gmpp intake

went ahead and installed me gmpp intake tonight. it was a breeze. the combo of this and my gmpp touring catback is almost orgasmic. it sounds so good i wondered if god works for gmpp. just took some quick camera phone pics but i have the day off tommorow so expect vids. honestly, im so impressed with gmpp right now its incredible.

bought through my dealer, i get everything at cost as my family is fairly loyal to them and we do alot of business there. the gains were definately noticable. if you dont already have it, i also highly reccomend the catback.

i honestly wouldnt want the performance. i like the subtlty of my car and dont want it to be ass ridiculous. i also spend alot of time on the farm (out of my friends about 80% are from the country) so i would definately get beaked six ways to sunday if my car sounded ricey. i hate the cackling most exhausts make. mine has zero.

exactly what i thought too! i think the performance is borderline for me when it compares to magnaflow or corsa catback noises, the touring is by far my favourite i heard the price for those exhausts are going up too.....sucks that i cant afford any of those anytime soon

I've been wanting the gmpp intake for a little while now but I'm broke, I was thinking about going to dealer and asking for a better price, I see you're in Canada and I was just wondering what price they gave it to you for? (I bought a small part from my dealer once and when the guy told me the price I was like are you kidding?? and he said yeah I know hang on... and then he gave it to me for cost) So I wanted to know what price I'd be looking at before I went in, I don't want to walk in and ask for it at cost and them say yes and then find out it's only marked up 2% and look like a douche bag because it's still out of my price range... thanks for your help.

The GMPP intake & Touring exhaust are an awesome combo.
It's definitely something you wouldn't regret.

do you guys think it'll have more gain if i take out the intake resonator? since it's breathing through the stock bottom of the airbox and that seem the greatly reduce air flow.

Put a scoop on it! Check out the link in my signature for dyno numbers of stock, GMPP intake with stock hood, and GMPP with scoop.

haha i saw ur project a while ago! i really like the idea but i dont think i'll ever drill into my hood! I also considered the RK sport hood but i think it will look out of place without a body kit.

btw did you have tuning done at the time of the dyno?

I was running stock tune. It would benefit from tuning for sure based on the A/F curve we were seeing on the dyno.
