    Hey whats going on people. My name is Jason. I'm married with 4 kids. I live in Rapid City, SD. So I owned an 09 Chevy Malibu which was totalled by a drunk driver. After searching around for a new car I landed upon a '08 Grand Prix GXP



    I have always wanted one....I absolutely LOVE my car. It gives me the stylish look with plenty under the hood. Haven't really done anything to it yet cuz I had to shell out MORE money to buy it after just buying the Malibu so kind of broke but eventually this year I want new rims and to lower it a bit. Going to definitely redo the sound system at first chance. I dunno gonna see what other things I can do to it without having to get another job lol.

    Anyways off to browse the forums!

    OK so went over to my buddy Trevor's yesterday morning and did the exhaust swap. Already did the intake and have an HP Performance Tune.
    Start out with the old


    Exhaust dropped...

    Old Exhaust vs New Exhaust

    The old tips vs new....amazing differance.

    Carl welding away..

    Trevor with the grinder...after we had them tacked up we realized one tip was sticking out a little more than the other....so grinding away we went.

    Exhaust up..


    And we ended up doing a full cat delete..sounds ****ing ridiculous. Video doesn't do it justice.
