I can say I really dislike how loud my exhaust is.

New windshield. I smashed the original by accident when I was torquing down a head stud during the last head job I did... damn wrench came off and my entire body weight was on it at the time. right into the windshield... *SMASH* . I hated that mod.

least HP gain and you cant even see them.

even the smoothies look good with not much in the gain department but no one sees the filters.

Filters. I have gone back to using stock paper filters. The others flow better but they let more dirt pass. My oil anaylisis showed this. I don't think the extra hp on the street is worth it.

"I don't think the extra hp on the street is worth it."

Pleased to meet you cgmaster. Your logical reasoning in this case is refreshing.

Too bad, the others will stone you to death.

Braided brake lines. Wasn't worth the $$ going out of the way to do it; only if your old lines were really old or the sheath was drying out, or you thought the "protection" on the track was important. Same with the swap to the Gen 2 brake booster. Too small a step to notice the performance.

I'm not sure how much I like my 3.55 rear gear in my gen 1. I thought it might make the 94 I have feel more like the 01. The 01 still feels much better when you smash the pedal down.

However,

The Roe side exhaust on the gen 1 is MUCH MORE fun than the very quiet, stock, 01 rt.

3.55 gears. They were waste of money. I took them out and sold them.

I haven't found one yet. The viper is an awesome car, anything I do to my viper is worth it.

WITHOUT A DOUBT my side exhaust conversion on my Gen II GTS. I hated my car after that mod. With the exhaust being literally 2 1/2 feet from ear 100% of the time, it was horrible. Unlike my previous GenI, the GenII was just unbearable.

What do you think made it different from the GEN 1? There is a goofball here in Va Beach who wants to do the conversion on his 97 GTS....I'll make sure he sees your posts about this.

Note to self: Keep all torque wrenches and windsheilds away from Joe. Individually, they are likely OK....but put the three together and we have trouble!
