Bypass exhaust screamer valves

[tzortzViper]

I was thinking lately for experimenting a little around on the exhaust system of my Gen4 SRT.

I got an idea on this vid on youtube
YouTube - Dodge Viper SRT 10 exhaust sound (MUST hear!!!)



I could see on that video that that bypass system would not free the resonators and the catalytic converters.

What came up is to use some cheap wastegates off Ebay (for around $100 each) with 2-1/2" openning, and place them somewhere before the cats.
Apart from the noise, I suppose that will make some power improvement in combination with the Mopar PCM.


Here is the wastegate.

Here is the elbow pipe that I had to weld and cut an etension for reaching the correct length.

Here is also how it is planned to be welded

Another picture also of the planning with the wastegate.

As about the control of the wastegate valve, I am thinking of stealing some vacuum off the power brake booster tank and make the management when in WOT and at some certain RPMs.

I will keep updated for anything new that will come up.

I am open to comments and any advices.

Why don't you just buy premade exhaust cut outs rather than reinventing the wheel?

Not sure if I would cut my cat up, those things are not cheap. Where are you going to run the hot
exhaust? Out the bottom right by the foot well?

Damn Sal! Been drinking a little? lol

 

[TowDawg]

Honestly, I think mine sounds better and louder than the one in the video.

Pain pills not alcohol. Plus i've been hanging with Tweester!!!!

 

[Black Moon]

Fixed it for you. That's what I get for spilling Mt Dew on keyboard (again)!!!!!

 

[VIPER PIT]

I think it would be cool to see flames coming out the side pipes at WOT

 

[Black Moon]

That ain't gonna happen under normal circumstances. If it does you had better check your tune because it's running way too rich.

one of the most ******** things ive seen on this site.

throw in the tornado air filter thingy and you have quite the ricer. if this was the alley, id have a few more ideas and bits of advice for ya......

I've heard what a stock Viper sounds like without any exhaust attached at the headers which is basically what you are doing and it sounds like crap. Not to mention it is deafeningly loud. You wont last 5 mins driving around like that. The first time you hit the gas your ear drums will blow out and everyone within a 10 mile radius will think a tractor just exploded.

 

[TowDawg]

I actually thought it sounded pretty damn mean when I cranked it up with open headers. WAY too loud though (and I like loud). You would be deaf and pulled over every time you passed a cop for noise pollution.

here is the best sounding SRT in my opinion.

Looks like it's going to be a long winter

probably sounds different because your bypass valves have a smaller id than a 2.5" cutout

Those electric cutouts I have read that they do not last working for a long time, because the heat easily melts the insulation within the motor that makes the movement of the butterfly.


Secondly, they are quite slow to open and close instantly.


And last, the butterfly cutout compared to the wastegate valves, does not close completely, and especially after extended use.

Right, inlet is 2.5" but the outlet is 1-3/4".

Also, the exhausts gases will go out down exactly under the cats. There is a big openning.

Those cats are out of a wrecked Gen3, so if I dont like it I can change it back easily.

Can you please be specific, why you call it "********"?

no, thats all you get.

Better dont post if you cannot support it.

I shouldn't need to. i think its obvious.

It is obvious to a smart-guy like you. Please explain to us, the "********".

nope...........

 

[eucharistos]

fine banter

 

[ILLSMOQ]

this is one of those scenarios where "less is more"

fine banter

 

[tzortzViper]

I am just too curious to see what hp increase can be achieved, in combination with the Mopar PCM, with such a mod.

I could not find anywhere any dyno results of before and after cat-resonator-exhaust removal.

Maybe because nobody could stay in the dynoshop with such a noisiness!?

Thanks Phil. After I passed Gary who was filming I had to come off the throttle quickly at the end of the video. I had some bird watchers running out of the woods flapping their arms and screaming that I made some red swallow birdies fly away

1. You cant cut that cat there. Try and and you will see why, lol

2. You wont gain a thing.

3. How are you planning on opening that wastegate? Wastegates require HIGH exhaust back pressures to open them, something you don't have. You also have zero manifold vacuum at WOT to use to pull it open.
