Was looking thru Ebay and noticed this:

Me and a buddie of mine here at work own 08 Cobalts now. And were wondering if this actually works? Do you recomend something else? Im not very great with knowing all the ins and outs so I appreciate all your imput.

Thank you,
Devil

A cold air intake will give you a slight increase in power and give you a couple of mpg. (If you can stay out of the throttle. ) A cat-back is good as well, but that is a little pricier.

HAT, thank you now thats a post i need to save. PINNED in my FAVEs.


Ok so we are talking cat-back. Sorry for not understanding but thats the exhaust from the catalytic converter back right?

If so, I was also thinking of cashing in for the performance package from GM since i get a discount. Or do you all recommend a better Much Cheaper one. I heard borla is good however I like to keep quiet if ya know what i mean.

BTW i did install the Cold Air Intake and Hwy im about an average of 38, City (well dont know yet i keep racing it) stupid sound.

Thank you again

yeah cat back bolts up to the d/p behind the cat. i would say magnaflow but your wantin quiet not loud so basically you need to get a gmpp performance ehaust since it dont make a whole lotta sound. thats the only one i know of that isnt on the loud side.

Cool. Which cliff? Closest one to me it the Grand Canyon???? Thanks we have established that.

LMAO. still a good post. Ill let my friend know and see if he gets it. thanks


Thanks yellow for the messages and your help. Thank you cobalters for your input and saving me some money. Now i need to shop for the GM exhaust with cat.

Im glad a case of beer with the mechanics is a great payment.
