New Gen III Owner!

[awes3939]

Hello all,

After 3 corvettes ('02 Z06, Mallett Hammer '02 Z06, '08 Z06), I finally made my way up to a Viper.
It's a 2006 coupe with a Paxton blower, Niche wheels, Corsa exhaust, KW coilovers, and a nice sound system.
I just need to do something about this cabin heat! I think Roe HFCs will help, how about that Koolmat system? I sweat way too much, lol.

Look forward to learning more and being in the community!

Eric

Welcome to the forum! Viper looks great! Any mod plans besides what's on it already?

Thank you! I'm looking into doing HFC's and (possibly) headers. I like the Roe HFCs from what I've read. Just want to eliminate heat! And sound cool.
Was also looking into doing an APR front splitter and maybe some carbon canards up front like the ACR. Would love to do a fat rear diffuser with more fins too....and a Gen IV hood (which seem to be hard to find).

That's what I've heard vs the Gen IV! Couldn't be happier

Very nice!!!!!!

Thank you sir!

Welcome! Congratulations! Nice Viper!

i went with cat deletes and my car was day and night with cabin heat issues... i assume high flow cats would be almost the same..

Double check to be sure you aren't just running the factory H-pipe exhaust. I have cat back Corsas, the car cooled down significantly after they were installed and the H-pipe was removed.

Very Nice. Congrats!

Yes, I think HFCs are next in line. It's ridiculously hot inside!

I have the cat-back Corsa as well. I think it's the cats that are jamming up with so much heat (probably since SC too)

Very Nice. Congrats!

Thanks man!

Sometimes we just got to live with the cabin heat but don't forget your driving one of the best looking cars on the road !!!!

Beautiful car. I had no idea they look that good clean, guess better wash mine...lol. What can you tell me about the rear spoiler? It looks very clean and subtly accentuates the cars curves.

Thank you sir! Check out Autoform. They do tons of aero stuff for Vipers and have been around for quite some time (I think they were even around for the original development of the Viper if I'm not mistaken) this is the SRT10 Coupe Track Attack spoiler. It adds a lot to the rear end of the car. Check it out.

Thats a great looking car red with the black top looks awesome, There is nothing better for the car than removing the cats, once there gone car runs cool as a cucumber , but I under stand not everyone can do that, every state is different, so from what I hear HFC are better than the stock cats with the heat they throw off , also if you remove the cats you have to make some other mods so it will not set a check engine light, for most the easy way is swap out the cats to HFC.

Congrats and welcome to the club! I remember seeing this car on eBay when I was looking for a Paxton GEN3 myself. I ended up with the one in the picture. Love the red and black roof on yours.

Gorgeous car! Love the AUTOFORM rear lip. I'm considering that and his front lower splitter... Enjoy that gas pedal!
