Default Re: A Note on Belanger Headers & 2008 Vipers

The 08 Venom engine controller is extremely sensitive, just testing a vehicle
on our dyno without the air filter put the car in limp-in and turned on the check engine light.

In regards to the Belanger headers on 08's. I have yet to have an CEL issue. With the cats and 02's in the right place, they work great. These headers will not pass a visual inspection in California (sold as off road use, competition only) but will pass tailpipe emissions.

DC and good dealers understand that Viper customers want to upgrade and personalize their cars. It is important that you understand how this affects your warranty. Technically, if the aftermarket part is not responsible for the problem it should be covered.

The new model has ample power. An air filter change and side exhaust change will give you the tone you want and a little more punch, plus it will pass California emissions. There are some other areas where your money may be well spent; Driving school, safety equipment, brake and suspension upgrades, driveline modifications to improve traction and handling, etc.
