BTW, I hardly notice a difference now that the resonator is off. It seems the noise level is what it should have been from the factory.

I couldn't let that deal go so I jumped on it after contemplating the trade for about a week. Overall so far I'm happy with the car, it pulls pretty damn hard in 1st and 2nd.
I was also spoiled by the gas mileage in the Accord, I could drive the **** out of that thing and still averaged 24 MPG. I've been driving the GXP with the cruise set at 60 MPH and the instant mpg seems to show a constant high 20s/low 30s so i'll let you guys know what granny driving does MPG wise for this car.

Any other forums specific to these GXP/LS4 vehicles?

Thanks!
