Suggestions on 2.5" high-flo cats?
universal flowmaster or magnaflow cat, that'll fit in that spot... all sized up

might as well just save for headers&cat from S&S Headers lol

You did your own page Gir , your a myspace whore admit it !

I check mine every other day , or if I'm realy bored I check it just to see who wants to be my friend so they can spam me to death

My page is a little T&A , as I've been told

Nice tune on your page grfnkl.
I'll add you later so you can see my page, I forgot it was set on private.

Yea Vipey If you'd have gotten that Dhp reflashed it would have been junked and set to the stock pcm set up.
Glad to hear its on and running

I didnt hear your GA this evening though I wasnt ready to listen
3000GT's are realy nice, especialy the Vr4= turbo !!

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

I figure I'll keep my grand damn and buy a VR4 and when the VR4 breaks like it's known to do I'll drive my grand damn

VR4's are just sooo sexy... heavier than f@#$ but god they are hot to look at... if they magically transformed into women they'd be teh hawt Ms. Universe

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

They drive like a dream too.
My wifes cousin has one and we were cruising down the highway and I thought, man seems like we are going realy fast ... YIPE ! 180 mph and we're just cruisin

Just the sound of that engine behind your head screaming!

I also like the old stealths.
I had my eye on this pastel yello one, with pastel green rims, with AW steering and twin turbos. They just wanted way to much for it having over 150k miles.
Soon after it had major engine troubles and crapped out.
It was super fast and quick!

They do break a lot which is why I'm keeping my GA My GA DOESN'T break a lot. Just buy a VR4 and get an engine rebuild and you're good to go

I know someone who did that... they got a 3000GT for FREE, bought a brand new motor and new wiring harness ( since the other was cut), bascially it was brand new again.... However since then The last time i saw him he was driving his POS neon... so it may be dead by now, either stolen, wrecked, or broke down... Don't know.

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

Yea Vipey I saw some lightning, and rain
Shouldnt take to far to open'er up. 1 mile and you should be able to max it out
Granted the SE only reads 120, it should be able to go faster then that.
Just watch it if you are on I-65 the cops are thick out there

I think any car that runs boost will have more problems then a car that doesnt have boost.

One being more stress on the engine and its components.
Two being you run the caca out of it regularly

Tonight is goin to suck ! I have auctions starting at 6pm, and it will probly be 12-1am before I get outta there
At least its not for nothin

If i was able to hit 110 on my GT stock...( that's as far as the comp would let me go) then you should be able to surpass that with not problem.... and so far 120ish on the 6 GTP stock... with more left to go...

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

i'd be scared to go faster than 110 in my GA almost lol... I made an excellent skid on the highway yesterday when I almost took the wrong exit and changed my mind at the last second and avoided a tiny little plastic pylon by about 4 feet while half-drifting my FWD car it was skillful driving and I was thanking god my car was lowered and I had a strut bar!!! SKKKIIIIIIDDDDDD!

But yeah... in a VR4, you'd have like total control and 110 would feel like a casual cruise

be careful dude lol

I've gone 120+ on a straight, the RPMS were still climbing and I didnt get a look at my aerotech scan gauge but my car started to 'float' which is scary, mines not lowered lol... you can just feel the whole car ready to slip out or so it seems

Yep I know that feeling!!!! It feels like the whole car is ready for take off... and well mine felt like it was gonna explode or something.... but for some reason or another the g/a's are very $ss light. If your not careful you can throw yourself into a full out spin out. Not that i know that from experience.... ... *ehem* Speakin of losing control I think i have to add Tires to the list for the 6. I have the crappy Goodyears that came with the car... and i sort of found out the hard way you can't go fast into a turn while the road is just ever so slightly wet... not that i wasnt have a little fun with that..( donuts in the parking lot of the hotel.... ) but it's a "Safety" Issue...
