Ya know what.....I had an exhaust shop I use put it in because my garage is full with other crap right now, and I noticed gaskets sitting on there floor in the bay my car was in, I thought nothing of it until now, it does sound like a leak from the bottom of the car now that I listen down there!! Thos fu***** morons probably didnt put the gasket on like I told them too I'm goni right back down there here in a few min, there open on sunday and I'll see if thats the problem.

yea a downpipe will barley change sound any. if its THAT loud and annoying then there is a leak.

yeah, it happens fairly often with bigger exhaust parts. i flipped mine when i first did headers and never had a problem. if it is hitting youll see a spike of knock when you first stab the throttle and then it will go away pretty quickly depending upon your decay rate settings. flipping it should let you clear the added size of anything you can throw at it.

Well it sure eas leaking, the gasket in the rear wasnt sealed all the way and the resinator managed to get a hole in it somehow yesterday at the same time they put the DP in...how convient huh? Had the stock resinator replaced with a magniflow stainless one, problem fixed. And it does look like the sway bar is hitting the piece of flex pipe on the DP. How much of a pita is it to flip that thing, I just glanced under there and it looks pretty buried.

unbolt it from both sides. wiggle it out one end, flip it over, push it back through and bolt it back up. done. might be a pain to get in and out, but youll be able to do it if you work at it.

Off the wall question what do the 99+GTP's and then the 04+ run bone stock in the quarter? And what does the average 3.4 pully car with supporting mods 97-03 usually end up runnin?

a 3.4 car that has a very good tune on it and someone in the drivers seat that knows how to drive can pull off a mid 13.

Thats what I was hoping to hear....now maybe with a small meth shot..hmm

with intake and headers on a good day with bad traction i went 14.1 at 98. last time out with intake, headers and 1.8rr in high heat it went 14.2 at 96 with good traction.

my car has 13's in it right now, hell it probably had 13's with intake and headers but only on a good air day (about 50* and good DA)

with forced induction cars alot depends on the weather/air.

o and a guy had a stock 2000 ??? gtp when i went back in november when it was in good air. had subs in the truck and was going 14.9-15.0 range all day.

the heat killed you. it killed me last time. its not as bad for N/A cars.

my 60" last time was 2.02. ahhh i almost had a 1.9 i was also killin it on the reaction time. nothing slower than .150 and my best was .018 only got tree'd once.
