Naw… Not a big fan of the fart cans… I got bored and cut off the muffler, replaced it with a straight pipe and a tip, just so it doesnt sound like its electric, but I was thinking about Buying the GMPP exhaust… I dont think inspection techs like when a car gots no muffler. ---

yep…agree but to the dude with the G5, enjoy the car for what it is. they are decent little whips, for DD’s. unless you are on some mission to build the ultimate sleeper, i’d say just have fun with the G5 and dont worry about it not being that fast. ---

Here’s my idea… Everyone stop raggin on everyone elses car. Damn, you drive what you have. Tuners such as our friend GreekPower make their cars fast by building up the engine and adding boost. Muscle guys build the engine and add a tiny bit of boost. Exotics, well hell… they usually don’t need mods in the first place. Same outcome with all types though… big horsepower, high speeds, and all the bragging rights they could ask for. I mean, there’s a civic out there that’d eat a vette and something that’d eat that civic. Now I’m gonna go play Forza 2, and wish I had my own fast car. ---
