I know you guys might think I'm crazy, but I want to cut off my Borla mufflers and put on some 40 series...I had them on my 2000 GP SE and that sounded a lot meaner than my GTP...

I highly recommend NOT driving with out some kind of tip stickin out the back of the car. I took a small ride without tips and the sound was nice for bout 5 mins then the reverb started to mess with my ears. Put the stock tips on for now and no more reverd inside the car. Before the sound was trapped inside the bumper cover being amplified big time. The tips move the sound out beyond the body. smile

I did that when I had my F/M's put on. Reverb was soo bad, and loud too.

someone posted not too long ago that we hadnt heard from you in a while Herc!...even then we speculated that you were out driving around listening to the new "music"...I know where you're comin from...now I cant wait for the chance to get onto the highway...I slow down on the entrance ramp just so I can blast to about 80...I roll through the neighborhood in the lower gears just to hear it rumble...I even let it run at the gas pump sometimes so I can listen to it idling while I fill the tank (yeah I know, thats a no-no)...I tell my wife all the time, "now it sounds like it belongs to me!"...painted the wheels today too...man does that bad boy look lethal now!...oh and GdGTP, if you aint happy with your Borlas and you have the bucks, change 'em dude...enjoying hearing your car every time you drive it is worth it!

I wish I did have the money...but I'm about to buy headers, so...ya know and I need to tires pretty soon (and those aren't cheap for 18's) But, I could afford it if someone were to perhaps...BUY my Borla...Only been used for 2 1/2 months...Still very shiny...I'm just not so partial to the sound...Some F/M would be so great...

40 series eh! I was thinking of those or the 50 series. I was thinking that the drone would be too much for the 40's. Sounds like it is for you too. Do the resonated tips help alot. How much drone are you getting with the tips?

I put the stock tips on for now there is some mild drone nothing my stock stereo can't overcome with a mid level volume setting. And it's just the sound I was looking for. I am much more aware of RPM changes now without having to look at the tac then I was before.

Well i figured it would work because the same SLP cat back for the 97 fits the 04 according to grandprixstore.com ??? i wouldnt see where there could be any variance between one bolt on cat back to the next becuase they both are 'bolt on' that are designed to fit the same car. Input on this?
