Thread: Not blessed with a GT/GXP

Im not dead set on anything just yet, just trying to make my car look a little better. I know taht the 3.1's are gutless and all, but i tell ya, it started this morning @ -45 degrees, and i've been dealing with the 3.1 since i was 17 so i know the motor pretty good and have no intentions to do much to it. My boss has told me about an upcomming exhaust job that hes doing on a GT and im just trying to make up my mind to keep the y-pipe or have him junk it...I'm at school, otherwise i'd already know whether it'd bolt up or not.

You may be able to make an "adapter" to make the other exaust fit. It couldn't be that hard to do if your just going to for the look and to get it done cheap.

I agree if you got the shop at your disposal go for it. I swear if i had a shop to use i would be way more modded by now

Well, on friday i went to the garage, to change my oil...well up here in new york we get snow, and the DOT lays salt on the road...and the salt gets on our cars and corrodes the hell outa them. i got to looking at the flange for where the new resonator and ypipe would connect, and found that it is damn near gone. With that, i have decided that when i get my taxes back, im buying the U-Bend delete pipe, new resonator and ypipe assembly and 2 raptor mufflers from flowtech.

As far as visual comes, im going with 2 x 4" exhaust tips, buying the GT rear bumper (and possibly the side skirts, havent decided yet). New Rocker panels are in line, and a new paint job after car is fully debadged.

I know alot of you think im nuts for doing this to an SE, but the way i look at it is i can learn to paint, and place body panels before i get my GXP.

And besides a good looking car is always nice when your 21

I went to the walker exhaust book at work, and if i take the Y-pipe off of a 2002, it will bolt right up to the stock flange on the cat. The 2002 3.8 single outlet uses the same resonator and tailpipe assembly number as the 3.1
