I simply want to say a HUGE thank you to Dan Lesser from Viper Specialty Performance not only for making a great product but for the support and help during the installation. I recently got his oil cooler lines and I asked a bunch of stupid questions (no really a ton) and Dan always answered, spoke to him on the phone a couple of times too, exchanging pictures and everything. Dan thank you!
As for the line install, search the threads very helpful info there.

Not to repeat what was originally said but early 2003 models like mine have a slightly different angle to the lines engine side so 2 people is a MUST! Removing stock lines was not that difficult, they weren't on hard just slightly awkward. I left the pan on and a long wrench running along the side of the pan made removing and tightening the new lines not that difficult. I had a harder time getting the lines by the cooler off because of the coolant lines (I was trying to avoid disconnecting those). The hardest part by far was lining up the new lines engine side after that pretty easy. Gen 3 owners do yourself a favour remove the coolant lines. Be careful not to damage the fitting as it is thin aluminum. You will lose a little bit of coolant but not too much and I have since learned that Gen 3 self-bleed so an easy fix.
So once again Thank you Dan for your before, during and after sale service. It is people like you that make owning a Viper & working on them that much better!
Cheers
Kev
