Hey guys,

I've been lurking the forums for a little while and figured I'd finaly register and get involved! I drive a 2006 Grand Prix GXP with 48k Miles Or 78k Kms for us canadians. So far for mods I have a custom intake with HKS super power flow filter (i was big into boosted imports and this was by far my favorite intake set up) and i also have custom muffler delete into 3.5 inch quad tips. Just this weekend I picked up the new Diablosport InTune and am running the 91 octane no DoD tune, so far so good!
As I mentioned I was big into boosted imports and some of my Previous cars were a 1989 Nissan Skyline with a bunch of mods, ~300 rwhp. I also had a 1992 Toyota Aristo (Lexus GS300) with the supra 2JZ GTE engine, quite a bit of work done to it as well ~420 rwhp. I live in Edmonton Alberta and work at a Chevrolet Dealership here. So if there are any other users form this area I can get some decent prices on parts! Anyways I look forward to learning as much as I can about these cars as well as contributing to the forum!

Thanks For reading!

Brandon

They are Vibrant Performance Part # 1331 3.5" Dual rolled tips. They look great and do a good job amplifying the exhaust note.

Yeah It's something you should be able to get through your local parts department. i'll check the price tomorrow and see if its a better deal if I buy it at cost.

Thanks for the nice words guys!
