Cheap Modifications/Upgrades

[GrandPriest24]

What are some things i could do to my 2002 pontiac grand prix for cheap to increase horsepower and also noise?

[Matt Palm]

if its a 3.8 dont do exhaust. look in the visual mod sections do reading in there a lot of stuff to take in. most common is tint, inlays, and someother stuff. make sure you read this though

No i have the 3100 sorry for not mentioning that

[Matt Palm]

oh some will say the 3.1 sounds good with some mufflers no need for a cat back really. but personally im not a big fan of exhaust on these cars except the gxp

[dpzelenak]

then you never heard a 3100 done right,

to the op what are you looking to spend? how far you looking to go? basicly get a 3400 tb, make an intake, headers. if you want to go further then theres 3400 topswap, 3500 topswap

[GrandPriest24]

as of now i have a magnaflow high catalytic converter and a flowmaster 40 series muffler and dual tip exhaust to be honest it sounds really good check out my video: 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix Exhaust - YouTube

[GrandPriest24]

I will spend as much as need i'm looking to get headers next

[Matt Palm]

id say go to a junk yard get the front and rear fascia's off of a gt or gtp along with the side skirts.

[GrandPriest24]

I'm going to get a body kit soon actually

[Matt Palm]

please no

[GrandPriest24]

why not? it's not going to be like a tuner car touching the ground

[dsmuts]

If you want it loud just unhook the catback and run an open downpipe.

[Matt Palm]

i mean its your car. but ive never seen a good fitting body kit except the ones seen on west coast custom

[Slick2500]

Matt he has a 02 he doesnt need the front bumper all gps after 01 had the same front bumper.
And do not ruin the car with a ****ty body kit. Just get the gt/gtp rear bumper and side skirts plus the dual exhaust cat back get yourself another flowmaster 40 and another tip.

[GrandPriest24]

First i'm looking for more performance instead of looks

[Matt Palm]

how fast do you wanna go

[GrandPriest24]

I mean as fast as i can go i'm not short on money i just want to be sure what to get first

[Matt Palm]
