May have been a bit harsh, but it's like every bad idea I've seen on here lately rolled into one thread. If he had a M90 I'm sure he'd be throwing a 3.2" pulley on there too.Originally Posted by gotboost3

ok guys... like I said... jsut want some sound of of my car.. not a coffee can, jsut soe sound... figure glass pack would do that... idk.
and about the spoiler.. i kinda like it... its better than the stock one
but most of these mod are appearance... ok so i wont put an SS on my ar.. figured SS was a general term used by alot of manufactures for super sport..
So would it be ricer to put a GT emblem on my car... if it has everything a GT does..?

Super Sport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2006 GP GT has a supercharged 3800. Your base GP should have the non-supercharged version. Yes, it would be ricer seeing how the supercharger would be the most important part of the GT trim level. My car is faster than an Impala SS, but you don't see me slapping SS badges on it do you? It is what it is.

Ok.... I siad i'm not going to slap a SS badge on there... now anyways... that we now have an opinion that any modified exhaust without a real turbo or super charger
on it is now a ricer.... guess that means my dad's 6.0 is now a ricer.. hmm
if i have a chrome pipe for my Cold air intake, will that just reverse the effects of the kit or make it worse? Since metal is a conductor of heat, and plastic isnt? or am i getting to scientifically incolved

lol most of the people are just joking with you, i could care less what you do with the car, were just letting you know it gets annoying when people have a decent car and you want to throw cheapo mods on it.
For the intake, whatever will seal and look decent, your throttle body is going to get pretty warm regardless. The CAI may drop intake temps maybe 10 degrees average, which really doesnt do a whole lot for your performance. What makes a bigger difference is the size and bends on your intake piping, thats why some just put a filter on the end of the throttle body and call it good (HAI). For your N/A 3800 L26 you could probably go with anything above 3" for the intake and be fine. Just extending it over and getting the filter away from the crossover pipe would suffice, but totally up to you.

maybe. your definetion is a little off though. does his modified exhaust actually do something for the vehicles performance, or did he just slap on some muffler/exhaust tip to make it sound "cool"
i have a modified exhaust, i do not have a turbo or supercharger, and my car is certainly not "ricer" material
air moves through your intake way too fast for the material its made out of to effect it, you just want the filter to be in the coldest place possible. i would use nothing thinner then 3.5 inch pipe

Not sure where you're getting that, but no one said that at least that I saw. Just don't stick a fart can on there and don't go straight pipes. Sound is personal preference. In my opinion, Magnaflows sound the best of the reasonably priced mufflers. A few like Flowmaster, but most hate it. I run a pair of Magnaflow XLs with no resonator and I'm perfectly happy with how it sounds.
No, it will never sound like a V8 no matter how hard you try. The best you'll get is idle.

Ok thanks for the help guys..I have not intention of makig it a ricer, i dont want a fart can just a nice sound...Ill try a magna flow XL without resonator, though my enhaust isnt a dual system, its a single.. will it still still sound good/ provide enough exhaust?
also, I found some 4 in chrome pipe that ill use for the CAI, just waiting for a paycheck from our farm to buy stuff forit... its hard making decent money at $3 an hour.....
but this is my last day of highschool, so ill have plenty of time until i go to college
oh ya... like i said, im going to michigan tech wheres there's lots of snow and its cold... in fact there may still be smoe snow up there... will this CAI hurt my engine? does snow get up in the wheel well and get into my intake? i dont want to make a plexiglass box.. I was just gonna run an open cone... please lemme know.
