Thread: New Cat And Pipe

Ok got my new Cat and pipe today, and just wanted to make sure it looks right before I or have someone install it.

98 GP SE 3.1L

There's a converter in there.

That's the problem.

Ok changed my sigy pic to what it looks like as Sunday Oct 16 2011.

And a cat is needed so it wont throgh codes - its says its a high flow cat.

And im trying to get rid of the U bend.

And u didnt answer the question - if it looks correct for the motor.

yes its fine
and theres no "high flow cat" there all "high flow"

^^Ummm, wut.

And on the correct DP, Sure...Looks like it'll work.

You only addressed part of the issue, the u-bend sucks...but the factory downpipe sucks as well.

Also, step 1 should be to remove that wing/hubcaps and get a stock white GP wing, and GT/GTP front-rear bumpers and side skirts...then lower, wheels, and tinted windows?

so much for another thread

If that was the case, then factory converters or factory OEM replacements would trip SES lights.

HFC's DO trip CEL's because they flow much better than stock...IF that cat he has in there flows ANY better than stock...he'll get a CEL regardless if he has a cat or not...not that factory converters have flow issues or a HP restriction...but they are known for clogging...which is why I'd get rid of them.

huh, what, your cat smokes a pipe, what did you say

Did he get the memo???

Someone should inform him of our Ricer Reports and the thread its about to be entered into.

I don't want to be the one to do it... but so help me if he posts good pictures of that blue wing and wheel caps I will save pictures, upload to a private folder in PB and he will be added to the Ricer Thread

^^^ Your right... not funny at all. I can appreciate the blue Pin stripes... keep it... color match the calipers and accent accordingly. Blue wheel CAPS, that blue park bench you call a spoiler (which serves no purpose), and the single (dual outlet) blue exhaust tip, and blue grills all make this car RICE WORTHY!!!

It IS my opinion, I know... if you like it... ok But how can you not see it as rice???

If you had a $3000 custom 1 of a kind Blue Chrome set of wheels, I would let it slide... get a nice wing that follows the car (SD or SLP) and paint that blue, we would let THAT slide... maybe. But this is not sexy at all. Sorry

well then ur not going to like that the side stips molding will be blue, as well as the "Pontiac"(thats molded in) on the front and rear bumper also blue.
And right now the upper pin stripes are factory and black - not sure if im going to change.

And all of the "Grand Prix" badging will be gold or blue.

Just stuff im doing and havnt decided some colors yet. (Blue or Gold)

the colors arent whats that bad...if you got nicer rims and they were blue, or if you got rid of that dang wing it would look alot better.
