Viper Exhaust

petrolhead · Post by **petrolhead** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 5:51 pm

Had a talk with Abel from Viper and he can do the following for me:

4-2-1 Viper branch and matching free flow system with progressive diameter stainless system (Pipe diameter: 54-50-57mm)

R3600.00

Im not expecting huge gains from this but wouldl ove to have a sweet sounding car with a performance exhaust.

Before and After dyno run to be done.

If you planning on fitting a bigger engine get a 57mm now other wise you will be wasting your money, But with Viper you cant go wrong.

Absolutely effing brilliant! Go with it as is! I would have said yes, even for R4500!

I have seen, driven and tested every combo of exhaust on the 8v you can think of lol!
If you are going this route from stock, you will have good gains too!

Personally though, I would say full 57mil from the branch... its works wonders on the 1.6i... but its noisy

As said...later if you go 2.0l bottom end (R2500 + remap + labour) you will need the full 57mil.

Much of a muchness though... you will never go wrong with Viper!!!

Smokex please always keep one thing in mind, what works at the coast dos not always work at altitude. So always give advise with such abandon and convition - yes it's brillaint works great on a 1.6 but never adds 'at the coast'. A 57 for a 1.6 here by us is not the best thing ever. Please keep that in mind.

Yes agreed, altitude and coast makes a difference...

But he has not said where he is from?

He said he chatted to Abel, so did I the other day and I am in Durbs

Abel has recommended a progressive 57mil anyway... so its pretty close... much of a muchness like I said

He spoke to Abel he says in his post. Currently Abel is at viper in jhb, hence i deducted that he must be up here. But yes i could be wrong. But you have many many times done the same thing with most of those posters being in jhb. Same whenit comes to cam threads and throttle body threads. What works in durbs does not apply to jhb. So perhaps just gt into the habit of saying it worked for you in durban but might not work at the highveld. I know you give advise very willingly and everybody appreciates your enthusiasm so please don't stop. Just qualify.

Smok3X · Post by **Smok3X** » Thu Oct 11, 2012 2:17 pm

100% correct...I do have that habit

I just generally assume people will read my sig or info under the Avatar and know I am in Durbs.

@Petrolhead... where do you stay bud? Then we know what advise to give you

Post by **panic-mechanic** » Thu Oct 11, 2012 2:23 pm

Yes people could read your signature and see you are in durban. As person asking form advise here most likely has no idea that there might be a diiference between howmsoemthing works here to how it works at sea level. Even pretty experienced fiddlers never seem to realise that it makes a difference. So always qualify it by it might not work for you ifnyou are at the highveld.
The three main things where it makes a diffs is
A) cams
B) exhausts
C) itb sizes.

For the rest generally advise is generic.

I remember that Rob had a system on him 1.6 Life many moons ago and he was very happy with it at the time the rest of the motor was stock and he had the strongest 1.6 in the club at the time.

His always made around 86 HP ATW

Thanks for all the advice guys!

Sorry forgot to mention im from Durban! Abel is in Durban too...

Was going to get the Branch ceramic coated but for the price of doing that i could rather spend the money somewhere else where i could gain more.

Agree?

I got cheaper quotes to get the exhaust done at a few other places but id rather go to Viper as they have a very good reputation.

Well then... go with Abel's advice. Coastal air FTW

Abel is back in Jhb bud

petrolhead · Post by **petrolhead** » Thu Oct 11, 2012 3:13 pm

He is in demand. Very busy man.

Yeah just gonna leave it in his hands and hope to enjoy the outcome. Like i said im not expecting huge gains... 2 - 3kws maybe but will be enjoying the sound of a proper performance exhaust.

joggiep · Post by **joggiep** » Thu Oct 11, 2012 3:15 pm

His systems are of the nicer sounding type.. always gets the balance between and nice crisp/raspy sound without it being overly load or drony right.

Have had Viper in my car for the past 3 years - no issues until recently when I noticed a ton of cracks in my branch.
Not bad considering the almost 150 000kms in the 3 years.

petrolhead · Post by **petrolhead** » Thu Oct 11, 2012 3:49 pm

Yeah not bad @ Life160 - What has been done to ur 1.6i to reach the power figures in ur signature line?

76.6kw/144nm (RBTS)

Is this wheel or fly power?
