I have an '01 Grand prix GT and my only mod is a FWI. Im considering doing a top swap in the future but i've decided to upgrade my exhaust first. i want to keep my cat back because its a lot of money for something that doesnt increase performance at my level and i dont want it to sound like it has balls since it doesnt. i also want a cat because i dont want to get in trouble for it and im kinda green. And no res delete because i hear it sounds like crap. for my so far low HP motor would a front manifold and downpipe be sufficient, or should i just get the headers with the DP? i also would like to know the sound difference (if any) between the two. about 900 is what im willing to spend, but it will take me a while to get the money and im willing to save. also would i need a tune with any of these? i hope i was specific enough.
front manifold is $270 from ZZP + $250 ZZP 3" DP ($50 cat return) =$470
$900 stainless steel ZZP headers with 3" DP ($50 cat return)= $850
P.S. ive seen a video on youtube of a grand prix with exhaust that sounded like cowbells. it was hilarious but i cant find it again, anyone have a link?
