The major restriction with the stock GS catback is the single muffler, not the piping. A stock GTP exhaust will handle 300whp and i won't be anywhere near that even after the pulley swap. Most guys don't touch the catback aside from removing/replacing the resonator until they are pushing a lot more power...unless they just want to make a lot of noise.
All aftermarket exhaust systems sound like @ss on a 3800. Many people have clearance issues with a single 3" exhaust
and it sounds like @ss. The only way to get close to what i paid for duals with similar performance would be a larger single aluminized pipe to an aftermarket muffler, which would rust
and sound like @ss.
musthavemuzk, my tips are welded, not clamped. My bumper inserts will not fall off in cold weather. Many guys use double sided tape which is why their inserts fall off as the hot/cold wet/dry cycle degrades the tape and adhesive. I used PL polyurethane construction adhesive. If you are not familiar with this product, let me tell you, my bumper will come off before my inserts do.
Pretty pathetic that they didn't even leave a note or anything. But yeah, that adhesive has certainly been tested tough!
