Getting back to the origianl subject. Has anyone tried running aftermarket pipes on a Viper but used a SRX ignition? Just curious if that would work.

mopar1rules said:i believe BETHEVIPER did this and yes it works.
journeyman said:I wonder if his mileage was better?
journeyman said:Oh BTW....as for running the SRX pipes on a Viper. Is there room to run the stock silencer or do you have to run an aftermarket one?

WNYViper said:Stock one fits just fine
BETHEVIPER said:you can cut it off instead of buying one but good to just buy one as it will have the rubber bumper

mopar1rules said:Journeyman, I have had my viper piped for 4 yrs and never once have I had the temp light come on. Its also never burned down either. Runs great. The mileage isn't great tho, as I get about 8mpg now. Also, I believe the srx boxes start cutting off at 8500 and I think Viper boxes start cutting off at 8800-9000. If you want to try the srx pipe conversion, I have a set of pipes and manifolds, from a '98 700 srx, for sale.

journeyman said:Just in my obsevation I think the AAEN's you run are a bit more forgiving. Especially versus the CPR's I ran back in 2003. Yeh maybe they don't attain the larger HP numbers that CPR and even SLP do but reliability is a good thing. Are you using EGT's? Your photo looks like you may have megapower heads or SRX heads. I saw there was a set of AAEN's recently on ebay for around $400. I have run their pipes on some of my older Yamahas years ago.
You know I am thinking the Jaws I was searching for may be on the same level of performance as the AAEN's not boasting big HP but a bit more reliable.
The Jaws are way too expensive though with very little feedback out there.
mrviper700 said:after reading your post in this thread, I get the feeling youd be absolutley correct in your above quote, just keep the single pipe on it and enjoy it,better gas mpg and reliable. Pipes... wether you go yamaha srx set up with ALOT of fabrication,or aftermarket are not gonna be stock and just pull the rope and ride like your doing now.
If your not into fabricating and alot of tinkering around,tuning and having patience to see a project thru, I think your just begging for stress,and problems.
mopar1rules said:its very possible that my aaen's are more forgiving than the CPR's. i know the CPR's have more top end hp, than the AAEN's. the pic in my avatar is my bro's viper, w/SLP's and mega-power heads. that thing has been bullet proof as well. SLP's are a very user friendly pipe IMO, and make more hp than the aaen's as well, w/a nice broad power band. i would be interested as well, in running a set of jaws pipes, but like you said, they are too much $$$. i did happen to see a set of them sell on ebay 2 yrs ago, for around $232, which was a steal. probably sold soo cheap, cause of very little feedback about them on the market.
