I like my ZZP. You must also swap out your stock 195 t-stat with a 180 and run premium fuel with an aftermarket PCM. https://www.zzperformance.com/grand_prix/products1.php?id=182&catid=107 Since you have a catback. Get rid of the u-bend. That will really wake your car up.

http://www.pfyc.com/store/graphics/new/wb5001.jpg thats what the u bend is .... and you could go to a auto part store and buy the 180 stat for cheaper, since theres no shipping

For a GTP I would spring for the overkill pcm but do your mods first then have him tune for them.

dp downpipe,u-bend delete will add about 5hp wereas if you buy say a ZZP dp it will eliminate the u-bend,you should do a little research before you start on modding!
