    What up guys how are things going? I am going to try ask this question as good as possible. I am wanting a little bit of a performance upgrade for my car. I figure mybe upgrading the coil packs would be the way to go. Here is the question, from what I have read the coil packs on the GTP are better than the aftermarket ones. I was wondering instead of getting some aftermarket ones if I could us the same coil packs from the GTP onto my car. I have a 2004 model. Please let me know something.

    supposedly they are the same in GT/GTP applications, but the part numbers say otherwise.

    Yeah, save your money and make a fenderwell intake and get a cooler T-stat, like a 180*...and maybe even a downpipe

    The ugly u-shaped "kinck" in the exhaust. It was done to keep the 02 sensor on the top side of the exhaust piping.
