Smooth tubes

FEViper · July 26th, 2003, 12:51 PM

where is a good place to get smooth tubes?
Is there any other bolt-on mods i can get on my viper?

Anywhere. I think Roe Racing was cheaper than PartsRack when I was shopping. Both are online.

I got my from JonB at parts rack. You can even get them on e-bay. There might be some guys here on the board who sell them. Here are some pics...definately get some... smooooth

I don't know if anyone knows this but you can get them at any NAPA store.

I was looking on partsrack.com.
Whats the best smooth tubes i can get?
Which is right for my FE viper?

If it's stock, I don't think you need the fancy ones with metal braces or loops to hold them open. I'd just get silicone. You can ask JonB at PartsRack--he's reliable.

Get the Chromies, they look really cool, and you can weld a bung in later on for the N20 nozzles, since you are currently underpowered...

What about these?
Is there ny difference in performance compared to the extra money ?

So im thinking of upgrading to just bolt on parts for now?
Any suggestions other then the smooth tubes and K&N's?

FEViper · July 26th, 2003, 06:06 PM

Will i get the same HP output with the silicone smooth tunes and S&N filters from roeracing as i will with the smooth tubes and K&N filters with partsrack.com?

Is there any better smooth tubes??? [img]/images/graemlins/freak3.gif[/img]

Mapar smooth tubes are a complete and total rip off...they are not better than the $60 tubes...if you're going cheap, get the red ones from either PartsRack or RoeRacing...it makes no diff...K&N...S&B...no diff in performance...I personally stay with the "better" (more recognized) brand name...

Just get the chromies damn it!!!

FEViper · July 26th, 2003, 07:51 PM

Ok ok
I guess im going to the chromes and the K&Ns from partsrack.com

How hard are they to install?

**Snake Bitten** · July 26th, 2003, 08:18 PM

They are cake to install...Buy a service manual asap...so if any other little stuff comes up, you can easily handle it...not to mention it's a good read...

BigCarrot · July 26th, 2003, 11:12 PM

**Minivan Man** · July 26th, 2003, 11:32 PM

I had the Roe tubes and SPs. Added 17 RWHP from stock. Did one pull stock, and another with the tubes and filters on.

BigCarrot · July 27th, 2003, 08:12 AM

Where do you live again? Shit I don't need those things, I have factory smooth tubes! I just figured the chrome might look kinda neat.

**Smokin** · July 27th, 2003, 06:47 PM
