I agree it's loud at times, but I love the tone.

Oh and I will have my used one for sale this week sometime if anyone is interested. It's 6 months old in great condition. Asking 225 plus shipping. That's about 100 off list.

the silencer is a little baffle you put in the tail pipe. It uses 2 thumb screws. can be done in less than 30 seconds

Yeah its pretty quiet with the Baffle installed although I've never wanted to keep mine on since I tried it out shortly after I purchased it new. Good looking exhaust though!!! One of the loudest exhausts I've heard from any Cobalt when the baffle is removed....

Hey guys, I have a 2008 cobalt ls manual and all it has is spark plugs and a cold air intake. Will this still make the exhaust louder? I really do plan on buying one but I would like a couple more opinions before I get it. Thanks

haha alright that's what I'm looking for deep tone loud and not ricey! Thanks guys for the quick feedback!

Just two more questions tho, where did y'all buy it from and the ss supercharged cat back system will fit the 2.2l right?

I just got mine from NGAmotorsports on sale for $295 shipped. And it fits the 2.2 well. The end of the tip stops just short of the bumper, so it doesn't stick out too much. It hangs a little low before the rear axle, so I'm not sure about lowered cars. Any ideas on how to fix this from others?

Yea, it's a nice & deep tone, I can feel it in the seat. As for loud, I set car alarms off eariler in a parking garage. My neighbors all have harley's so they don't say much. Just go for it, you won't be dissapointed.
