Over the weekend I installed new exhaust on my Viper. I’ve been wanting to do it for years but I had to wait until I finished paying off the car to be able to afford it. After making the last car payment in January, I splurged and went for it.
It’s hard to capture the sound and especially how loud it is, but here’s a video that my friend made to give you an idea:
The old exhaust had 4 catalytic converters, 2 per side. I replaced them with a pair of higher flowing ones and that had 3″ pipes instead of 2.5″. They’re made by Random Technology.
I also replaced the cat-backs (mufflers) with ones from Corsa Performance.
My friend Jim was kind enough to offer both his lift and a helping hand to get it installed. Installation wasn’t too terrible but there were a pair of hard to reach bolts to remove the side sills and one of the cats was a pain to get on due to fitment issues, but overall it went fairly smoothly!
- It all fit in my trunk!
- Side sill removed with stock exahust in place
- Stock catalytic converter
- Access to the catalytic converters is easy!
- The catalytic converters bolt directly onto the stock manifolds
- New exhaust in place
- New exhaust tips (I need to go back in and adjust placement)
