Thanks for sharing. My 05 had chrome tips and had a great sound and I just assumed it had corsa or borla cat backs. When I got the 08, I knew I wanted exhaust and so decided to do H/F cats too, but which way to go? metal n 2.5, metal n 3.0, ceramic n 2.5, or ceramic n 3.0. Kinda wish I had...
Jon B spelled out the options, but nobody ever talks about what they did specifically: ceramic or metal on the cats; 2.5 or 3.0 on the Corsa, and how it turned out, or why they made the choice they did.:dunno:
After so much consultation with JonB that I thought I would drive him nuts, I went with R/T Metal high flow cats and Corsa catback on my 08, and stayed 2.5 inches to help with drone and maintain low end torque. No smell, screams at WOT. I acatually wish it was a little louder and I am 49...
As all of us that love this car sit back and wait for the Gen 5, and all the changes it brings, I began to reflect on what brought me to vipers in the first place. I have always loved anything that had a motor, but while I appreciated the Gen 1s and 2s, I really didn't get the bug until I saw...
I totally agree with what Frog said. At the suggestion of DP Viper, I did my 05, and later my 08. Really just makes the car better. Shifting is more where the seat of your pants tells you it should be, and, you can actually use 5th and 6th. Nevermind the additional kick in the pants when you...
I live here in Indiana and you would be exponentially better of in her Toyota than you would have been if you had chosen to bring the viper. MAN UP, Clark W Lundqvist! Load up the Toyota truckster and head west! If you don't have a cousin Eddie living somewhere on the way, and you have...
I've said it before on this forum, I've had 2 vipers, and nothing I did to either one of them was as dramatic as the chromed wheels and inserts with the red accents. John B talked me into them and sold them to me. LOVE the chrome!!! Easier to clean and wow...the compliments.
John, I don't know if you picked it up in my earlier post, but now having seen the wheels on the car, you should definetely check out the red inlayed center caps. They complete the effect for sure.
John, They look fantastic! I got my Cal Chrome H-spokes via JonB. Did you know that not only can you get the center caps chromed, but you can get the inlay painted red also. Favorite mod done to my car.
Just a street guy, and did not want to throw codes after doing corsa w/ R/T metal HF cats, so I put one on. Very impressed with the performance, but the d**n thing works so well that it totally removed the decel pop and crack. If you are one of the serious track guys, you will be laughing...
You and DP... must be compensating for small ... shoes. I hope all the SSG guys are not so unappreciative of other great colors. Don't make me reel out my SSG barbs.:D
I was told that a few went to Japan. With only 38 out there, it would be interesting to track them down. I have also been told that one of the 11 verts has been totaled.
Compensating for a little "color envy"? At least you didn't have to go any farther than your own closet to have a little fun. DP, while you do probably have the legs to pull it off, they might clash when climbing in the green car!
