2006 grand prix gxp custom downpipe video! well after owning the car for less than 2 weeks wifey decided to take the gxp to my buddys shop and have some custom exhaust work done,he ran a 3 inch manderel bent pipe (with a flex located where the oem one was) all the way back to the stock y piping that goes to the mufflers. So the cat and resonator are history, still has stock mufflers and maybe a foot or 2 of stock piping, also got some new custom tips as well (not sure if anyone else has noticed but the oem ones look restrictive by where the go into the mufflers).
anyway on to the start up and rev videos.

Next step is to get rid of that terrible piping after the Y. It's like all those gasses are hitting a wall.

thanks yea i only plan on the cutout because her or i can have it louder whenever we want and its cheaper than buying mufflers and having them put on, i will be tunning with the cut out open. so anytime racing or spirited driving is gonna take place just "flip the switch"...actually i think im gonna have it wired into the traction control button that way when i push the button i can kill to birs with one stone ...

Some of us race with traction control on. It's a more advanced system than the old throttle blades closing or timing being pulled. From my understanding our TC actually pulsates the front brakes to help with traction.

light acceleration in 2nd gear inside noise isnt to bad, would have stayed in it or went 100% if the roads wernt that wet

Most aftermarket cutouts you have to hold power to until they are fully open or closed. I'd just hide it somewhere clean on the interior.

if it "pulsates the front brakes" then why would you wanna race with it being on, i understand these cars can be a little torquey modded, but nothing that practicing launching or stickier tires or s proper suspension setup cant fix. for instance i dont know maybe a 275 nitto 555r up front lol

what tires you running up front, have you tried rolling into the throtle, instead of just loading up the stall and droping the hammer and hoping the tc system does the rest, i guess different things work for different people and im not knocking your theory in any way, i just think practice is key and i pretty much do all my racing on the street as a mattter a fact 98% of all my photobucket/youtube video are on the street (out in mexico on a closed course).

well ill keep you posted once i hit the track down here (used to be moroso now its pbir)...im used to fwd and tq steer believe me. best thing ive learned is jump out with minimal spin and roll into it till it hooks then nail it, thats netted me 1.7 2.0 60 times on street tires for my old eclipse that i had on spray and my srt. but man id love to hit the track with a built tranny, tranny cooler shift kit and some slicks, and spring blockers in the back that would be fun
