Here's some REALLY OLD pics......
This Grand Am actually use to look like THIS! wow haha...notice my custom GUTTERGARD grill!?
BEFORE PIC of the exhaust- UUGGGHH! (yah, that's black bar is part of the TRAILER HITCH!) hahahah
cut off my factory tips...because I will have them
re-installed them on my new exhaust.
Like this......:)
The tips are aluminum and are held on with stainless hardware and a couple of spot welds.
Here's a full pic of the 700 dollar cat-back I had made for my car that actually HIT, yeah directly TOUCHED my rear bags!
NOT COOL.....ending up having to cut it off in less a year and 1/2! That was unfortunate but I ended up having it REadapted to fit my '92 GT in 2004! Niiiicccce. (see pics of THIS exhaust on my old HIGH OUTPUT GT in the 1992 GA's page)
Here's the only few pics I have of it while it was on my Red 1996 Grand Am.
ONE-OF-A-KIND-ALL-STAINLESS-CATBACK!
Even the welds are stainless. Along with the hangers, and every nut/bolt used on this exhaust.
Def got rid of the stock resonator!".......
Notice how the factory tips were moved back about 1 and 1/2 inches more than factory making them just about flush but slightly sticking just out past the rear bumper....
& even though only a real GA enthusiast notices that >>>>>>>>>
ANYONE and EVERYONE notices how good it sounds!
NICE location for these.......
And yeah, my exhaust was 2 inch tubing, same as factory w/o the all that unneccesary back pressure.
...I know everybody thinks that BIGGER is BETTER when it comes to exhausts....
but REALLY it's worse> unless you have A LOT of mods under the hood.....
and most of the guys who think BIGGER is the SHIT, DON'T have these mods, as I DON'T have em either!
If you have an intake, and splitfire plugs, 3 inch exhaust plumbing will NOT be beneficial to you at all! LOL (I talked to a lot of mechanics/people about this)
This exhaust is 100% STAINLESS piping with HAND-MADE GLASSPACKS. My glasspack mufflers were made with very thick, hi-grade, 4-inch stainless tubing. Inside of them are drilled baffles that were wrapped lightly with some fiberglass to keep it rich and mellow.............
I LOVE it, and it def turns a lot of heads!..... especially since I had my factory tips put back on, after I had them professionally polished........
...It's a lil sneaky and I like it! huuah huuah haaa harrr harrrrr! :)
to CORRECT the above statement....
"I DID love it."
Here's a couple of pics right before I painted my brake calipers (withOUT removing them! haha) Turned out SOOO nice too.
BEAUTIFUL
