Default Exhaust Vid, pics, Eibachs to SSC
I know some of you don't like my paint and I respect everyone's opinion. My GXP is the only like it in Pittsburgh. I ahve been to over 30 cruises and shows this summer and every old gearhead and young person has liked my car. Here is my exhaust vid Magnaflow, del. res, 3" downpipe, and pics of my car with Eibachs then SSC springs.

sounds good man...

but-cha got the rasp... should'a left the resonator on.. there's no restriction from it anyway, it's a straight through pipe...

and... I do like your paint job man... maybe not the big GXP on the sides so much, but the 2-tone paint job I do like... nice job!

Yeah he effed that up I'm changing it in the spring something more aggressive lettering wise and SMALLER.... Paint is Midnight Grey Met. front faded to Titanium Grey Met. rear. Oh, and I'm putting a Classic Chambered muffler where the res was and cutting off the Mags.

Yes it is but I think about is this way. The LS Camaros and Firebirds were actually a 346 but everyone says 350 so I didn't see anything wrong with saying 327 from 325. Close enough for me and closer than the 346.

Having a little prblem with squat but it may be because of my sub box and 2 10s sitting on top of the rear axle. When I go to the track next weekend, I'm taking the box out so I will take after pics. Decent ride seems to sit flatter in the corners than the Eibachs. I pulled a .90 with my Eibachs have yet to try the SSCs.
