He build a stage 2 milzy motorsports 3400 grand am... he also was one of the first serious modders of this generation so the costs were more as the parts weren't full production yet ...
This is what he is referring to is how times have changes and the prices for modding these cars have dropped considerably ... my alero has just under half of the.mods Paul's grand am had yet 13 yrs later it has only cost me about $4000 total vs the original $25000 he shelled out

The ld9 is also cheaper for parts as more platforms have used it so the modding base is a greater group of people so more parts are made and readily available... with the 3400 there's 3 options... Mike, Ben, or dyi..

He was a milzy supporter back when mms was first starting up. From my understanding paul helped get mms up and running by wanting to mod his car through him. And the grand am sounded like flippin sexxxxxxx


And yes. Not much support for the 3400. And is pricey.

Pacesetter makes an exhaust system for the alero.

Well yea....obviously. 98% of the people on here want more horsepower. When you start modding though you want to make sure it sounds good too....unless you don't care that the car will sound like a riced out civic then go for it. Most of us on here want a nice sounding alero too... Like someone said earlier in this thread.....buy a nice muffler (do some research on what sounds good with the 2.4) then bring it to an exhaust shop and have them make you one. It'll prob be a tad more expensive than that pacesetter but it'll sound better and probably wont rust as fast as that pacesetter will. I was the first one on here to use that pacesetter exhaust and it actually sounded pretty damn good on my car (BUT i had the 3.4 so there's a big difference). That exhaust lasted me like 2-2.5 years of daily driving then it started to rust pretty bad. So i went with Borla (yes...i overpaid....) and i'm happy now

Guys, at 41 years old and the road Ive been down, I would never blow smoke up anyone's ass... believe me. I was the first customer to Milzy Motorsports to install everything he had to offer. Before me there were a couple of guys that bought things here and there, but I threw the kitchen sink at it. There was no such thing as an exhaust when mine was built. The car spent three days in an exhaust shop in Toronto having the system fully custom built. That was 70 bucks an hour, 10 hours per day. It took them an entire day to figure out how to get a 2.5" pipe over the rear arm without flattening it! The rest was the ridiculous price that stainless cost back then. My suspension cost me an additional 4 grand. Getting corvette hubs, designing the set up, and welding to grand am spindles, was worth more than you probably paid for your entire engine build. I am no kiddy here my friends. My calipers were 500 bucks a pop and brake pads cost me 600 bucks a set... so yea, Ive been there, done that.... My SCT carbon fiber hood was the first one made by CF tech... now 600 bucks, then 1,500!! In 2002 I bought Firestone Firehawk FZ50EP's, 2200 bucks for them to pass me four pieces of rubber, not even installed! You guys have it easy now with these cars. That is and was my point as Tim said here.

I was giving Lyndon(The Wolf) crap tonight for never being on the boards anymore. Told him not to be such a stranger around here! He has it now. Sent me a couple of picks a few weeks ago and it still looks amazing.... I sure miss it
