ok i havent been through the grand prix forums in awhile…i remember something about a u-bend delete.i wasnt sure if there was a pipe out there that can replace it or would i have to buy a pipe and bend it and get it welded in.and also i remember that a 97 was difficult to find a CAI because i guess the collant bottle was in the way…is there just a cone filter that drops in place of the air box?for now thats about it…with me driving it i did a 15.02@91 with major traction problems at PRP and my dad ran it last weekend and discovered the tire pressure was 38 psi all the way round so he dropped it to 28 and turned a 14.86@94 still with traction problems but not as bad. thats not bad for a stock 97GTP with 113k on it

the pipe is crushed down to about 1 3/4". it’s a big restriction
iirc jeff made bolt in pipes for a couple guys around here
