I like it! The only thing I'd get rid of is the gold accents if you wanna keep with the chrome wheels.

The fart can looks just like mine. I happen to like it myself, although it'll be changed to 4" next year (from the cat back!)

Nice car, not to sure if i like the tip on your exhaust. And the gold and chrome doesn't mix well(unless i am wrong also, and the emblems are not gold) Congrats on the nice looking car

I am in no way taking your comment as a flame, but I do want to respond to it just to clarify my reasoning.....

I have all 3" exhaust from the y-pipe back to a single out 3" Flowmaster (crap but it was cheap) 3 chamber with a 3" tailpipe on the drivers' side. I put a 3 1/2" stainless tip on it that has a resonator built in so it quiets it down at highway speed.

IMO i think it looks better than a plain tailpipe and serves a purpose of quieting the exhaust. Everyone knows that a crossflow muffler is outflowed by a single outlet design. So I get the best of both worlds- flow and a good sound while maintaining a nice tone without being obnoxious. If I want obnoxious I open the cap on the cutout.

Anyways let's please keep this clean. We can debate without starting a flame. Thats not what his topic was meant to be. He has a very nice car with the only critism being the gold/chrome mismatch. I think its nicely done myself

Feel free to look on my page for pics of the fart can :rockon:

But the rims could go.

I think the exhaust will look better with tips on both side....

I like the color, but I'm most of them when it comes to the rims. And double fart pipes on both sides wouldn't look good either, but its your car.

No. Im not sure about the years but you could get a hardtop GTA in 87. Makes for some lovely cracks in the roof after a couple of miles

I like GTAs. That split 5 spoke rim bothers me a bit. If they were deep dished, I would love them. The single exhaust looks unusual, but I bet it saves a couple of pounds and simplifies the exhaust setup.

ok thanx for the replies, I´m not i riceboy because i dont like rice i like american style. the fartpipe was i quick solution, it will be changed to duels soon, The wheels i bougt in the USA, i think they made the car way way more cool than stock. Everyone looks att the car now and i get kompliements all the time wich i diddnt get as much before. The wheels are 18" and the car is lowerd 2".
Here in sweden the trans ams and camaros are not very popular cars particuraly stock........... But i think they are the best cars you can get for your money........

The cars are pretty rare here in sweden,(very few people like the stock rims), its not often you see them, maybee its because gas is very expensive here, full tank costs about 60$.
Future mods are to get 50hp+ more, full exhaust, port plenum, afpr and more........

Lose the rice pipes. You have a GTA, an exhaust on that will say enough, no need for rice pipes.

Perhaps it's just me, but, I'm thinking that single exhaust setup is NOT rice.

Yes, I like duals much better. And I think that would look good with two of those. But, fart pipe? What the heck? Isn't what makes a fart pipe fart having a small displacement engine? I'm thinking his GTA has a V8, no? If that's so, I'm putting dual exhaust on my 86 Mazda B2000 4-banger truck so that it'll sound and perform like a V8!

If anything, having two tips is "rice" because we are "faking" having dual exhaust when we really don't. But, I won't go that far.

I just don't understand why having one tailpipe instead of two instantly makes it a "fart pipe". :: shrug ::

All thirdgens have a single exhaust, it's just that they have duel exists, which is not the same as a true duel exhuast. Technically speaking, thirdgens have dual exhausts, but not really.

I hate it when people take a perfectly good car and do that. Oh well, at least it's not something that destroyed the value of the car.

BTW, to whoever said they thought all GTA's were ttops or 'verts, not true. All the L98 cars are hardtops. You couldn't get ttops with a 350. A little too much frame twist.

That picture of Coleman and Hasselhauf is funny LOL everytime I see it.

I have seen more GTA hardtops than with T- tops. The only thing you could not have with a 350 was a 5-speed transmission.

Sharp looking car, I would get two tips on one side. It will sound better and flow better. The factory rims look great on the car, but the more I see those rims I like them more and more.
