    Hey everyone I'm Nichole and have been in the W-Body game since I started driving in 2002. My first car was a 1996 Monte Carlo LS:



    I had to regretfully retire her to the junkyard last fall due to rot in critical places (rear trailing arm mounts, etc.). I looked around at 6/6.5 gen Montes since I'm a Chevy and Monte Carlo person (MonteCarloChick everywhere on the interwebs). I just couldn't get comfortable in them. It didn't feel right. So, I went over to the Pontiac side of GM and started looking for a Grand Prix. Soon I fell in love with a 2004 GT2 I found:





    I also own a '92 full size Blazer:



    Thanks for having me

    No lift, totally stock besides the hood, wheels, upgraded tire size, new grille, front bow tie, '88 style quad headlights, and crash bar. It's a project.

    Welcome and best of luck on that. 3800's have this knack for sounding horrible. Only exhausts I've noted that didn't sound horrible were on the bigger body cars ... and only because then the exhaust was nearly silent.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    A good set of headers and a nice lopey cam sounds pretty Good in these things. But I'm the exception with that thinking, not the rule. Welcome, and good luck
