stock with the clearcoat sanded off and the aluminum polished down to whatever sheen suits your personal taste is another option. I like mine with a satin/brushed finish, Like 1000grit or so. You do have to maintain it...
Specifically talking about Gen3's:
On a scale of 0 - 10 : 0 being the least desirable to me. 10 being the most desirable to me.
0 - Viper with and engine that was rebuilt or replaced do to some undocumented failure buy some undocumented shop

5 - A Gen3(especialy03/04) with a...
Right. That kinda defeats the purpose of the flexjoint where it is. lol
I'd unbolt that mount, like i did on mine.
The flexjoint can still have a benifit in that position though. The exhaust does grow by some amount(DaveXXXX measured it) from cold to hot. The flex could help keep the exit...
Simply recommending a manufacture dosnt help him.
Magnaflow makes hundreds of different mufflers with Several diff designes that all sound different.
This is the one that i am currently running:
http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd.asp?zone=main&id=10474...
The reason is because the aftermarket headers delete the stock flex pipe. Our torquey V10's move around alot twisting the exhaust system. Most of us dont worry about it though...
Wow, this thread is all over the place. I dont know what you guys are talking about and its funny how the OP(Roy) is giving advice and telling stories that dont pertain to his original question.
:dunno::dunno::dunno::dunno::dunno:
Right, the brighter an HID gets the more the color washes out to a lower temp, So a 55w 6K might look similar in color to a 35w 5K.
Differs from manufacture-to-manufacture though.
Venom facia? Never heard of that. Have a pic or link?
Your gen2 Facia has a ~1.75" lip(air-dam) protruding down...
the standard 35w versions of HID's offer plenty of additional lumins over stock lighting. I am annoyed when people come up behind me on the road with extra bright HID's and i can only assume they are running 55'ers...
Im pretty sure the 55's are technically illegal for road use. Doubt many...
I don't understand the "visual inspection" thing...
A. There is a heat shield blocking view of the headers
B. Even if they see it, How would they know the diff between and aftermarket header vs the tubular header that came on the later Gen2's?
+1 Steve
I'll ad that ive been a passenger on a road course three times. Once with Steve, Once with another experienced racer. Both were fast as ****. On both ridalongs i felt comfortable & safe because every thing that they did was predictable to me as every driver input mimicked the...
Yes they are very nice looking in the fancy GenV interior but i think they'd clash with the raw/minimalistic Gen1/2 interior.
Also, i'd rather have a more functional aftermarket seat for a fraction of the price.(corbeau, cobra, recaro, sparco, ect...)
EBC Red & Hawk HPS Is what i have tried so far. I remember when switching from whatever ??? was previously on my Viper to the EBC Red's noticing what felt like less braking power. Then again i guess the bottom line is that i was still able to readily lock up the wheels when doing performance...
96-97 had a diff intake manifold gasket than the later years. Sometime in late 97 they switched to the updated unit. The old ones could potentially develop a leak earlier than usual and can be easily identified by seeing the waviness between the runners.
Checking the price the gaskets are...
Bite just describes the initial feeling of the pad contacting the rotor. Dosnt describe the overall performance of a pad...
Bite comes more into play when talking about track pads.
EBC Red is a "performance" street pad just like the stock Brembo Pads & the Hawk HPS. I have heard the the...
