    Names Zak, I just bought a 97 GT with about 98k on it, saw this site on google and decided to join up! I'm about to buy a new stereo head unit and some subs/amp and was wondering what you guys recommend? Also what are some performance mods that you guys reccommend i start with? I think I'm gonna do a K&N filter and cold air intake first, what should come after that?

    post in the audio section about the subs and such, you'll get more responses that way.

    hes saying that the 97 models all have weak transmissions but were replaced with any 98+ models. so before you start getting into any heavy modding, you might wanna replace your trans with something more recent (4T65E i think its called). but yeah, welcome!

    what hes saying is if you want to make the car quicker get a plog, ( replaces front exhaust manifold) a downpipe ( exhaust pipe that strecthes from rear manifold to cat.) a cone filter ( or any new intake, search on here you can make your own for cheap) hv3 insert ( im a gtp guy, dont ask me lol) and a tune for said mods. doing this will make the car quicker. but if you want to build a "fast" gp you should look to replace your transmission as the 97s had weak trannies

    you may want to look into headers rather than the dp/plog as they are cheaper and better ( idk about on a N/A vehicle, do some searching)
