Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

You wont outflow your stock exhaust, so its not worth it to remove the cat and increase the piping size. If you were to do anything just swap mufflers for a sound change.

And the code would have to "tuned" out, "shut off" via tuning software like HP Tuners, a dealership cannot do this for you.

But it could also be because I'm the only one that ever is in the car and I don't touch windows...but they seem to not get fogged up or anything near as bad as when I was using other types of cleaner.

Cool, thats why i wanted to get a good cleaner so that the window stays really clean. Had the window very dirty for weeks and gets hard to see at night with cars headlights glare. Thanks for advice ill check it out at my local autozone

I would rethink that price if you want to have any buyers even investigate into the vehicle. That's steep as hell for a 2001 with 75k.

Work and some errands, canceled the overkill tune. Decided to do it right and buy an hptuners suite.

No one is paying 8 grand for a 01 GT.

I've seen them online at dealers with more miles and no HP Parts from $6995 to $8995.

Just randomly browsing through your list you didn't spend your money to well. But if your happy I'm happy.

Danielle if you buy that dp you could probably sell your car from the car for around $75

Having X invested doesn't mean you can get even that out of a vehicle.

And I bet you see those cars never selling too. A private seller will never get the same as a dealer out of a car.

I can't buy it till at least next weekend, so if its still around I might. I gotta drive an hour for it tho, I imagine shipping wouldn't be cheap on it.

Doesn't matter what you have invested. It matters what the car is worth. You can buy an 07 GT (supercharged) with the same or less miles for that price.

You'll never get $8000 for that car.

replaced stripped (rounded off) bleeder screw on the caliper last night so I have full breaking now. it feels like a new truck...except for the terrible exhaust drone.

Truth. Plus, let's think about what the dealership paid for that...3000-3500 tops for a trade in. You can get a fourth gen Camaro with ~100k for 8 grand and it'll be an Ls1 AND RWD. Ain't nobody got time for 8,000 on a GP
