Cobalt SS 2.0 parts to Cobalt LS 2.2
Hey guys. I just got a Cobalt LS 2.2 and my brother has the 2005 Cobalt SS 2.0 Supercharged. I was just wondering if any of his parts would fit on my car, such as the exhaust. Until the funds become available I want to put his stock exhaust on my car, becuase he has a Borla on his now. Would I be able to do this? Do they match up or not at all? Thanks!

I've noticed that the muffler on the 2.0 and the 2.2 LTZ Sedan is the same, except for the tip. If you look closely the only thing that changes is the inlet of gases going to the muffler is slightly bigger on the SS. Whoopie..
Most parts should bolt right up, the 2.0 = 2.2.

I'm old school
All of the SS suspension parts swap. The wheel hubs are obviously different (4 vs 5 lug). You already know about the exhaust. All body panels are interchangeable. All interior parts are interchangeable.
The powertrain is a different story. But I'm guessing your brother doesn't plan on pulling that out, so you shouldn't have to worry about that.

Hey guys, I just went to the dealership and asked about the exhaust, they said that it cannot be done. The reasons why were vin numbers wouldn't match (not a big deal to me) and that the cat's on the two cars were different and the emmissions would be different, so it can't be done. Any suggestions? I still want to do it, as long as it does not mess up my car, and as long as I can still keep my warranty. Thanks!
