Simple Performance Enhancements

[H8TOW8]

I know this is probably old news, but I installed K&N filters, smooth tubes, and a Snake Oyl exhaust today on my 2000 RT/10 and saw a VERY noticeable increase in performance and sound. Particularly low and mid range acceleration!

Great bang for the buck considering it was roughly a $650 upgrade and that doesn't seem to buy much for a Viper ...

Agreed, all I've changed is smooth tubes and exhaust on mine...well and then Nitrous. Try adding Nitrous with the mods you've made and hang on. You won't need any more mods after that!

 

[H8TOW8]

Yep. $650 includes the exhaust, and gives the Viper a MUCH better sound.

who did the work for you? or did you do it....BTW- I have a lift if you want to throw it up there and just stare for a while....

Cool man. May take you up on that later. I had a Viper Tech do it. I found a GREAT one out at Dodge of Monroe (Cam is his name, good mechanics name, huh?) and he is awesome. Charged me $76 and put on smooth tubes, filters, and exhaust and fixed/tuned up about 6 things on my car. Very friendly dude, would recommend big time.

DUDE!!! He is the best tech....he used to be a dodge of bellevue and I hate that dealership so would not go there....he does great work....I did not know that he had moved....besides...Monroe is closer for me!!! Oh I am psyched now I can get the best tech and not have to deal with that dealership....He did most of the work on Lou's GT-2 just as him about it....just an insane car! let me know when you want to use the lift...air, tools, fridge, and tunes....it is where I go hide ;-)

Where did you get hold of the snake OYL exhaust, and what does it include?

 

[H8TOW8]

I called Bill Pemberton of Woodhouse, of course. He had the best price and it was at my door 2 days after I ordered it. Sorry, don't have his number handy, but it's usually all over the board.

It includes a (roughly) 4 foot stainless steel unit with very nice clamps, so it's easy to go back to stock if wanted. Basically you just replace the rear muffler pipe unit on the stock Viper. Very nice sound!

I too did the smoothies, K&Ns, and Snake-Oyl rear exhaust set up. I found a noticeable difference in the way the car runs..and sounds. The smoothies and filters are a easy, easy job. And the Snake-Oyl system took about an hour to exchange in my garage. (Once I got the car up.)
