Well just ordered my first mod for my balt! the gmpp performance exaust with the straight tip! total of 440 shipped from crate engine depo! great price in my opinion! i cant want to get it on the car!!

 

You will love it. I love it on my 2.2LT. It'll scream from 3k up to redline! Nice investment if you ask me!!!

 

That's the same that I put on my 07. It sounds great!! It's pretty easy to install also, if your doin it yourself that is.

 

it looks like all clamps to me but i think theres some welding to do especcially when takin the stock one off i thought, and i have no access to welding probably gonna have a local Midas or something put it on the day i get it

 

That sounds like a great deal. I am thinking about that same combination on my car when it comes to exhaust time for me. Let me know how it fits and sounds so I can know when I get mine.

 

there is zero welding involved on the installation, and you would NEVER weld something to get it off...

 

so whats involved?

 

no welding needed.. you'll have to cut the old system off, and the new one should bolt right on.. if you plan on doin it yourself, take your time to line to new system up.. there may be some tweekin required on the new one. you'll love it..

 

very simple to install..i did mine myself....the sound is awesome

 

I have the exact same setup and i literally have the best sounding 4 cylinder in the area. Let me also recommend the GM honed exhaust manifold. This will make it sound even better!!!

I beleive a member of this forum actually dyno'd a 12 hp gain to the wheels just from the GM catback exhaust alone!

 

I cut mine just before the rear end. Ya reuse your rubber insulators and just bolt up the new. There's no welding. Everything just clamps together. it took maybe 20 min total.

 

it's very simple... unbolt the old exhaust, and you have to cut it to get it over the rear axle... you'll see where because it won't come out otherwise! you can use anytyhing for this, a sawzall would be ideal, but you could use a hacksaw if needed...

once the old exhaust is off, put the new one on, SLIGHTLY tighten the bolts so that they'r eholding it in place, but don't full tighten yet. once everything is lined up and good to go, work your way back and tighten all the bolts. that's pretty much it

 

12hp from a catback? Seriously? That's pretty unheard of, the stock exhaust on the SS must be crazy restrictive because a cat back is typically just a noise maker.

 

Sweet setup, I want to do that too one of these days...that's a damn good price too.

 

well that does sound easy enough!! only hard part for me now is getting under the car

 

For $30.00 I got a hydraulic jack and jack stands for the install. Can't go wrong there.

 

I second this^^^

 

Yeah, for god's sake use stands and do it somewhere nice and flat. Or you can find a muffler shop to put it in on under the table for you for under $50.. crawling under the bitch can make for a shitty day if it starts getting wet/cold outside..

 

You'll love the exhaust, I have the GMPP Sport and I love it. Easy to install like everyone said above as well. Let us know how you like it!

 

well today was cool, i met a guy that has a garage right down the road from me! and i didnt even kno he was there till my friend mentioned it, stopped by and it was great! his business is called Custom Automotive and Restoration, he was working on a vett and mustang when i got there! so he's gonna let me use his lifts and give me a hand with the CAI when i get that too! seems as if all my mod installs just got a hella lot easer W00t!

 

I actually jus ordered myne last night. Should be here thursday.

 

you normally have to know someone to get **** done under the table , and if he knew someone i dont think he would be asking those questions

 

lol. I own a garage with a car lift and everything.

 

when I put mine on I had to use a hack saw and that totally sucked. But other than that it was almost to easy. I think I have a slight leak.... but I dont really care cause I think it sounds better that way anyways lol

 

w00t its sittin here- good service from crate engine ordered it monday afternoon and its here on wednesday- standard shipping can't beat that

i hope i dont get an exaust leak tho lol . i gotta tell this guy thats doing it not to use an air wrench thats all that i read in the instructions.

but the guy ive found actually does bending and stuff right there on the spot so i HOPE he knows what he is doing and doesnt try to make the install harder then it is cuz it does seem real easy after readin the instructions, like i said before my only issue is just gettin underneath it sooo. not much of a choice to go there

w00t!
