    Need input for hi flo cats

    High flow cats have a coarser mesh substrate that results in higher exhaust gas flow. Another result of this is that it does a poorer job of converting pollutant's into other gases, a lower percentage. Since they convert less, they generate less heat. They're just a way of keeping a check...

    Just acquired my first viper

    Congratulations on your purchase. A couple things I'd do immediately are check to see if you have the infamous "birdcage" retaining clip on the clutch linkage and eliminate the trans skip shift.

    Major Oil Leak Help

    That one was a small block Chrysler that has the relief valve built into the oil pump. I just replaced the pump.

    Major Oil Leak Help

    I've had a vehicle in the past (not a Viper) that had a sticking oil pressure relief valve. It would occasionally peg the pressure a gauge and blow out the oil filter gasket. You might want to keep an eye on that gauge for a while.

    Suspension bushings

    Yes, I have them in my 2003 rear, I'm planning on putting them in the front as well. Also, I used polyurethane bushing made for late 80s Chevy truck leaf springs as rear lower shock bushings. These required some washers one both sides to keep it centered. My bushings where shot, metal on metal.

    Need input for hi flo cats

    If you only have one cat (per side) and both O2's are upstream of it, removing that cat won't change your engine controllers' ability to detect a missing or non-functioning cat and throw a code. It will be the same as it is now. Tune wise, it could have a slight affect at WOT because of a less...

    Need input for hi flo cats

    I've removed cats from many vehicles, most non-Viper, all resulted in significantly louder exhaust.

    Need input for hi flo cats

    I'm no expert with cats, but I would think a Air/fuel issue might be the cause.

    Jacking up 2006 viper safely

    Just thought I'd mention that the rear access hole, through the belly pan, used for jacking is not there on earlier Vipers. Not present on my '03, don't know when they added it. I've thought about cutting one in mine.

    Gen 5 intake manifold on Gen 4 Questions?

    Gen 3 REVERSE LOCKOUT HELP!!!!

    Unplug both the PCM and the solenoid. Set you meter to ohms, measure between the wire and chassis ground, should be infinite.

    Gen 3 REVERSE LOCKOUT HELP!!!!

    From the service manual: When vehicle speed is less than 3 mph, the PCM provides a ground for the solenoid (energized) and allows shifting. When vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph, the solenoid is deactivated and prevents the transmission from being shifted into reverse.

    You could temporarily remove the solenoid to see if the problem persists.

    Suspension bushings

    I installed Energy Suspension poly bushings 5.3125G without removing the control arms in my Gen3. I just used the old school "through bolt" method with some spacers to pull them out.
