LOL!

Okie now that this topic has been de-railed to the maximum, i have just one more question.

I'm starting to get more $ each month now (thankfully) and i'm looking to put some cash into the car, more than i have already at least. Is my next step doing exhaust work? Such as a U-Delete or a DP ? I was leaning towards the muff removal, which isn't really performance just for looks / sound.

I do know there are countless threads (i think) about beginner / first mods, but what should my next step be?

I wouldn't bother with a Ubend delete. its not as big of a deal on a GT as it is on a gtp. Save up for a downpipe, if you buy a good one, it will come with the high flow cat, and it already has a U-bend delete built in. that is how min was anyway.

why spend $80 (guess) for an exhaust shopt to put in a Ubend and then later buy a downpipe?

Not everyone does, but its a really common theme over on clubgp. Randall seems to know what he is talking about, I'm sure he realizes that a turbo will destroy a transmission

Is it me or is that tubing just bottlenecking the entire setup? Get wider tubing and bigger filter and try to bend at not such an angle..

If you can afford a turbo kit, you should be able to afford a built trans too.

I've been to every hardware store in town, literally .. and i dont think a 60* PVC pipe exists .. i was fully commited to changing it but apparently not lol. would a smaller 90* pipe with a straight one towards the fender THAN the filter be better??

Well here's what I see most guys go through 2-5 cheap home made setups then eventually spring for a decent setup,so just pick the intake you like save your money and do it once and move on to the next mod.Chico(pops)

Go with a 45* bend. I can get one and ship it to you if you want.
