The Pypes are awesome, except when I hit DoD, the it sounds like I have a massive sub hitting. That's the main reason I want to disable DoD, that and around here it doesn't kick in enough. It's flat, but rolling and always slightly increasing in elevation...

Nice! Congrats on the purchase....I need to add one of these to my collection! In the mean time, I love-hate you all.

Only reason I would ever want AFM is the potential mileage gains with a good tune. Jerry said 30+. But that being said I'm glad mine's an LS3.

When my friends GP GXP still had DOD we put headers on and ran open till he took it to the exhaust shop. It's fun cruising in 4 cly mode then opening it up to scare the crap out of people.
Any way get a tune as soon as you do DOD delete, if not you will seize the engine, which sucks a lot.
I'm not sure what my favorite color is on these now, i used to like the blue best, but your black one looks sweet also. Good luck with it.
(Gonna go be jealous now

From the sound of it he would just be turning off AFM with a tune. No cam swap for now.

Nice find, Ed!! You will enjoy that car!
One thing I learned this past weekend at the Michigan Meet, other members with G8's (mostly Kyle) can be bad influences!

Kyle and Lane are bad influences to me, and I pass it on from there. But then again I never have been the voice of reason when it came to car mods.

Very nice, Ed! You'll have to bring it by some time so I can see it in person! I've already told you my potential next car list, so you have to persuade me back to the light side

I have yet to ever have our LS4 go into AFM mode when I drive it.

I don't think you ever have little enough throttle for it to engage Lane.
Nice Ed. Super jealous.

Now that our resident post whore has bought a G8, I think now would be a good time to change the name to Pontiac G8 club
Nice ride, Ed.

No wait, come back!
I still have a Bonneville. And if you count H/C/W bodies all together they way outnumber G8s.

I feel that Bonnevilles still outnumber G8's though. Unless there are way more G8's than I realize on here...

It's silly to discuss... there are like 10 G8's on here... outnumbered by hundreds of Bonnevilles.
Anyways, Ed, where are the new pics?? You can't use that crappy cell phone pic as your sig forever!

JOKE:
1. something said or done to provoke laughter or cause amusement, as a witticism, a short and amusing anecdote, or a prankish act: He tells very funny jokes. She played a joke on him.
2. something that is amusing or ridiculous, especially because of being ludicrously inadequate or a sham; a thing, situation, or person laughed at rather than taken seriously; farce: Their pretense of generosity is a joke. An officer with no ability to command is a joke.
3. a matter that need not be taken very seriously; trifling matter: The loss was no joke.
4. something that does not present the expected challenge; something very easy: The test was a joke for the whole class.
5. practical joke.
