Default Just bought a 05 GP GXP, why no mods?

i bought a 2005 grand prix gxp over the past weekend and have been looking like crazy for some mods for it, i know that the 06-08 have a short list as it is but the list for the 05 is almost nothing! any reasons why? or anybody know of a good intake for it, dont want to mess with the exhaust just yet but i do know they have a magnaflow for it, other then that what else is there? thanks

Only around 60K LS4 powered vehicles, not exactly the best number for companies to make aftermarket parts for.

Cold Air Intakes: K&N, Cold Air Inductions, self made

Exhaust: MagnaFlow full catback, self made

Lights: Chrome headlights, Chrome LED tails, Smoked LED tails, Red LED tails

Hoods: pfyc's Inferno

Spoiler: pfyc's Inferno

and the 05s is the same as the 06-08s.

There are plenty of mods for the 05. JP's right anything 06- 08 is the same as an 05 except an intake manifold and some throttle bodies... I think... I have an 05 take a look below. Oh, and welcome aboard.

TB is only different in the 08, I believe. I figured I'd left a few good things out.

Also, welcome to LS4tech.

I would make sure the alignment is good, check tire wear, and see how old the battery is first. Intake, exhaust, then get a tune. Rockers, valve springs, pushrods can be upgraded too. It all depends on what you want to do.
