Viper Headers
The production exhaust manifolds on a Viper are considered to be a performance restriction, particularly for a large displacement V10 engine that requires more exhaust flow capability.
The installation of exhaust tube headers can provide a significant increase in exhaust air flow and improve engine efficiency. The key ingredient for superior performance in a Viper Header is the shape of the collector, where five exhaust tubes merge into the collector pipe. A race header style 5 into 1 merge collector, with a gradual transition, significantly improves exhaust flow by allowing the exhaust gas to maintain velocity. Sustaining a high exhaust velocity is the key to allowing the exhaust system to create efficiency and thereby produce more power.
Since the Viper engine has 5 cylinders that discharge exhaust from each side of the engine, there is even greater potential to benefit from more advanced header technologically, such as the super-tuned long tube Tri-Y headers produced by Belanger. The benefits of the Tri-Y headers are that it provides a better transition of exhaust flow from the primary header tubes to the dual exhaust system, by directing the exhaust flow into 3 merge collectors, known as the Tri-Y. The gradual and efficient exhaust flow provided by the 3 merge collectors of the Tri-Y header maintains high exhaust velocity and produces superior performance for the V10 Viper engine.
The Belanger Tri-Y headers have proven to deliver 50+ horsepower gains with the installation of a complete Belanger Viper exhaust system.
The Belanger Viper headers are technologically advanced and proven to deliver great performance. The super-tuned long tube, Tri-Y headers are mandrel bent with 1 3/4 inch primary tubes and 3 inch collectors. High temperature ceramic metallic coated inside and out and nickel chrome finished.
These headers are also OBD2 Compliant, which means that the headers are also designed to function properly with the Viper‘s computer so that the check-engine light does not activate after the headers are installed.
Viper High Performance Exhaust
The production exhaust system for a Viper is also considered to be restrictive for a large displacement V10 engine. The installation of a high-flow exhaust system with larger diameter exhaust pipes and low restriction mufflers will improve the Viper engine’s breathing capabilities and significantly increase power and performance. High flow Catalytic converters also help to flow more exhaust and produce more power.
Applications:
Generation 1 / 1992-1996 RT/10
Generation 2 / 1997-2002 RT/10 & GTS
Generation 3 / 2003-2005 SRT 10
