    Pretty much any Wbody exhaust will bolt up so look for regals, Monte Carlo, gxps and impalas.

    Sevenhellz factor in that the extension piece doesn't come painted so add painting to the cost. Yup told you to get the lube out lol prices just keep going up year after year.

    That would be all up to you. Where not local so can't recommend a place. Stay away from Maccos. Ask locals around and I'm sure someone could recommend a good shop for you. We're here to help you but something's were not able to answer for you. you would have to go on your own and find a place.

    Ac delco iridium plugs and ac delco spark plugs. Your not going to gain HP off of them well at least nothing noticeable.

    ok so you wanna go faster than 110, easy go to over kill and get a tuned pcm. Second, performance mods on that type of car can be done but i would advise it the most you can really do are things like; cold air intake, down pipe, cat-back exhaust, hv3 intake just to name a few. Now, if you really wanna spend the money you can go for a l32 swap which would involve ripping apart the top end of the engine and installing different heads and a supercharger along with different injectors. I do now some guys that have way too much money to throw around and have done cam, heads, and a turbo install, but they are going thru transmissions like every other week. To some it all up, if your going to mod your car keep it simple.

    Plenty of people are still on stock trans with around 300WHP, regardless of turbo or blower setup....

    your biggest performance hinderance on ur car is the electronic throttle body... when u romp on it the computer responds with a f*** you and proceeds to make u go slow, at least thats my experience... just wait till you drivean even newer car with electronic steering... scary sh*t

    Why don't you sell your car and buy something faster. That would probably be smarter in the long run.
