    Two DIY freebies :)

    I made it myself and used some parts from the original connector. If you don't want to cut and weld, there are similar ones available to buy as well. They come in various sizes between 1" to 2". There are quite a few threads on this if you do a search and I have yet to find somebody who doesn't...

    RT10 Windshield Frame Pin hole covers

    Nothing fancy. A plastic retainer clip used for hood liners (had some laying around) .....then some layers of electrical tape. Then a piece of corrugated hose, and finished off with heatshrink tubing - super glue under each layer to make sure it stays together. :D I'm sure it works the same if...

    Two DIY freebies :)

    Had a bit of time to tackle two little projects. And best of all, they're free :nana: Both have been done before, so I'm not posting anything new, but just wanted to share how they turned out. First was painting the hood liner. Soaks up the paint like a sponge, so it took quite a few coats...

    There is definitely not a lot of space when cutting while still on the car, but it can be done. If you do leave it on, make sure you put something behind and above the pipe to prevent accidentally cutting into the frame/body....

    RT10 Windshield Frame Pin hole covers

    This has probably been done before, but for those who don't like the open pin holes used for the hard/soft top, I used some plastic retainers (a bit modified to make them fit snuggly) to cover them up. They just pop in and make it look much neater. Just in time for the nice spring...

    How many SRT-10 TA clones will we see now(GTS guys)?

    Now you're comparing apples with oranges :D PS: To avoid confusion, the new Gen V is called either the SRT Viper or GTS. The SRT-10 was Gen3 and Gen4.

    SRT retakes Laguna Seca record with 2014 SRT Viper TA!!!

    With a power difference of 200 bhp, very unlikely..... comparison is still oranges and apples :)

    Show me your rear end !

    No drone on my setup with high flow cats, but then your setup is different to mine - just a small resonator after the cats, but that would be way too loud for Germany. Maybe check if the Exhaust is touching any part of the body or frame...Did you need to take it through TÜV to get the setup...

    Show me your rear end !

    How's the sound of your new setup? Scare any neighbours yet :) Now go and show some GTI's who's the boss :lmao:

    1996 B&W GTS seen by Newbie !!!! What do you guys think????

    Smooth tubes for the intake and if you want to keep the heat down on those side sills, high flow cats make the biggest difference.

    Did you finish installing your high flow cats as well?

    Wet Vipers!

    Proof yet again that Vipers don't melt in the rain :drive: Thanks for sharing the pics....

    Yeah, give it a try :2tu: If you like the sound, keep it, if not, you've got lots of other options. Just so you know, the stock cats are welded onto the front, so you'll have to weld them back on if you want to go back to stock. Or are you changing out the entire front section up to the exhaust...

    It's called "Drive Clean" in Ontario. No idea if they're considering ending that program or not. Probably best to wait before deleting those cats. Don't forget, it will stink without them, and you might get an error code from the rear O2 sensors...

    Aircare is managed by ICBC, so I'm not sure if other provinces in Canada are also phasing it out. And even here in BC, we only have it in Greater Vancouver, and nowhere else. I would get 3" high flow cats, and a 2.5"-3" coupler to the headers. Might as well get the same diameter as your...

    Possible New Owner needs a little help

    Don't forget to post some pics when you drive it home...we all want to see that big smile on your face :)

    Side exit exhaust options please.

    Subjectivelly, it's going to be much louder with the side exhaust, since you'll have the tips right next to your ear, so cats are probably a good idea. Are you planning on putting a diffuser in the rear to fill the gap?

    GTS Hood price?

    Base model hood looks a lot more aggressive, so you might find a willing GenV owner to swap with theirs. Personally I don't understand why they made the GTS's hood less intimidating than the base one, but I guess it's personal taste.

    Viper Sole Survivor Premieres on SPEED March 15

    Looking forward to that. That GTS-R just looks insane. Wonder why they don't offer that colour combination for the production GenV...

    I've got the snake insured for the entire year as it is. I take it out when the weather is decent. I'm of the opinion that you might as well enjoy the car when you have it:2tu: Collector plates would be nice, but I take the Viper to work sometimes, and that's not permitted. I've got it insured...

    When I did Aircare last year, the guy there asked about the cats as well, but when I told him they're under the sill he took my word for it. I guess this can be a problem for some more picky inspectors - I'm glad that AirCare will be discontinued by the end of 2014. What a money grabber for...

    I heard about the snow in Europe....that sucks, but in March I'm sure that by the weekend you'll be enjoying the Viper under the sun again :) We're pretty lucky with snow here in Vancouver....for the past 3 years there was virtually nothing.

    No codes....I still have the O2 sensors in place and no problems whatsoever. Are you planning on going the same route as my setup? Just so you know, the exhaust has a very brutal sound to it and certainly is a LOT louder than before - with German laws, you might get some problems just because of...

    Track testing for Motor Trend again. Kinda secret. All the new Vipers. Rock on.

    Well, not everyone is saying the genV is terrible. I think it's fantastic, and I could really care less if it's .53 seconds off the ZR1's pace. Even in older tests, the Viper was often beaten by the Z06...so what...
