Cant believe my "cheap guy" good fortune

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

Cant believe my "cheap guy" good fortune

Post by Backhoe »

So when I lucked out and picked up a 2000 GTP L67 motor and trans a few months ago, it also came with, what I was told, a dual outlet GTP catback with some fair condition oval tips. Now I'm aware the two platforms are different, W-body vs H-body, but I was fired up when I slid that puppy under my LSS, and with the exception of fabbing up some hangers in the rear and extending the front end a couple inches, it follows the same route as my factory single run setup. I did notice the pipe diameter on the Y-pipe and the others appear to be smaller than the Olds, but I didn't realize the cars would so similar underneath. I plan on pulling the LSS off the road after I get back from my vacation and running the LS daily, so I guess exhaust will be on the list of "to do's" now, and honestly I think it's gonna look pretty sweet! The only other one I have seen with duals was that Barret Jackson Olds from a couple years back, and that looked niiice!

There is always the possibility the mufflers are shot I guess, fingers crossed.
