Default Gxp Question

What up all? Just bought a 06 GXP with 50,000 miles.. I know high mileage but needed a better daily driver I had a 04 GTO. Brand new to the LS4 world and was wondering some good mods and where to get them at. I have found it difficult to find any online dealers that have stuff for these cars.The only sight I have found is summitracing. Any suggestions would be helpful. Not looking to go that big mabey a catback and cai.


Thanks

Welcome, I'm up the road in AA. Catback and CAI are the big two. The trannies on the GXP a little on the weak side, so if you want to heavily mod you need to replace the trannie first.

For mods, Magnaflow Catbacks are solid and the K&N CAI. I think SLP was going to make a CIA but I never saw it make it to market.

Does Flowmaster make a universal muffler I can get. I was thinking of straight piping the resonator and just changing the stock mufflers for flowmaster.

Look through this entire site and you'll find out where to get all of your parts from. Listen to my man. Beef the tranny up some or replace it before you start being rough with it.
