    Been looking for after market parts for my ride. I would like to increase HP and Torque. All I seem to find are truck parts that wont fit my engine compartment. I just want to go alot faster. Need more horses to keep up with the G8GT 362hp dont like to be beaten. If anyone knows where to order after market parts for this car please let me know. THANKS

    IMO Pontiac Screwed up with that Model and should have made the GXP rear wheel drive. That way you could mod it alot easier. Good luck finding mods. Sorry I can't be of any help.

    I have seen the following:
    K&N CAI
    Cold Air Inductions CAI (http://www.coldairinductions.com/W-B...oldAirBox.html
    Magnaflow Exhaust
    Superchips handheld tuner

    ZZP also sells some rockers (ZZ Performance).

    You might want to chack out the LS4 section over on ls1tech.

    The Impala SS guys have a lot of info on their board, plus a little more time with the transverse LS.

    Hey I have a 2006 gxp and the same exact thing was happening to my speaker. on mine it was the right door that was buzzing. i took it in and they replaced the speaker and it did nothing. they need to replace the head unit and that fixes the problem.

    I bought mine in October and have not heard the buzzing noise yet. How long did you have yours before it started?
