curious about 08 viper exhaust system

[eagles]

I know the crossover is eliminated so I wonder if anyone may have heard the 08 running--what does it sound like? who makes it? is it comparable to corsa or ? at idle or full song?

Hello Eagles,
I can't speak for the production 08 but 2008 Concept Coupe has the sweetest sound of any Viper that I have heard. I have a Video Clip of the car coming off of the stage at the Palo Alto Concours that I might be able to post. Sound is subjective,what some like other hate. But, to me, the sound is deeper, like the Borla without being harsh or too loud....it has a mellow but full sound. In fact that was one of most noticable features of the car, it has to be the best sounding Viper that I have ever heard..

[Finally got it !]

If you have the latest edition of Viper mag there is a article about the engne. Alot more went into getting the sound right than just the exhaust!

Didnt the concept Viper have the "Mopar " exhaust on it and also headers??. Which is considered a aftermarket part,
So that would be different then what the 08 will come with.

The Mopar Concept Coupe came with "Mopar" headers that were supplied by Belanger.

Here is the show information. It is not very detailed.

I'm worried about only hearing 5 cylinder per side. I understand you'll hear all 10 inside but, from the outside it will sound like the Gen II RT/10. Personally I prefer hearing all 10 cylinder firing like on the Gen III SRT with it’s crossover.

Whatever it is I'm sure I'll love it or learn to love it. I'm a Viper addict and I'm not in recovering

Here's a clip of the 2008 Viper:

Good point. remember the new variable ratio camshaft will have a ton of influence on the exhaust note, therefor it will be hard to duplicate in a Gen 3.

All the info I heard the Corsa Exhaust for the Gen III will fit the 08 viper.

rcl4688, thanks for the clip. It sure doesn't sound like a 5 cylinder in that clip. I like the throatiness.
