Dodge Viper GEN 5 V10 Valved Exhaust System (2013-2017)

The Dodge Viper GEN 5 V10 exhaust in detail.

The fifth-generation Viper, from 2013 to 2017, keeps the same radical recipe: an 8.4-litre naturally aspirated V10, here raised to 645 hp and 813 Nm. No turbo to smooth the edges, only displacement, and a factory exhaust that holds back part of what the engine has to say.

The Rog valved cat-back unleashes the 8.4-litre’s seismic rumble, with the valves open, with a climb through the revs that fills the space and a total physical presence. With the valves closed, the GEN 5 returns to its factory level for calmer journeys. The page is for this generation; the GEN 4 has its own page, and your VIN is checked before manufacturing.

About two hours in the workshop, with no welding, are enough to install the system with clamps and gaskets; the valves follow the factory control if there is one, otherwise the Rog remote.

Under the “Manifold” option, the page sells the front part carrying the 8.4-litre’s catalytic converters, and on this 645 hp naturally aspirated V10 a combined ECU remap only brings a modest gain, in the order of 3 to 8%, the main benefit remaining the breathing and the voice. For a registered GEN 5 driven on the road, the 200-cell version keeps emissions control, the 100-cell version will be accepted or not depending on the car and the rules in your country, and the decat version remains reserved for track use. For the material, 304 stainless steel takes everything in its stride, titanium saves around 40%.
