Dual Mufflers 2009 Chevy Impala LTZ

How can I best hide the appearance of the dual mufflers as one views from the rear of the car? Some have told me to have them painted black. Others have said to put on a rear air dam. The rear end of the car seems to tilt upward and to me the mufflers are an ugly sight. Read More...

My car is actually better handling in snow than it is in a rainstorm. The Federal ... Read More...

I'm considering a 3.9L 2009 Impala LTZ but I haven't seen too much on what real world drivers are experiencing with the newer (2007-2009) vehicles.

I'm also curious about your experience and thoughts on Chevy's Active Fuel Management ... Read More...

"Hello all, Sr. Citizen now (sure does sneak up on you) and need a new car. Presently driving a '97 Buick LeSabre which have really liked. Lots of little problems over the years, but nothing major.
