GBodyParts Announces 3-Inch Stainless Steel Downpipes for 1984-1985 Turbo Buick.

The Buick Grand National is one of the most coveted collector cars going right now. From its all-black appearance, it’s easily modifiable engine and its stealthy soundtrack, it’s still a force to be reckoned with open the street, especially when the right selection of parts are applied. One of the modifications that can be attributed to providing the most performance gain, is a 3-inch down pipe.

There have been several options available since day one — for the 1986-1987 cars. The intercooler engines provided better consistency and more performance thanks to the factory-installed intercooler. The earlier ’84-85 Turbo Buicks weren’t equipped with an intercooler, but there is still plenty of things to be done to bring them up to stuff with today’s performance levels, and then some. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a solution for the need of a 3-inch down pipe for the “Hot Air” cars, until G-Body Parts brought them to market. These things are so hot, and so needed for that niche, that they’re selling out fast! They’re also available in three option packages, that include with or without an exhaust dump pipe, and with or without an electric cut out for the dump pipe. More info and direct links below.
