    I recently bought a 2000 pontiac GTP 4 door dark blue with tan leather interior. 88,000 miles. its got the supercharged v6 obviously. fairly fast car but i have plans on modding the pulleys, intake, exhaust and somwhere down the line, headers. any tips on what i should mod first and how it should be done. like say i mod my pulleys, should i have to also upgrade my head gasket?

    Hi.

    Exhaust first, then add air.

    Do some reading and you'll learn how to mods these cars the correct way. Or else your motor will not last very long.

    Catback never needs to be touched. Mufflers don't add flow.

    We've said headers in the previous posts, bum around on this forum and you'll find loads of info on all this with prices and where you can find everything.
