hey everyone
so i recently moved to denver and now im looking to start the upgrading on my 2001 gt
right now im going to stick with an intake and an exhaust system
im thinking about a BBK intake but i cant make up my mind on the exhaust
ive been looking at magnaflow, bassani, flowmaster, and borla
i want my car to have an aggressive and throaty tone but i also want a decent amount of power
i would really appreciate some help from everyone!
THANK YOU!

just go to youtube and type in what exhaust you think you might like and watch a video

ive been doing that and i cant make up my mind because the sound quality sucks

Flowmaster with a catted or O/R x pipe ( or h pipe) sounds **** good

i also like the SLP LMII cat back

I got Borla on my GT and it sounds great. It has a nice tone but it's not overpowering like some of the others i've seen out there. You hit the gas and you hear what you want but at the same time you don't have the droan that most exhausts have while cruising. But, I gotta tell ya if your looking for performance like an HP number your not going to see much unless you perform others mods along with the exhaust my bone stock GT did not really improve performance with the exhaust alone I wouldn't expect much from just an exhaust.

unless you get headers.
But other than that an intake and exhaust on a 2v doesnt do much.

hey everyone
thanks for all your help!
so i think ive decided what to do exhaust wise
ok so i am going to go for a k&n typhoon intake
and im going to get a catback exhaust from Mighty Mufflers
eventually im going to start looking to cams and maybe headers

I have experience with both Magnaflow and SLP, Both of these companies deliver a top notch product.

i have bbk long tubes and of road h-pipe with spintech side exit mufflers. its LOUD but not horrible sounding. It quiets up when not on it but everyone knows when i am comming. and i expect it to be worse when i get the car back with the new engine and cams etc

Ok
so im going for a custom exhaust from Mighty Mufflers and a K&N 63 series intake...after this i probably will go for a diablosport tuner
what could i start looking for after all of this?
im going to start taking my car to the dragstrip in May so what would be some ideas for easy power?

boduke0220

Throttle body and plenum.
3.73 or 4.10's..they dont make anymore power but will increase your 1/4 miles times by as much as .2 -.5 after that save up for a S/C thats the only mod that our cars like.

RED STUD

The list really is endless.

-Gears
-Gears
-Gears
-Slicks
-Aluminum Driveshaft
-Rear Seat Delete
-Throttle Body
-Headers and O/R H pipe
-Tune
-Built engine with Power Adder

Those are some straightline helpers

3:73 or 4:10?

wednesday is the day for my exhaust! =)
flowmasters w/ super 40
im excited!
