As another alternative for used viper parts, they have 8 vipers being taken apart at this moment in time !

I had my mph speedo off them and are hopefully sorting a few more bits for me, they gave me a great service.
The site doesnt list the parts, but just email if you need anything

I went thru a list of stuff with them, but I am mainly trying to move from my stock exhaust, and I might be getting close to what i want:

They said if I wanted to get hold of belanger headers and corsa cat back then talk to boys at Partsrak. Wonder if i could get a deal with them, or would be best thru other routes?

www.partsrack.com -JonB, most have brought off him. He's probably the cheapest around on exhausts, dont for get hi flow cats if your spending extra on the bellangers.

I brought all 3 items off JonB and got a bit of discount.

www.x2builders.com are breakers they dont sell new stuff, but you may fall lucky at some point if a performance part is fitted to a car they dismantle

I liked the sound from the Borla but the look of the corsa is cool, So how about, ca $3.5k of

High Flow cat: 3 inch in/out Stainless Steel Cats

Corsa Viper Cat-Back Exhaust

Belanger Headers:Belanger super-tuned long tube, Tri-Y headers. Mandrel bent 1 3/4 inch primary tubes, 3 inch collectors. High temp ceramic metallic coating inside aand out, nickel chrome finish. OBD2 Compliant (no check-engine light).

wonder how much extra power i'll get from this?
and who would be best to fit it all..as me and spanners don't get on.

or should i be looking at something different..

my full system went on at my mates garage in about 5 hours with ramps (a must) the right tools, a welder and a few pairs of helping holding hands. Nothing complicated about swapping just finding someone who you trust to do a proper job is the problem. Had to get reducers machined for the cats to slip in, although I think JonB sells them to now. You'll also need bungs were the rear sensors would be on US spec cars, Euro cars dont have 'em

have seen on the USA forum upto 60bhp gain for a full system on pre 99 cars
