GMMG for 75 bucks back in Feb. Best find in a junk yard. My second best was an SLP lid for 10 bucks. Perfect condition. That was back in July.

junkyards are fun. Even if your not really looking for anything. I grew up near those junkyards in Newcastle

I salvaged an entire bolt in turbo setup for my saab, but then I sold the saab to pay for part of my car. That would've been nuts. The saabs used the same exhaust bolting mounts, so the 2.0T would fit on the 2.3 n/a and then you could turbo them. Ive found a complete ratchet/socket set once, other misc things.

Negative. Stock headers and cats but in the spring I'm getting LT's and high flow cats because I hear the GMMG sounds like *** without cats..And yes, it is loud even with stock exhaust. Above 3000 rpm it SCREAMS!

Honestly I would never have paid retail for the GMMG but for 75 bucks and 89 to install plus 35 for rolled stainless tips it was worth it

i had to get a new wind shield wiper pump motor for my old 85 firebird. i could have ordered one for $240 from my machanic but went to the junk yard and found one there. i took it out and up to the service desk. i told the guy i only needed 3 or 4 of the screws that held it on, so he sold the whole thing to me for $4. i went home a happy man.
