Damn guys... It's been a while.

No more girlfriend and the 6 no longer looks stock.

Here's a preview I guess.

Looks sweet! Why did you do a color change?

Okay guys.... Lol

That thing is just badass!!! I can't get over it!

Anyway... What I meant by straight pipe exhaust is replacing everything after the resonator. The stock resonator does an excellent job of eliminating any sort of rasp.

I have never seen a good looking 4G eclipse. Nor have I heard good sounding straight pipe that wasn't a V8 or turbo car.

Those opinions are relative.

The LY7 has a similar sound to the likes of the VQ35, ESPECIALLY with the Magnaflow setups. The FM80 I'd never recommend for a DOHC V6, only the LX9, LZ4, LZ9 and LA1 60*V6 engines which are pushrod (OHV).

Plus, straight piping it...say bye bye to all your bottom end torque, the car would feel sluggish under hard acceleration in low RPMs. It's not boosted, back pressure is your friend.

The whole back pressure thing is a myth. What takes bottom-end torque away is larger diameter pipe than stock.

That thing is an absolute BEAUT!!!

4G eclipses are terrible cars and should be avoided at all costs. In order to trade that for a good subaru, you'll need to save up a lot of cash.

Your car appears to be in good shape. Keep it looking clean.

I love 4G Eclipses. People over at Club4G know how to make it a tits car.

Car looks good.

3rd gen Eclipses are the POSs. 4th gens aren't so bad, outside of their weight. They aren't very troublesome and have a decent aftermarket.

I will say this, nab yourself a 6G38 powered Eclipse with the manual. They're fun for what they are, most aren't abused.

I work at a Mitsubishi dealership. I know.

That's the plan to get a GT with the 6G38 with the stock aero kit.

Don't "straight pipe" it. It's a street car. With that said, the LY7 sounds boss with a Magnaflow setup.

It's a DOHC V6, they have a distinct sound to them, and the right exhaust setup can give them an almost exotic sound to it.

I plan on straight piping it because I like the sound; I've heard it. Cops in my area are awesome, so I won't have any problems.

Whoa, whoa. Two different engines there Jimmy.

Mark had a G6GT. Had the LX9 or LZ4, I forget...but they have a WAY different sound than the LY7.

Plus, I recommended him the Flowmaster 80.

I don't like the sound of a FM80 on my car.

Welcome!

Go sedan!

I personally see it as a down grade to go to any eclipse, Subi it depends.

I love Eclipses... LOVE them! I like both Eclipses and Subies, but like I said I'll see what's out there when it comes time and how much spare cash I have.

Nice GXP! Any mods to it?

Personally I wouldn't go anywhere near an Eclipse, don't have any first hand experience but I've never seen a late model in good shape.

Subie's are nice depending on what you get.

There are some mods, but only two are performance-related, which is a CAI and intake resonator delete. I'll probably be getting a straight pipe exhaust in the near future. The rest are really visual mods.

Hello!

I thought I'd post a little something here. I don't have many pics right now, but I'll take some throughout the weekend.

My car is a carbon black metallic 2008 G6 GXP sedan. I think it's been an excellent first car, but I'm thinking of trading it in within the next few years for either a 4G Eclipse GT or some sort of Subaru. It really depends on how much spare cash I have at the time.

Here's a preview pic for now:

And yes, that's my wonderful girlfriend in case anyone is wondering.

Leave a reply for any questions or comments.

Thanks guys!

Nice GXP!

Thanks!

another G6P-er left the nest. welcome to my site.

Hey now, I didn't leave G6P. I just thought I'd join this site to meet new people! And.... Is this really your site?

Hello ladies and gents! Here to introduce the love of my car life (for now). I live in the La Crosse, WI area and I really don't like it. It's been so flipping warm and humid lately!

She is my first car and has been decently dependable. Let's just say I thank god I have a bumper-to-bumper warranty for another year or so.

I used to own a 2008 Grand Prix, but come to find out the dealer I got it from continuously lied about it being in any sort of accident. I have come to find that Carfax is an awesome tool. Long story short, the associate that sold me the car got his rear end handed to him.... Along with several broken parts from the front end. Then he gave me the keys to any car in the lot (up to a certain price point) and I fell in love with, what's now, my G6.

I'm a headlight retrofitter over at a couple G6 sites. I just completed my first like-OEM (same as OEM) retrofit yesterday. I also retrofit Eagle Eyes and Spyder Auto housings for my car.

I stumbled upon this site looking up forums on Tapatalk and I figured I'd stop by here! I hope I'll enjoy my stay here!

Nice to meet you all!
