sandyman Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 The GT500 is very quiet. I don't like loud either, so I put on Flowmaster axel backs. Great sound when you floor it but quiet enough to get out of the neighborhood without upsetting the dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraegar Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hey guys, what about UCA / LCA, to eliminate the wheel hop? Guess it would depend how often he plans to really try and launch hard. But with all the fuss that's been posted on it, figured I'd ask. - Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrichard Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I'm thinking along the same lines as kraegar, so my highest priority mods are: UCA Tune CAI I don't know enough about suspension to know if I should get LCAs... In any event, after these mods, then maybe exhaust and gears depending on how things sound and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
