Don't have it, never heard of it. What kind of issue are you having?

mandrel exhaust systems is a good company. some people on here call it mes but ive heard nothing but good things about fitment and quality.

3" is serious overkill for a 2.2. Buy an SS factory exhaust from an SS owner who has upgraded. You should be able to find a complete exhaust for $100 or less.

agreed, then chop the stock muffler off and add either a magnaflow or dynomax muffler.

2.5 inch max for NA motors or ur just killing power

Or just leave the stock muffler, it flows well and has a nice deep tone.

ps.........you don't need a 3" exhaust on a car without a turbo unless you're a ricer

^ is that your car? site says the exhaust is for the cobalt, not ion. not sure if the length is different

EDIT: nvm, saw they had a different one for the ion. guess thats a bad one

olivecj

its still a bottle neck though, i noticed a difference in flow with my dynomax muffler. But yes the stock ss/sc exhaust is preatty good overall.

I was actually referring to the T/C exhaust, which should be even less restrictive than the S/C exhaust.

dont even bother with this company, this exhaust leaks, doesnt fit right, is too short, and is just plain shitty quality. im not the only one either. and when i told them and even showed them pictures of how **** the fitment was they said it was my fault becuase my car appears to have a body kit on it. yet my car has the STOCK SS kit.

if i have problems ill just throw my stock exhaust back on and return the other one and buy a different one any suggestions for a new exhaust if this one isnt good

Well crap.....not to TJ but I'm looking into the 2.5'' system myself. Who else has had fitment issues documented by this company? I know it's fairly cheap, but I'm leery of wasting 140 on a part that doesn't fit right........
