Thread: Not a new member, but a new ride!

Hey guys/gals, it's been a while since ive posted anything. Just been working my rear off and decided to get a new toy. Just got this last week.... 2008 Grand Prix GXP Yes, i think i'll be a W Body man till I die (or wise up). Ive already made a fender well intake for it as well and a exhaust setup for it as well and had a graphics shop in town add the black fender stripes the other day. What do you folks think?

Very nice ride!! I love red and the combo with the loud exhaust screams look at me lol

Congrats man, i almost bought one but i missed by a couple of weeks. nice clean ride, whats your future plans for it?

You GXP guys need your own forums now a days too many popping up!


Nice ride love the GXP in that color

Thanks man. Id like to get a HP tuner, cam and maybe LS7 intake, and get rid of the AFM... sounds like a freakin helicopter in 4th around 2500 rpms lol

Not many GXP's around here...most thinks its a V6 till I crank it up lol. As far as the color, I wasn't looking for a torch red one, but the color quickly grew on me.

Aftermarket exhaust can make the DoD/AFM louder and annoying.

Right now ive just done a muffler delete with quad aftermarket tips and the factory resonator in place. Sounds good for what it is, but yes its slighty annoying when the dod/afm kicks in at slower speeds, but with the intake esp at full throttle its sounds really good to me.

Kick ass red GXP love that color and the dark purple ones!!!

EDIT: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE DO NOT PUT BLACK WHEELS ON IT !!!!!
Thanks

Just incase you were thinking about it Haha!!

Yes the intake makes the biggest difference in sound. NO! These wheels will stay polished, unless they get scuffed, then maybe, but not until then! lol

Forgot to add... gonna flip the dogbone mount sometime this weekend...

Looks nice, broski. Tint the windows and remove the little GM squares from the fenders.

Thanks man, I forgot about those dang GM squares... that and the V8 in the back will be gone next week, once I get the garage cleaned out enough to take them off in the warm lol.
