Thread: 1997 gtp

you still might wanna see if somebody has a scanner around you just for safety measures. a lot of times guys will get a set of headers or a powerlog and downpipe with a setup like that. the most restrictive part of the exhaust with these cars is the front manifold and downpipe. the tune and other exhaust mods that you have are definitely helping though

another 97 owner in pa, welcome dont worry about the tranny it was the gt and se that had the ****ty one in 97

welcome op, if i were you id take it easy on the throttle untill you get headers or a dp and plog/pem. because with only a u bend delete letting the egine breathe theres a good chance your knocking. witht that said read this its a greatly informative thread: http://www.grandprixforums.net/f81/s...car-17482.html

well, for the gtx part, they don't make pontiacs anymore at all, so that's a no lol. with headers, you don't need to get a downpipe. if you get headers you will be replacing the downpipe part of the exhaust as well with the same piece. if you don't want headers, you will need to get a downpipe and what's called a powerlog, or plog for short. it's basically a replacement front exhaust manifold, just fabricated for better flow. i haven't done it, so i'm not sure on the skill level. hopefully someone else will chime in on it. getting it scanned for KR should be a priority when you get some free time, until then stay out of wide open throttle or other kinds of hard driving.

Jeeze i wish I found this website sooner lol. I mean i drive it normally but i get the occasional urge to hear the supercharger =) . Last night involved quite a bit of that since there was a car show lol. And this stupid kid is challenging me to race him in his scion tc and he thinks he will beat me but i think i will tear a new asshole in his car lol. What do you guys think? I know its not stock
