    W body handle with lowering springs?

    I think not.

    Better than stock yes, but still not that great.

    Eric.... that post was useless, thx for writing everything down I already know,great waste of space/time lol. i do believe headers help though.
    "headers are not too much for a N/A car as long as they're 1 and 5/8ths primaries, and yes, Speed daddy's/SSAC's are 1 and 5/8ths". came from MATT5112 and is being debated here http://www.grandprixforums.net/down-pipes-55817.html
    im so involved with the exhaust because we do etest here(if you didnt read) and when/if i get headers i wanted to know how i should setup the rest of the system. I know about lowering,be last thing i do.
    lets not make my thread a big argument or discussion its mostly for updates on my car please, if you want to argue the facts about headers click on that link i provided.
    Cameron. I have been looking for a set to match my paint but no luck so far.

    I met up with Will from overkill today and he drove my car around for 1.5 hours tuning away. He is a great guy to talk to and i learned so much from him! AND he got my gm stock anti theft system shut off so now im not stuck with my key on the "on" position for 10 minutes as the car relearns my key! that saved me few hundred right there!
    I'm just amazed how different the car feels intown driving, shifts are quick but not harsh, stays and in the correct gear while going up hill or slightly accelerating. he even gave me some new tweaks he been trying and say work great for the tranny at highway speeds! and best is when you slam the pedal to the floor the car gets up and goes!
    Another thing that was funny that for the first bit he was driving and tuning on 87 octane tune, he pulled over and then said "everything looks great lets put the 91 tuning in" i didnt say anything but i was I thought for sure it was already on 91 octane tune, when he took off WOW is all i got to say. when i got the car to myself i brought the car to 160km and was grinnin ear to ear .dont know what else to say but awesomeness!
    I am 1000% satisfied and cant wait to slap a HV3 in to keep that powerband going up into redline.

    Installed my 2.5'' Downpipe yesterday, drove around with the wife doing errands all day long, so before we took off I reset the DIC, it was all stop and go heavy traffic, barely getting out of 2nd gear it seem'd before i was stopping long story short 2 hours of city driving and was reading 11.2/100km which google calculator says is 21 mpg, i was being nice to the gas pedal, but not holding up traffic. being it was -10 celcius (14 Fahrenheit) I think the car is doing pretty well.
    Butt dyno also tells me the downpipe gave me a stronger low-midrange pull havent got to play with my new mod safely yet.

    the dual tips were on ebay,not napa. my round tips were from napa.
    the dual tips i saw for $100.00, i have seen few people on this site find the same thing for cheaper on ebay though.

    napa or partsource or any exhaust shop, wreckers would be cheapest.

    I thought I would have to go to the wreckers and hope to find a anniversarey gp there and yank the tips off those. Thats the cheapest way anyways and thats what I need lol.
