I forgot to say mines a WS6 6 speed also. But I have the flowmaster 80's series. It's sounds pretty good. Not too loud at idle but really screams when u punch it.
Dude I have a black 2002 with 16,000 miles on it. But those purple ones are rare as hell. Hold on to her man she'll pay you back handsomely in 20 -30 years.
I have a 98 Firebird, v6, and am trying to decide on aftermarket exhaust. (Flowmaster/Magnaflow/Loudmouth) I have really gotten into the prices, but that doesn't concern me at this time.
I'm looking for something that sounds mean, and not incredibly loud at low rpms.
Very beautiful color, I've seen pictures of this car you had put up.
Beautiful car man, glad to see ur not ganna do really anything to it..... im doing a 402lsx swap on my 2000 v6 in a few months and i cant wait till its finished lol
so am i right in thinking 98 was the only year for bright metallic purple. and there was me thinking of trading in my modded 78t/a. 78 gold se or 98 purple hmmmmm?
i thought there was 12 purple ones made, nice either way thats rare i love that color and then they couldnt sell purple so navy blue metallic took over thats the color i got now there both nice colors
It growls I love trans ams I have a 2001 trans am I bought new and now it needs a new motor it just died 2 mos ago. I am so sad but I am about to have the motor rebuilt
You really don't know much about F-Bodies or GM in general, do you? It's not going to be any harder than it is now.
LS1 motor (really easy to find)... T56 tranny (super easy to find)... suspension that was in both the Camaro and Firebird relatively unchanged for almost 20 years. Pontiac disappearing isn't going to change the availability of spare parts at all.... CHEVROLET still exists... and anything Pontiac specific hasn't been made for almost 7 years.
Nice car dude, I'm seriously considering dumping the magnaflow muffler in my catback system for an SLP muffler, I have a 2000 SS Camaro, and I just think the SLP sounds so much better.
Very beautiful, I love that rumble sound. I don't blame you for not modifying it aside from the exhaust I wouldn't dare touch too many things on something that rare, beautiful car
damn thats good bet you get good mpg i wish mine was a m6 but i had no choice and had to get the a4 with 2.73s. and yea they should come with 4.10s deferentially. i think they come with 3.42s right? by the way love your car sounds nice and love the color
oh and one more thing! my car has a stock gear and it bogs bad!! need to get that 60 foot time way on down.. i dont wanna go to low so i was wondering if u think the 4.10 was a little too low or not im not sure what to get.. maybe a 3.73 let me know what u think !! THANKS!!
Nice car but to much talking during this video. Just like music during a dyno tune video thats a huge no no. Let the sound of the engine do the talking for you.
Depends on if you want to drag race it or not... If you're going to drag race, automatics are cheaper to maintain, and easier to make fast, not to mention more consistent... otherwise, I'd say get a M6. bear in mind that a M6 is much harder on the weak rear end of an F-body, and tend to go through clutches if you hammer them a lot.
Dumping the clutch, and hard shifts. It puts a lot of shock on the drivetrain that an automatic car doesn't. The rear ends in these cars are kinda weak, so they break easily.
You don't HAVE to, but if you're going to be taking it over 3000 rpm, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. It does not make sense to blow up an engine over what amounts to about a $3 to $4 a tank difference.... if another $4 a tank is going to break you, you can't afford the car anyway.
the 4 speed auto has so many TSB's on then they cant handle the power of the ls1 and they take a shit... i would go with the t-56 6-speed, handles a lot more power, a lot more fun to drive, better mpg...
good vid...and FULL boltons wil put an LS1 in the 340-360 range...so u think an air kit gives 20h.p?...after headers and TD's im @ 335rwhp...math math math...tsk tsk tsk
Changing the air filter itself isn't going to give you a 20 horsepower increase. Changing the air filter and the lid (on ram air cars) can offer you a gain of around 20, or installing an entire cold air system on non ram air cars can offer close to 20hp as well.
Been there, done that, didn't get 20 hp. There's nothing about the lid on a ram air car that is different from a non-ram air car.. it's the same damn part! Again, quit believing everything you read, and quit commenting on things you know nothing about!
yeah me too, i have this friend who has a friend who has a friend who has a friend who might know a guy whose cousin has a friend with a car that would kill this one.
Everyone has some damn friend. Unless YOU have it, SHUT THE HELL UP. No one cares about someone else. Your imaginary friends don't count either
Yeah Domman56 can't always believe alot of what you read about K&N they are better but not always as good as they say. And actually on LS1 motors i have heard from Performance shops that K&N isn't the best choice so its to each his own and what they choose. But your not going to gain 18 or 20 rwhp from an air filter change
(A) How do you know there isn't one on it already, and (B) Do you REALLY believe you're gonna get TWENTY horsepower out of that? LOL!! You'd be lucky to get 5 hp. Maybe if I put some K&N stickers on it that will give me the other 15 hp.
Um dude.. I've had three of these cars and they all had a K&N filter in them, and they didn't gain 18 horsepower from it. Don't believe everything you read.
Yeah, I should look into it. LOL Actually you should look into my profile and see I have two of these cars. I'm not going to modify a 1-in-10 WS6. Sorry, man. Can't say I'm really buying your story there, either.
Nice car man. I just bought my self i 98 T/A and i dont even know if im gonna modify it at all. Its pretty fast as it is stock.
