Sarg, what year is your rig and are the headers ceramic coated? Did they bolt right up or modifications needed? Pictures?

It is a 2007. I did not coat them. The left side heat shield bolted right over them but the right side gave me problems. Ripp told me to trim off the bottom edge. We had to make a few modifications to the headers because I have a TereFlex long Arm lift and the relocated control arm brackets were in the way. If you don't have a long arm kit you are good to go. The hush power and MBRP Cat-Back bolted right in with no issues.

I personally talked to the shop who did the install/dyno. No tuner was used at all just the bolt on parts as described.

OK, I have the reply from the Hypertech technician and I have sent my programmer to them in exchange for one with the new software update. I will report back to all when I have recieved, loaded programming and running with the new settings...I can't wait! I am espically excited about playing around with the proposed "larger throttle body" settings. I hope the turnaround comes before Thanksgiving. The only thing I hate is running BACK TO STOCK without the extra ponies and 1.5 MPG! I can read the MPH off of my GPS but my JK is just a dirfferent vehicle without it. Still with the VIPER throttle body performance, it is better than stock.

I have been running my VIPER TB for many months and miles now with no problems or codes thrown. I agree with the enhanced peformance pertaining to acceleration and WOT that others are seeing. It idles smoother and has a nice power feel as compared to stock...no dyno data. I problay saw an average 0.5 to MPG mileage increase with the mod. I have run this with the factory ECU settings and the Hypertech REGULAR tune...I am extremely happy with both. I am now testing the soon-to-be-released Hypertech "VIPER" TB tune (setting) in their new software since right before Thanksgiving. Again, I am extremely happy with the performance I am getting from this combination (TB + Hypertech tune). I am seeing faster acceleration, power and MPG increase of 1 to 2.0 MPG. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS INCONCLUSIVE since I have been running the new tune for about 150 miles and the ECU has not fully adjusted to it yet. My initial impression is "WOW" from the seat-of-pants meter and observed MPG. I will need to run several tanks of fuel to get some final impressions and true MPG increase.

I will post an update for you guys.
I have a 2009 with AEM intake, the TB is running fine. The only problem is a whistle at light throttle/cruse. I had a misfire issue and took off the viper TB while I was trying to find the issue (it had no effect) After running without it I really notice that the Viper TB gave me better throttle responce and more power.
I have a screemin deamon coil and wires on the way with new plugs. Then Viper TB will go back on after I run the new coil for a week.

Any problems with knock/ping? That is why I sold my superchips. Well that and the company did not want to admit some people were having problems or fix the problem... grrr...
