    Hi i have recently bought my second Pontiac Grand Prix
    it is a 1998 GT Premium package with only 31000 miles
    probably the only one in the world with that low mileage

    i would love to hear more engine sound and have more performance then the
    200HP stock could you guys please inform me as what to do first and what
    brands are good i know about air filters so far im going with a secret weapon
    of 170 bucks now my knowledge ends please help me make this a racey car
    thanx in advance greetings from Vincent

    I tryed to show you this in the chat, but you were not paying attention.

    Read this: http://www.grandprixforums.net/safel...car-17482.html

    and then re-read it.

    As for your car not seeming peppy right now, its got low miles and pretty dam likely its on the original spark plugs and air filter. Do a standard tune up first then start modding if you wish.
