Exhaust Recommendations on Gen1?

[95Viper]

Does anyone have recommendations on a exhaust system from manifold back without cats but with a muffler that I could swap back and forth as desired with my factory exhaust? I want to leave the rest of the total system stock.

If I left the rest stock, would 3" be the best bet?

Gen1, side exhaust.

GenIs can make good additional HP with exhaust mods, why you reluctant to do the headers while your at it?

Find a set of Gen.2 stock headers cheap and put on some Dynomax mufflers. This works well without spending a fortune.

I agree with the Dynomax suggestion. I'm using the Ultra flows and love the sound.

I welded on a set of dynomax 3" bullets and Roe cats. I went 3" all the way and bought some 3" mandrel pipe from summit racing. Cut the original pipe at the flew pipe and welded it all together with a $400 mig welder. Picked up 15 hp.
Its very loud with the top and windows on, but its perfectly obnoxious in full convertible mode, which I prefer anyway.
Heavy drone around 1400-1600 rpm (6th gear freeway). I may go with a 2.5" system next time if I don't buy the 3" headers. My wife thinks it is too loud and I may buy a 2nd viper ('99) anyway.

cycleryan, I don't think I've seen your car around. I cruise Lake Travis and NW Austin mostly.

I just have Roe racing cat back with Borla XR-1 mufflers see RWHP below!

I have Belanger headers and 3" straight with Dynomax bullet mufflers... 11.85/120 Mph, quite good numbers för a gen1 Viper. That is ofcourse without N2O.

I have the Belanger 3" Cat Back system from Parts Rack. Ran the car like that for 6 months. At Voi7 I added the Sean Roe VEC 1 system. Big difference in sound and performance. With the Top on, windows installed. Power, at 5,000 rpm the windows vibrate violently. Possibility of headaches (very mild, in denial).
