Hey, welcome to the community and nice find. I think you will find just about everything you need to know about DSMs from this site. For the front end conversion everything bolts on the same. You just need the 97-99 front bumper, and headlights, and foglights if you want them (most fmic kits won't allow you to keep them). Simply take off the 95 stuff and put the 97-99 stuff back on. The plugs for the headlights will be different though and you will want to rewire them. The blow off valve for these cars are recirculated from factory. Your not gonna want to vent to the atmosphere without a GM MAF and a MAF translator. IMO don't waste your money on the greddy exhaust just get a 3" stainless steel catback from ebay. You could even get a good downpipe too for for far less than just the cost of the greddy catback.

Ebay cat back kits are pretty much exactly the same as greddy dont waste the money same for the down pipe!!

Nice find. I have a 95 gst as well. I have the greddy ti-c and love it. I haven't had the ebay one so I can't speak on behalf of it. The greddy sounds and looks amazing. It has the burn tip and it is cocked to the side a little. The midpipe that meets the cat does downsize to 2.5 but from what I have heard, most of the exhausts do. However, it comes with the 3" flange. Just cut off the inch of pipe that downsizes and you are good to go with a 3" downpipe. I actually haven't even changed flanges and it seals up nicely with my punishment racing downpipe. It is a very nice piece. Eliminates the cat and is only like $125 i think? Spools the turbo so much faster. Look into punishment racing. They are an awesome company. I have their intercooler kit as well and it allows you to keep the foglights.

ok cool so what ## saying is that the greddy exhaust steps down from 3inch to 2.5 to match the factory midpipe? i want a full bolt on 3inch exhaust i was invisioning the 3 inch greddy exhaust mated with like a 3inch mid pipe, am i going the right route?

No lie, ebay with the exhaust, downpipe, and even intercooler and radiator. I just ordered a cat-back exhaust, and let me tell you... 3" is SEXY
