Here is my new to me 09 Performance Red GXP

This was from when the dealer let me test the car.

After I signed paper work I brough it home, cleaned it removed all dealer advertising and the front license plate holder.

Word, GXP sedans FTW!

What's the plan for it? Lots of potential from the LY7 under the hood.

thats one sexy car. Hammerhead it....now!

I hate the hammerhead, I may end up getting a 09.5 spoiler and replacing that one and using it on my fiance's 08 GT.

I don't think i'm going to do much to it performance wise, K&N drop in, tune, and GMPP exhaust. Just tired of dumping loads of money into cars.

GMPP exhaust is weaksauce. Magnaflow or go home. K&N drop in filter? Real CAI > K&N filter. Fact. Then a tune, and you'll have more fun too.

Thats all fine and well if thats what you would do, but this is what i'm going to do as i'm doing the car for me.

Excuse me for making suggestions. No need to get touche about it.

Chris is a little pushy, you just gotta get used to him and know how to handle him

As for the new 6er, it looks great! I've never been a fan of red cars but I think GM and Pontiac did it right with the reds they chose for the G6! As for your plans I'll just say with all that you have said you "could" spend a little more and get what Chris said. Either way this car has a lot of potential and will serve you well

Plus I agree on the hammerhead, I like the lip spoiler 10x better!

the 09.5 spoiler doesnt really do it for me, but thats just my opinion. I do have teh regular GT spoiler as an add-on like the one here, but if i could have done the hammerhead (mucho dinero) then i would have.

I personally am not a fan of spoilers on our cars, well the coupes lol but there are some exceptions like Joe's and I wouldn't mind the lip spoiler but I don't think I'll do that. For the sedan I think the lip spoiler is the only thing I like on it. I absolutely hate the huge GXP street edition hammerhead with the 3rd brake light in it. The small one Joe has is the best version of it.

Nice looking car dude! I just wish the grills were a bit smaller, but I'd buy one for sure..

Awww too bad it's not the Street Edition...

Looks good though, welcome!

Well I have been doing some research and here is what i'm coming up with for my new exhaust setup.

It's going to be all Vibrant performance parts.

Vibrant street power muffler 10633

Vibrant resonator #1793

2 Vibrant exhaust tips #1303

Info on muffler here.

Vibrant? Never heard of the company.

They build alot of decent quality custom parts. I used to have on of their exhaust systems on my 01 Cavalier.

oh very nice! great color. definitely post up a video when you get the exhaust done.

I'm curious too. A DOHC V6 has more of an exotic sound with the right exhaust, especially with headers.

the 60*v6 in genral sound pretty smooth

Pushrod motors, maybe. But the DOHC motors are a different animal from the LA1's we're used to, Tom.

Dare I say they kind of have a raspy VQ35 sound to them?

Oh me Oh my what do I have here???

I have some random boxes on my bed.

Lets open em up and see what is in them.

Nice! Whens install?

when I get some more money. I just wanted to make sure I had the parts for now so there is no issue when it comes time for install.

first, did you steal my blanket? second, nice. third, this seems like its becoming a progression. would you like me to move it there if it becomes one?

I'm gonna make a progression thread ones I start getting the goodies installed. I was just posted some toys in suspense for now.
