tint it. and post pics. i'm about to tint mine as well. its a 97. black. i'd like to see what its going to look like. i don't mind the rims, but its not really my thing, i've always been in love with wire wheels so i might be going with some daytons for my car. either way, looks nice.

how dark are you going to go? i had 5 % on my jeep and didnt get messed with by the police, but i think now that i have a caddy with wheels they might f*ck with me so i think i am goin like 20%...

and CadillacETC1997 what kind of exhaust is that?

custom cat back made by me at my job at an exhaust shop. she netted a dynoed gain of 11 hp with my exhaust.
pair of free flowing johns performance exhaust mufflers (full boar) 3 inch pipeing to a 2.5 inch y cat. total cost for me was 180 bucks, and 80 of that was for the 2 new chrome z/28 camaro rectangle tips on the back.

niiice! how much would that cost me if i were to take it somewhere to get it done...considering i dont work at a exhaust shop? haha and what about magnaflow or flowmaster? do you know what kind of sound either of them have on a N*?

my buddy put a set of flowmaster on his 97 ETC and mine blows his away and his mufflers cost more lol, i get him every time at the strip too. If you were to have it done prob around 3-4 hundred but its about the best hp and torque mod you can do to the N*

i'm doing 5% on the back five windows for now. its illegal to have any tint on the fronts and my buddy just got a ticket two days ago for having his fronts barely tinted at all. cost him 110$ for the ticket. so i'm kind of sketching. if i get a good price to tint the fronts i might end up doing it, but for now i'm just doign the back.

Looks tight, what year is it?

firstly,
it is a 1997 STS...and thanks for the comment! (95ltc)

secondly,
luckly around here you can do 35% on the driver and passenger sides and no limit on the back, and normally around here they dont write tickets they de-tint your car with a razor blade haha..so i think by next week sometime i will get 20 to 25% all around..pics soon hopefully.... but be careful when backing up at night with 5% it can be a bitch haha but it looks super clean i loove 5%...(97blacksts)

thirdly,
i think that the way you did it sounds great and maybe within a month or so i can have it haha $300 kills my pocket book and paycheck especially when i am a poor college student haha....but props for the sound! (CadillacETC1997)


ps sorry for the long post but its better than 3 seperate from me haha :)

i put the exhaust on they are single chamber flowmasters not quite as loud or mean as yours but its more of a mellow tone and i like it, when u put new exhaust on did it throw your service engine soon light? cuz mine came on but im not sure if something like that would cause it...:confused:

Jsun
September 16th, 2006, 11:26 AM
well i took it to my friends comp...and it was the TP sensor so i fixed that and we are all good it was just weird that it came on within 12 hours of putting exhaust on there ahah btw did you get your tips from a junkyard or what?

ahaha thanks, i'm really happy with it.

and as far as the uncleanliness goes, its somewhat embarassing. hahah. but after i posted this picture i realized that i needed to wash it more than i originally thought. so i took it out and cleaned it up today. i'm having it detailed later this week. some idiot at the cadillac dealership here thought it would be a good idea to run a power buffer over my car when it had a thin layer of dirt and he left some nasty swirls in it. they show up horribly in the sunlight so i'm getting a guy to polish them all out for me later this week. i'll post some pics afterwards, i'm really looking forward to seeign it after that.
