GMPP Cat back installed W00t!!!!

Just got done last night installing my GMPP cat-back...The thing was a breeze to install...Mind you I have NEVER done anything to a car but it is very self explanitory. I took some video and pictures of doing it and once I get some time I will get them posted....

The thing sounds awesome too...Not ricy at all. Again once I get some time I load up some good before and after sound clips....

As far as performance go I did not really notice an increase for the in town 40 MPH driving, however I did open it up on some back roads and once I got in the 4,000RPM range I did notice a little bit of difference....A little more Power. I am definatly happy with the purchance.

yes but you would most likly have to weld the ss exhaust to the ls...in ordered to get the stock exhaust off you have to cut it...go with the gmpp its got a great sound..really deep not ricy at all

I could not be more satisfied with the GMPP Sport Catback. The thing makes me want to drive my car for hours.
Also Tom at http://crateenginedepot.com will run another group buy on these pretty soon. Keep an eye for the awesome deal.

I'd like to hear the GMMP touring version because everyone seems to have the performance version and if I ever changed the exhaust on this thing it'd have to be relativly quiet.

course werent you watching? we both did high spead 1-2 shifts in each comparison. it isn't some fast fly by, we were comparing the daily drivability of the exhaust. I cut the volume a bit cus damn if I hadn't you woulda thought your speakers were too loud.

in the last clip I didn't launch fast cus I saw a cop and thought I shouldn't go to fast but the cop had a talk with us anyway and we got kicked out of the park we were at.

Cool, I wanna hear it now because I would want it as quiet as possible. My first car was a '91 eclipse that my borther had before me and he put a fart can on it and the interior resonance drove me insane not to mention I'm not fond of the sound of a 4 cylinder.
