Default DM1’s 2015 GT build *from the very beginning*

Wanted to start this thread because I feel like it would benefit this section. Also would like to have as many pics as possible in case I were to lose my phone. I’ll try to update it daily.

August 2015. I purchased this comp orange premium 2015 GT in automatic..

After about 6 months I felt like I was ready to add some power, car was fun but felt restricted by tune so I picked up..

Stainless power longtubes headers to pair with GT500 mufflers
JLT intake
Lund ngauge with tune

Along with some hood struts and lowering springs.

This is a sound clip of the car with only GT500 mufflers

This is the car with longtubes, stock resonator and GT500 mufflers

And this is a short pull with the new mods, difference was night and day

After almost a year I decided it was time for wheels. Went with Velgen VMB7s, 20x10 our back and 20x9 up front.

Next up, a must do mod for all S550s, a gt350 steering wheel.

After close to a year and a half I needed to add more power. I found a hell of a deal on a Procharger kit that had never been installed, did some street tuning and went a couple times to the track running 11.3-11.4 consistently. At 125ish.

Decided to change the exhaust up a bit. Went with a resonator delete xpipe and magnaflow mufflers to make the gt350 valance work
