Auto Vs. Manual

[02grandam3837]

i have a 2002 Grand AM GT and i was wondering how much it would cost and how hard it would be to convert my car from auto to manual trans.?


i was also wondering if i were to buy a new exhaust system how would i know if the system had a good sound that i would like?

itd be a pretty penny to switch it up to a manual....

as for the exhaust, stick around... depends on what you want.. sort of sound and any performance from it as well

A manual wont work on the V6.

If you hav a 4 cyl then it can be done but like Gir said costly.
Pretty sure the mount for the clutch pedal is actually on the firewall already, just up from the brake pedal.
Though you would still need a LOT of other stuff and the PCM replaced/reprogramed, wiring harness's.

Not a fun project at all

On the exhaust it all personal preferance and how much $$ you have.
www.exhaustsoundclips.comhas several types of exhausts, on GA's and other cars.

yuh, any questions about the exhaust, feel free to ask.

Few ideas for now.. you can do a borla cat-back setup ... probly most expensive $600+

SLP exhaust kit, around $400-ish but im sure you can find a deal for it online

Or if you want to use resources, a flowmaster 80 series or any camaro/firebird style exhaust will do the job.

You can find flowmaster 80 series pretty cheap on e-bay... I ordered mine for only $96 flat + shipping. Did a 2.5" exhaust from cat-back at a local muffler shop and that cost me $240 to have it all done and sealed.

PFYC used to carry the SLP kit, but they dont now.
I think they were discontinued, so custom exhaust is the way to go.

I too have the flowmaster 80' w/2.5" from cat back and its nice
