i fixed the exhuast im thinking it will last longer then its been lasting. i was using the exhaust repairs kits from the auto parts store, it was almost as thin as tin and the exhuast gases would burn through it. i replace it with some 24 gauge sheet metal that i had. its heavier gauge then that auto parts store kit crap. im thinking it will last a while. it sure isnt loud anymore and i already had the metal and clamps so i spend $0 on it. if it lasts it was a good cheap repair, if it doesnt then im not out any money. i really dont want to spend a whole lot of time underneath a car that is dripping crap on me and on the floor. i have a wood stove so i have heat but then all of that stuff starts to melt
This is 100% false. The body cladding has absolutely nothing to do with the body rotting out. Look at the Grand Prix SE's they rot just as bad if not worse than a GT/GTP.
