The guy had it since like 2008. And didn't hardly drive it anymore. And wanted it to go to someone who would appreciate it. I told him I've owned 6 other GTPs, so he was happy to sell it to me.

The title said he bought it with 53k miles on it. So he only put 9k on it 15 years. I've driven it 5k miles already, in 8 months

Have a white GS Regal. Nothing like Jake's monster. Like driving a sofa. Very comfortable. Had to replace cup holder and visors. For a GM very reliable

I'm a Buick guy in general. Have a 69 Lesabre Convertible for a fair weather cruiser and a 70 GS as my daily. Need a Grand National and a Regal GS to complete the set. I've also tried to run down a 95-00 Rivera, but not luck over the years.

My buick was so dirty that it was embarrassing, so I got her cleaned up today. Final pic was the day I brought her home, with 300lbs of bondo and 100lbs of weight reduction from rust. I don't build show cars, but it ain't bad for a moron with a mig welder and no paint booth.

Saw a Roadkill Garage episode where they made 274hp from a supercharged SBC. That's about 30 more than I expected, props to SBCs and their potential.

Just got done installing Speed Engineering true duals last weekend. Holy f are they loud and drone.....

I saw your post in the Speed Engineering thread to put spiral inserts in so that's what I will be trying.....

You don't find the spirals to be to restrictive?

Finally got my old junk tuned. It's running out of fuel so there could be a bit left in it. This was pretty much a baseline. It might pick up a little with a few changes.

Installed J- pipes in my Speed Engineering True duals and it eliminated ALL of the drone. Very nice true dual system.

Awesome. I have that same system. I feel like I have no room for anything like that under my car.

Sometimes changing the exhaust tip has a drastic effect on drone also......cause it's all about the tip😃

The one on the passenger side (right side of Pic) fit great. Has to relocate the drivers side (left side of the pic) to run along side the trunk bucket in the back... (Let me know if ya want a pic of it). It interfered with the torque arm travel. (Big oversight by me).

This whole system fits VERY well imo, just need to put a little effort into it. I was reading through the big Speed Engineering duals thread and there are a lot of guys in there incapable of remotely helping themselves thinking something like that should fit amazing with no effort or skill.

I'm lowered and have a bit over 3 inches of clearance

If you have any drone I would highly recommend it. Literally all drone is gone.

My j- pipes are 25" long and 2.5" diameter
