Did I screw up?

[unclgreggy]

I just installed the following on my SRT: K&N filters, belanger headers and exhaust (no crossover), and 3:55 Gears.

I saw some post about the B&B yielding consistently more horsepower. Is this accurate?? Should I have gotten the B&B????

ALSO, the noise level or drone is just unbearable. Anyone put the crossover back in after installing this system? Is the heat bad again???? Is the B&B quieter??

UG, based on my own limited experience:

(1) The package below in my signature and K&N yielded 460 RWHP and 490 RWTQ (I didn't do the "before" dyno, so I don't know what I really gained), and all of the well-informed folks around me and on this board seem to think SRT-10's don't really gain much from bolt-on mods;
(2) Only exhaust without the drone is Corsa (w/ or w/o crossover); and
(3) The source of the heat (at least by your feet) is from the stock cats; you need to replace the four cats with two high-flows or delete them all together.

hey ug

You left tators b/f I had a chance to let you hear my exhaust on my old silver srt. Let me tell you its the best 300 bucks that I spent with no drone. I already did the mamba and it even shoots flames. omg

anyways I am going in for the btr nos install this weekend and before and after dyno #'s

pm me and we can meet up to hear each others exhaust's in west/ putnam

I do have the High flow cats. I got rid of the four cats. Heat NOT a problem now, but I'm wondering if I add the crossover will the heat come back a little, a lot, or in the middle.

Also wanted to know if I made a "mistake" by choosing the belanger over the B&B. Are the gains with the B&B that much more??? Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, and has anyone had the belanger WITHOUT the crossover and then INSTALLED the crossover later? Does it quiet the car down???

 

[unclgreggy]

VD, did you use 3" piping or something else??

 

[RavenFan_94]

VD, what did you do specifically to your exhaust on the Silver SRT?

same as the pics here

this is my new mamba. I saved the big bucks for the btr nos/propane setup thats going in this sat, and a vec 2 as well. I have heard different header/ exhaust setups and am not impressed at all.(hp gains only) I can't see spending $5,000 for the new step header and exhaust setup to m a y b e gain 50 rwhp when you probally do that with just a vec2 for $998 and make the car sound the same or close to it for an extra $300 in mufflers and cat sims. I will get a 200rwhp gain with nos/propane and still have $1500 left over and go mid 10's on street tires.

But thats just me and in no way am I taking anything away from guys who put these on their cars its just that I like to see big gains for big bucks.

If the install goes smooth I will post pics, vids and dyno sheets soon

You can tune your viper to the max with proper air/fuel ratios it can net you anywhere from 20-75 rwhp.

my nos install should be done by sat hopefully

They just spent $40k on a dyno and I can tell you that they do what they say they will do. They had the biggest display of vos cars at the dutchess stadium show, bigger than any tuner there. I trust them with my 100k viper. Its almost done. I will start a tread next week with pics, Its going to be insane. RED Powercoating polishing gauge pods in carbon fiber, nos, propane, exhaust, vec2 (1st one ever in a srt viper) and ???????????


I will be hunting that svt guy that talks smack.

what happened btw you and them?

[Andrew2KRT10]

Viper D: Don't know, might have met you at Tators. I was there, left around 1:00. I live over by Hudson Valley Hospital; Cortlandt Manor.

You didn't go to the New England car show a couple of weeks ago, did you?

I got a chance to drive this car this past thursday night and I simply have to say that Greg you are a ***** !!! The car is gorgeous, and sounds awesome!! Not loud @ all, not even close to being loud even cruising ~ 1500-2500rpms. *** are you smoking Greg, cause it's good $hit and you need to pass it this way lol One thing I did notice, it was toooooooo slow for me, I wonder why Anoyone looking to buy one of the sweetest SRt10s you need to check out this car!!

Must admit, I drove it today and for some reason it does not seem nearly as loud as it did. I remember seeing something about the car quieting down after a few hundred miles - never believed that could happen but it seems as though it's true. F-you Mike!!!!!!!!
