@Michael M back in my monte carlo days there was a guy that rattle canned his front bumper of his 7th gen ss and it looked fantastic. I think with enough prep and taking your time you can make it look pretty nice.
Thank you! I actually just got rid of those tips and went with factory style turn downs, but kept the Magnaflow sound. I kept the Magnaflow tips though, just in case, I'm on the fence as to whether I like them or not haha best of luck on your car!
My Magnaflow system I put on my 85 TA is fairly loud, I chopped out the cat and also installed hooker competition headers and hooker y pipe, I also dropped in a crate motor, SP350/357 from GM and I paired it up with a built TH350 trans with 3000 stall converter and the car rips now. Did a bunch of UMI suspension upgrades as well.
I feel like having headers is probably a large part of that. I'm without cats and mine isn't quiet, but it's also not loud. It think it's pretty close to perfect for what I was going for. That sounds like a fun build!
I have a few of my cars in a 35x20' storage unit (in this video) and then keep whatever car I want at the time at my home garage, roughly the same size.
Thanks! I'm with ya.. when I had my quad tips I was in the same mindset as I'm in now.. "new and neat" but after a few months I went with the dump style.
@@RamblinGarage yeah, indeed. From the perspective of time, it is better to do subtitles, give engine sound as main soundtrack and meanwhile a video/slideshow on how it's done.
Happy spring! Glad as always to see another Firebird video. I am looking forward to restoration videos on the Grand Prix.
Happy Spring! I'm excited to see if I can clean that thing up for reasonably cheap!
@@RamblinGarage I'm curious on both stopping the rust and the rattle can paint job. I have a hood I'm debating spraying myself.

@@RamblinGarage I hope so. I'll let you try it first.☺️
Very clean bird... I have a 87 with the same type of tips...swapped the 305 for a 350 and doing cosmetic work next spring i love 3rd gens...

It'll get like 35% louder over the next 9 months or so.
I hope so! By that time I can decide if I want to go catted y pipe or no cats.
what kind of garage are you using

I would prefer the factory turn down tips myself.
I think I'm with ya, I'm just going to try it for a bit and see if these grow on me.
@@RamblinGarage I prefer the stock look
Beautiful car but for me the tips have always taken away from the beauty of the GTA and look out of place.

The best exhaust on these cars,....
It's a little quiet for my taste, but hoping it opens up a bit! I wish they made it in 304 instead of 409 stainless.. but I'm getting picky. lol
Bullshit ends at 3:40, 10:42,
That's a lot of bullshit.

@@TransAmDrifter I'll be looking forward to seeing your video with your GTA and Magnaflow exhaust in that exact format 😀
