Thread: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged

Usually just sets a code and causes the car to run a bit lean that can effect mpg. That's about it.

The muffler shop I usually go to said theyd charge 50 a muffler n thats too much for two cuts n two welds lol. My dad has a welder but im not the greatest at it. I used to button up my old exhaust on a mustang I had before n it wasnt too pretty. Time to shop around for shops

Good luck with that, may suggest a little ma and pa shop. They should do a good job and for cheap too... getting the Borola nice i like those Exhuasts. Seen them on differ GPs, Impalas, Vettes, Camaros etc. They sound awesome.

Yea if all else fails try a mom and pops shop they tend to be a lot cheaper then the big shops and more negotiable. I paid like $50 to get both tips and mufflers welded on.




As you can see it was a mom and pops shop lol

^^^Exactly, When we had the GP we went to this one place and did a change on our LIM Gasket for like 200$. Compared to other places like good year who were going to do it for double that. But for the muffler they should do it cheap and like RED said very negotiable too.

Plus i believe they do offer warranty with their work too like 6 months but hey better than nothing.

So I put the ssc rears on today..so much easier when you've done them before. Took like an hour n half compared to before lol.
i measure before with the DNAs and the rear passenger was 28 3/8 n rear driver was 28.. No clue why they're different lol. both fronts with dna are 27. n now with ssc before it settles the rear pass. Is 27 1/4 n driver pass. Is 27 1/8. Still a little different. But sits a lot more even for now. Ill measure in a few days after they settle. Went to do the rear rotors n brakes n of course stripped caliper bracket bolts..any suggestions? So I just painted both calipers red to at least match for now.
some pics for nowww

At least it's not pouring rain with frozen snow on the ground like last time lol

Before with DNAs all around

After with DNA fronts and SSC rears

Yup, looks even now. Good job sir.

Haha thanks bro, i agree. i just measured n they're all 27" now. Lol I hope they don't go lower than the front but only time will tell.

Hey you wanted a suggestion on getting those striped bolts out, a friend of mine got his out by taking a Pinch clamp and clamping it on the bolt really tight and then hitting it with a hammer to turn the bolt. That was his cheap way to do it, took a while but better than buying the special tool for it when you dont have the money.

What's a pinch clamp? One of them wrenches that you adjust n clamp down tight? I had to bash with a hammer to get the fronts off but they didn't strip. Then I blasted the rears n tried the same with a little breaker bar n hammer n stripped them both. Ill mess with them another day n figure it out. I painted the rear calipers red for now but I wanna get the drilled n slotted rotors on eventually. Thanks tho I will give that a shot.

271/4 different struts maybe....pretty close...that what you meant?

I am duly impressed with your ride.
Kinda made my mind up on rims..since I just scored a job.
Probably go with some 19"TSWs since they work great on your car

yeah my struts might be getting old lol. Nice score on the job n me n pappas was talking about thw 19s a little. I think they fit the car perfect l, especially with the lower. That might be why ours are differwnt too, because of rim n tire difference. I love it thanks!

Also went n found a sweet spot for pics ill be uploading soon!:thumbup:

Little photoshoot, photos from my s3 n I have more on my g/f's good camera ill upload later when I get home. It sucks my shadows in most but they turned out good.
