Hey guys.

I'm really set on doing a sidepipe conversion to my B/W GTS, after checking many of your opinions on the matter. The problem now is, I can't find any Gen 1 sidesills for sale anywhere... I've tried ebay, viper classifieds, etc...

Can someone point me in the right direction, or maybe refer me to someone willing to sell or trade for mine? I don't think I want to do the Autoform fiberglass, its OEM or nothing I guess...

Appreciate any help:)

Jon/AZ

$3700+ for one side sill is ridiculous. Anybody want to elaborate on why they are so expensive? Geez, to do both sides, with painting you are looking at $8000+.

Maybe I'll just do the autoform ones for $1200 set..
With Corsa track exhaust, looks like about a $2500 mod

a lot of the cost is Mopar genuine parts!! the other is that they are all aluminum(cast i think). i would buy the Autoform parts for what you are going to do and would def. look at classifieds and site sponsors.

Curious why you want to go to sidepipes. You'll be forced to cram a lot of stuff under the relatively short sidesill length. Often not really leaving room for adequate silencing.

In my experience, the routing of the exhaust thru the sidesills and out the back offers more advantages to Viper owners than disadvantages..

I have a set of Gen II with 4" sidepipes cut into them. I would be willing to trade for a stock set or sell them.

I would try Paul Scharf as well. Probably one of the best places to get used viper parts.

Phone Number is 800-338-4002.

I guess its mainly for the looks, I just have the taste for them I guess. This car never looked right to me with the two pipes tucked uner the back, maybe too European or something. Something about sidepipes is so American, so "in your face"..

On the other hand, I can understand people's aversion to the sound/drone, it does get to you after awhile, I've had several loud cars. Thankfully, I don't drive this thing enough for it to wear me out, and on track days I'll have a helmet on anyway;)

Side sills are nice and pretty cool looking as well but I sure haven't missed them since upgrading to my GTS. Sure, I have some drone which you can control by short shifting but man, those side pipes sure get loud!
