Because I don't, and won't drive my SS in the snow.

My current winter beater is getting driven to the junkyard in a month or so, and I'm off to purchase a new vehicle for daily/winter driving.

I've thought about it a few times, came real close to selling her back in 2012, but glad I didn't.

I search around e-bay and other sites looking at Cobalt SS's for sale, and realize I'll never find another one as mint as mine.

That helps if you ever get the itch to sell your car.

I've been in mine a hair over 8 years. Still love it as much, if not more than the first day I drove it home brand new.

Superbolt, the car is running fantastic! Pretty smooth for the most part, very fast, feels pretty balanced right now.

After driving it again for a while ive remembered a few things... Rear calipers seem to stick a bit so the car can stop itself when going 2mph, 2 of my wheels are pretty bent so most speeds make it vibrate alot. And still dealing with a header/dp leak.

I just picked up the fix for that from ups though

Thanks!

Yep replaced my header and dp yesterday. Used some permatex ultra copper high heat gasket maker in the process. Finally (after YEARS) my exhaust sound Mint*. No shitty tapping sound on startup, no constant hiss while being on, no crackly hissy nonsense while driving, it even shuts down sounding better!

I did downgrade to a zzp midlength with a 400 cell cat opposed to the 200cell i had before on the longtubes. But so far it just sounds worth it.

You replaced the entire header because of leaks? You couldve had the flange milled

N2M could have had the header/dp flange welded together. But i'll leave that for whoever buys the setup, respectively priced at $964.99. Comes with an FMSR sticker.

Nome of your exhaust needed to be welded together. All it needed was the flanges to be surfaced since they were warped to crap. That duct tape wasn't going to really help either.
