Thread: Modding my 97 gtp help

So I've always wanted to mod my gtp and i have some money to get started. I'm going to post what I'm getting but I'm not sure if I'm going to be too restrictive on my exhaust. id really prefer to not get headers and I'm on a tight budget

custom make fwi
aeroforce scan gauge
autolite 104s
180 tstat
3.5 pulley
electric cutout

I'd have the cutout open most of the time, and i know its not very grand prix traditional from what I've seen on the forums but id really like to save some money in the exhaust department, and i think that would really help for the flow, but id like to hear everyone's opinions on it.

thanks in advance!

Headers or bust...

by headers or bust are you implying that my engine will blow or that itll be harder to mod later on?

I am saying you HAVE to do something with that exhaust.... I dont think a cutout will help you that much...

but i really dont have that money and alot people are saying dp sometimes with plog and that would go right back down the skinny exhaust then i dont see why a e-cutout woudnt help. thanks for your input

Headers are fairly cheap. Be with a DP the size gets bigger (2.5" to 3") and a PLOG helps free up exhaust as compaired to the stock manis... A cutout is after all that mess...

A cut out will not help you, the front manifold and and the Ubend after the cat if you don't put headers on the car you will blow it with a 3.5" pulley the plot and dp is only if you want to run stock boost levels

Forget the cutout. Go with headers they're $200 and worth every penny and they'll get rid of the ubend 96-03 come with from the factory.

so if i did headers and dp wouldnt i have to do a full exhaust or just a reducer down to stock exahust, cuz im really not wanting to spend 500 bucks for the exhaust

Headers have DP... And it will bolt up to stock Cat back

and that will help huh... should i get 3 inch and oh and would that replace ubend as well?

The stock cat back flows good to ~350whp

headers will replace all that jazz.. from heads to cat-back.

i heard it is very hard to install is that true?

No pretty easy. Even easier if you use BIllBoost write up

Headers are not that bad... It is a good thing to learn how to do.. If you want help then put a thread up in the regional section.

link? and i really hope its easy!

Just search for Billboost Headers...
