Yo I'm from the twin cities, but go to school in Eau Claire. I'm wondering what you guys would suggest doing to my GT? I havent done anything to it yet, but heres what Im thinking: cutout valve, take out U bend and res, air intake, tips, High velocity intake insert. Does anyone have any of these things for a good deal??

cutout valve? if youre talking about an exhaust cutout id highly suggest not doing that. it will be nasty loud and sound like crap. you might get .5 hp out of it. id probably leave the resonator on it too, or replace it with a bigger one (i have a glasspack on mine).

otherwise your list looks alright. on top of that id add modded 1.9:1 rockers, powerlog and ported rear manifold, and a 3" downpipe (this will take care of the u-bend too if you want to save money).

Thanks for the reply.

My buddy has a cutout w/o res and w/o u-bend and it sounds BA. I'm mainly looking for sound from those things. Why leave res and what exactly is a 3" downpipe and how would it save me money, I dont really know alot about this stuff yet.

a cutout on a v6 is going to sound ugly at all rpms except idle. so do it if you want, but its going to sound nasty.

leave the resonator because it will be raspy without it. a 3" downpipe is bigger than the stock one (connects the manifolds to the catback) and it would save you money because if you buy a bolt in style then youd take care of your u-bend delete at the same time.

So just a 3" downpipe will be pretty loud? (my stock isnt at all)

^am curious 2 with just a dp!

no, the exhaust will just get a little more throaty. loudness comes from taking out a cat, resonator, mufflers, or changing any of the above to high flow applications.

oh yeah, steer clear of flowmasters unless you like hating your own car.

^is a dp worth the money then on our cars?

yes. that is the most restrictive part of the exhaust outside of the ubend. next is the stock manifolds.
