The new guy

[NMviperguy]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself. Names Jesse. Just bought a 2004. Pretty excited to finally have the car that was on my wall as a kid! Here are a few pictures of my new ride. Hope to fit in well with all you veteran viper owners!!

Awesome. I am here in New Mexico... We only had one SRT for sale here and it was a beautiful red, but I have always wanted black. Flew out to Wisconsin to pick her up and drive back. A great adventure for a great car! I still just stare at it... When does that go away??

I flew out to Utah from DFW to pick my car up and drive it home. Had a blast. There was a massive car show in Moab that I just happened to drive through and what a bonus that was. I quit staring at mine after a few years...but I think about getting her a sister.

Welcome and enjoy the ride.

I've had mine for 8 years now, and still don't get tired of staring at it.

..................only thing that ***** is when there's bugs on the front of it



150mph+ bugs look different than 65 mph bugs.

 

[NMviperguy]

Lol. I know whatcha mean. 20 hour ride to get home and I picked up a lot of nasty bug gut hitch hikers... I also hit some sleet and heavy rain. I wasn't expecting to ever have this car touch rain but the Rockies had a different idea. I was honestly surprised how well it handled with standing water on the ground. Never again though!

Great looking car, enjoy!

So I did extensive research into these cars before purchase and found that the stereo and exhaust (2003-2006) were the Achilles heel of our cars. My car thankfully came with 2 aftermarket amps head unit and all speakers. All pioneer, which I'm not a huge fan of, would have preferred kicker myself but they are already there... Someone thought it was a good idea to put a speaker in the sub location which made some horrible distortion, I easily remmedied this with my first mod, switching to a JL audio 6w3v34. With a couple of speaker extensions and foam from an old camaro seat I had laying around. Now it sounds and looks great! Which leads me to my next mod... The exhaust... Since I haven't had a chance to experience the "heat" yet, I'd rather get ahead of it now (here in Albuquerque 90s and 100s are very common in the summer). I've heard that 4th gen's stock exhaust didn't have this problem since they didn't have the cross over underneath. Anyone out there have a good stock set they are getting rid of for a reasonable price??

IT DOES'NT GO AWAY!

I've had a Viper since '05 (black vert) then a new one in '08 (still have it). I still love looking at it everyday in my garage and it's still a thrill every time I push the start button.

Congrats on your new viper. Its not only the crossover, you should also get 3inch highflow cats if the exhaust is stock .

 

[NMviperguy]

Good to know. Does gutting the cats help or do absolutely nothing?

 

[NMviperguy]

Hey guys. The bolt on bug is starting to bite. I was looking at intake kits, only see one made by k&n, but I also see stock replacement air filters from a "green" air filter company? They state that the stock setup is just fine... Is it worth it to get the whole setup or do you get just as much of a benefit with replacing the air filters? $100 less for the same result is always tempting...

Thanks man. You wanna build a fort?

 

[NMviperguy]

Hey guys. I'm still on the hunt for air filters. Found these on roe racings sites. Any thoughts? Best priced I've seen yet.
