Rivi
The Riv doesnt have the U-bend. But it has the whole 3 muffler dual exhaust. It has a little muffler inline with the cat. Ive been wondering if the dual exhaust Pontiacs have the three mufflers? I dont think so...
I have been thinkin about taking out this third Muffler and going the Cat/testpipe route. I have been trying to find some one who has done exhaust work on their Riv, for some advice. Maybe the stock rears are too restrictive as well? I dont know. I wouldnt doubt it, they were probibly designed mostly to keep things super quiet. That car is so damned quiet, I tend to get tickets be cause I didnt know I was going 80.
Also when looking for a Riv you wont see a ton of them. Since the base model comes with just about every GM feature possible, you will see some which seem to be fully loaded. Look for one with 16in alloys, sun roof, and (depending where you live) heated mirrors/seat. I really only cared about the alloy rims. The base model rims are this icky metallic grey, looks like the Aurora. I had planned to buy the car and immediatly upgrade the rims but I got lucky. add 2-4 grand for a black one. subtract 5-7grand for a metallic salmon or metallic mint, haha.
