Just looked at Pontiacs website at the G6 which replaces the GrandAm. I just
found out the G6 GT dosnt even have dual exhaust! Like the GTO, pontiac
designers still dont get it. Anything with the letters GT in it we want to
see 2 big pipes coming out the back on each side! If we wanted something
with 1 exhaust we would get a Civic! Pontiac wakeup! Not only that, like the
GTO the G6 is nothing much to look at! Whatever happened to the styling
department at Pontiac? They must have taken an early retirement and Pontiac
ended up hiring a bunch of scabs.

There is only one pipe from front to back.

Yeah from a design standpoint it makes sense, if one pipe is good enough to
take it from the manifold all the way to the back of the car, then why split
it at the end and add a second muffler, more piping, and thus more weight.

Lets see, on a v6 there is a right and left side exhaust manifold depending
on which way you face the engine or you could say a front and back if you
want to get technical. In standard cars they run 2 pipes leadig into 1 pipe.
On the gt/performance cars they go fron 2 into 1 pipe then back into 2 pipes
with dual outlets unless you are running a true dual exhaust. Who wants an
American performance car with single exhaust?

Well, if they go from 2 to 1 back to 2 it's pretty much the same as having
it as 2 pipes leading to one. One day you should follow a GP with dual
exhausts or any car really with 2-1-2 exhaust when it's cool out, notice
that there's more smoke or condensation coming out of one exhaust then the
other (on the GPs it happens to be the driver side too if I'm not mistaken).
If you're really going to get picky it should be like on the GTO one pipe
all the way back for each bank.

Who in the hell can call a V6 powered, wrong wheel drive, single exhaust car
an "American performance car"?

The G6 is nothing more than a grocery getter. Just like the current Grand Am
is now.

Ford put GT on a 4-cyl Escort. Its nothing more than marketing. GT nowadays
stands for "Garbage Truck".

I put in a vote that the new "GT" cars stand for "Genuine Turd". That may
be an insult to turds however as they can at least acheive 1G of
acceleration on thier way out of ones ass falling into the toilet water.

What year did they do that?
