\'99 GTS emblems and exhaust leak

Just bought a black '99 GTS and I notice in the garage what sounds like a small exhaust leak. Any experienced Viper guys out there have a suspision. Would like to take care of it on my own, NO WARRANTEE. Also, the Viper GTS emblems where all removed by the previous owner. I have rubbed the car out and it looks very good. I would like to put the OEM emblems back exactly where they go. Anyone out there have detailed photos of there placement? Is there an engineering drawing that I could buy to place them in the correct spots?

Thanks.
Dave

Re: \'99 GTS emblems and exhaust leak

where more specifically does the leak sound like its coming from?

as far as the emblems go, when i replaced mine i think Tator told me 6 inches from the bottom of the hood (where it meets the side sill), centered.

Exhaust leak sound ?!
It is maybe a borla exhaust that you got.
And if it is really leaking it is time to upgrade your exhaust.
Anyhow it should be easy to fix compared to ignition tuning.

Don't worry about "stock" features.
My emblems were burned by an exhaust fire.

A good Viper doesn't look too much stock.

There is an exact description of where the emblems are supposed to be placed in the service manual. I don't have mine nearby, but maybe someone else from this forum can look up the numbers.

Re: \'99 GTS emblems and exhaust leak

The leaks sound up front, kinda like what I would call the donut, head pipe manifold area. As far as the emblems go if anyone has the manul, I would be greatly appreciative. I think I put chromes ones on!, Maybe side pipes too
Thanks you all

By the way what is the recommended replacement, BORLA? some other company claims to have a quieter one. What experiences have you had. Honestly the stock one sounds like a Karmen Ghia to me! A factory looking sidepipe would be very cool

The best: just straight 3'' pipes !
