I beleive I'd talk w/ BadStratRt before I did business with ripp. Just a suggestion.

 

i was very, very dissappointed with Ripp, as are many of the people who i have spoken with who have dealt with them....if you guys are looking for something that Ripp sells, I would suggest hitting me up first, and let me see what I can do. I have seen in person what is the most powerful RippMods RT coupe, and ive spoken with guys who are like you and i, who dont have tens of thousands to dump into fixing things...

kang...you got your stuff from jason vinz? did you make your eyebrows, or did he? how are the caliper decals?

 

Yeah, I made the eyebrows, similar to yours but I shaped mine right around the turn signal, so its almost like an m. I'll post pictures soon. The calipers are sweet, it looks a lot like what comes on the vettes so its pretty nice. Putting them on required a bit of work, a blow dryer, and some patients. But he sends you like 5 different sizes and some with an arch with whatever you want on the decals. I'll try to get some pics up if we ever get a sunny day. The pipe "muffler" coming off of the back of your car looks a hell of a lot bigger then 2.5", did you just cut it after the axel and put a larger pipe? Do you know any shops in the metro detroit area that will tune the r/t's for a reasonable price?

 

i dont know what kind of tuning that youre really looking for...everyone that i have talked to with built RTs have told me that unless you have mods that GREATLY alter the stock air flow, such as intake plenum/head work or headers/cat work, tuning wont gain you much...where do you live, and what color is your car? i see a few nice looking red RTs a silver one with some vinyl, and a few black ones around here..is one of them you? i live in shelby twp.

my rear section is the muffler from my mirada, and it is alot bigger than 2.5", which is why my car has such a unique sound...i have alot deeper, and alot less nasal sound than many NA V6s..we simply remove the rest of the outlet from the muffler, and that is what is left..i believe that it was a dynomax header muffler...

let me know when you have some pictures up...i look forward to them!

 

I'm running an Eibach Lowering Pro kit on my Stratus. I like the look and the ride isnt anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. I have pictures in my profile if you want to see the look. My car recieved a 2in drop up front and 3in the rear. I think it looks very nice.

 

My strat is black, and I live in Farmington Hills. I spend a great deal of time in the clinton twp area, m59 and van dyke to hayes area.

I am eventually going to add N.O.S. but seeing as a turbo or supercharge kit costs about 5k I am looking for any na mods that will boost horse. I have found a guy that will reprogram the chip from an eclipse to advance timing and he claims 15-25% gains in horse. I'm not sure that a) it's the same chip, and b) that the gains are there. I was also thinking about adjustable cams to advance the timing. With the intake and the exhaust, is there anywhere else under a $1000 a pop that I can go to get the r/t flirting with some mustangs? Thanks a lot as you have been very helpfull, and I'll get some pics if this damn weather ever clears up.

 

hey I got a 2.4L sxt too, parts are tough to come by, but i've found some

 

I have a spare k&n tyhoon short ram air intake, for a 03 2.4L stratus cp. brand new still in box.
