I think the Dual tips sound better then the singles.
I have new tips for the GT, I just havent had time to hack the others off and install the new ones.

Does it rattle in the rear ?

Is that rust I see ...
I didn't get a stainless steel exhaust system... just tips

But yeah... I'm getting my car's exterior done probably next summer, do avoid rust... and to fix all the stupid tears and breaks in the body.

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

Vipey,
stainless wasnt that much more then what you had installed.

If you have all that cash to throw around doing it twice,
by all means throw it my way.
Infinity Inc.
p.o. box bla bla bla



btw you like that nice thick coating on my SE's floor
Very quiet ride, from inside the cabin
if today were a fish, I'd trow it back ........

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

We too have had strange weather ......
Friday it was in the 50's I was outside in a T shirt.
Saturday it snowed all day, then rained that night

Today it was sunny and warmer, but not 50.

Hope you dont float away grfnkl,
though you look pretty high up from the angle of that pic.

..... was you on the antenna

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

Well I'm still here and haven't floated away yet! and I will stress the yet part!!! Well for yesterday we got something like 7 inches of rain with another 1-3 inches worth of rain today, and winds up to 40 mph, and we still haven't reached high tide with the rivers cresting yet. Most of the rivers around me are above flood stage already. The biggest concern is when the tide comes in all the rivers are expected to rise another 10 feet above the level that they are at. Most of the roads last night were rivers in themselves, and a lot had water spewing out of the manholes. crazy absolutely crazy!!!

So far my house is good, just a little water in the basement. The pic i took is actually from my attic window, another 4 feet higher I would be on the roof!!!

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

It also takes time for the rivers/creeks to reach thier highest peak, usually after the rain stops.

Good Luck man, sounds like the crap we had a couple weeks ago here.

Thankx Global Warming

Re: Grand Am Off Topic Thread

La Nina ....

If you say so .
The patterns IMO match close to what we had here in 96-97'.
I just remember it snowed on April fools day and I went mushrooming as a joke and found over 2#'s. I dont even like the things
They poped right up through the snow that was still partially on the ground, kinda wierd ....

Any way it was nice and sunny here today so no complaints from me

Your tips are alright Vipey.
I drove around with ugly 2.5" piping, crapy made dual tips on the SE for about a year.

I just prefer stainless so you dont get rusty looking tips
