    SRT Coupes: What is your stereo setup?

    Does it have RCA outs on the back?

    Catch cans-are they emissions legal in California?

    It wouldn't matter if it was hard to spot the can itself or not...the hoses leading to it and away from it would be a dead give away.

    Catch cans-are they emissions legal in California?

    The issue is that the nasty stuff a catch can collects is meant to be burned off in the combustion cycle, not trapped and collected to later be dumped. But that's assuming the people running the checks knew how a PCV system was supposed to work, and what a catch can was. Or for that...

    Catch cans-are they emissions legal in California?

    If they knew what they were looking at, yes you would need to remove it. Unless you can cough up a CARB certification for it.

    Catch can plumbing

    I'd think it'd still have a check valve in there somewhere...otherwise, it'd end up pulling too much vacuum at idle.

    Catch can plumbing

    The t-fitting vs. individual hoses shouldn't make a difference. Do you still have the PCV check valve in place? If I'm not mistaken, that needs to be removed when running it like you are. As for the non-vented can, you won't get 100% of the oil out of the crankcase vapors running it this...

    Catch can plumbing

    What type of can? If you are running a vented can with a breather filter on top, you can connect both valve covers to the catch can, and you'd plug both the vacuum source and the fresh air make up line that comes from the air box. If you are running a non-vented can, you will run one valve...

    red arrow shifting ?

    It raises it 100 RPMs from 6,400 to 6,500 RPMs.

    SRT Coupes: What is your stereo setup?

    The stuff I used is listed in my signature...the speakers came with the car when I bought it. They were being powered by a pair of small Treo amps...I ditched those in favor of the single Kenwood amp that fits under the passenger seat where the stock one used to reside (it's a tight fit). It...

    any one tried this lubricant for Gen IV transmission ?!

    Looking at the data sheet available online, it doesn't appear to meet the correct Chrysler ATF+4 spec, so I'd say that is a no-go (their ATF does meet the Chrysler spec, and is what I'm running in my TR-6060 at the moment).

    Need some emergency emergency brake help

    Reading about it on here prompted me to look at the inner pads on both sides...seeing how much they were worn compared to the outers prompted me to change them.

    SRT: Please Pay Attention

    The only person arguing here seems to be you...I fully understand why Viper aftermarket tuning offerings are slim and none, and I would also agree that very few Gen II/III owners want/need such a product. But they at least have that option, whereas Gen IV and V guys do not. That's the heart of...

    SRT: Please Pay Attention

    What exactly is there to turn around here? What you stated is the basic reason why tuning doesn't exist for Gen IV (and now V) cars...there aren't enough of them to recoup the R&D costs associated with cracking the rolling encryption. Part of it is SRT's fault for making it so difficult to...

    SRT: Please Pay Attention

    You are missing the point entirely...adding more HP from the factory while keeping the PCM locked/encrypted isn't going to scratch the itch that people are complaining about in this thread. It is the fact that you can't easily add more power (we're talking a supercharger or turbo(s) here, not...

    Need some emergency emergency brake help

    I was at 11k miles when I replaced them last year...the pads still had some life left, but the inners were worn way more than the outers. I could have swapped inner/outer, but I just replaced all four. I should have just replaced the inners only. I did keep the old pads, so I'll just pack...

    Gen 4 (2008)Brake/Clutch flush

    Yes, suck the old fluid out of the reservoir and refill before bleeding. As for doing anything with the ABS, there's nothing you can do without the appropriate scan tool, so just bleed the brakes like you normally would on a non-ABS car. Many will say that you need to cycle the ABS module to...

    Gen V mules - Gen IV cars with Gen V body panels

    There is no way in hell it is even close. Not close enough that you could just buy all the panels and do it in a weekend at least.

    Gen V mules - Gen IV cars with Gen V body panels

    Bingo. If you think you can buy Gen V body panels, pull off your Gen III/IV panels and just bolt the new stuff up, you are in for a long day. The chances of all frame to body mounting points either being there or even being close to the right spot to accept the new stuff is slim...I'd even...

    red arrow shifting ?

    I don't do it every time I drive it (not many places around here to do it safely), but I'd have no qualms about it...if the engine wasn't designed to handle it, they wouldn't have included it as a feature.

    Gen 4 intake manifold removal

    I pieced my own together based on an RX Performance catch can...I made a custom bracket for it, and also did my own plumbing to it. I can't say for sure how well it is working since I've only been running it since this spring, but it should help at least some. There are a couple schools of...

    SRT: Please Pay Attention

    All they have to do is what GM has done: make it so that any changes made to the PCM are logged. If the dealer didn't do it, then poof! No more warranty for the engine, or anything else that was damaged by it. Those that are willing to take the risk of voiding the warranty can do so, and...

    Let's try this one again...anyone make cruise control for Gen IV Viper?

    Nope, but SRT has a simple answer: buy a Gen V. So no cruise control for this guy.

    Transmission difference between 2008 and 2013?

    My initial reaction is to say repair, but seeing that you are in Sweden, I'm not sure how feasible that is. There are a few places here in the States where you can easily repair it, and add upgrades if wanted (like a taller 5th and 6th gear cluster). Regardless, unless you want to change the...
