SILVERCOBALT09

I got a 09 cobalt lt with the 2.2 liter and i do a lot of hwy driving and looking to get a little more pep out of it. I got a muffler just wondering wat other things i could do. I still got warranty but willing to sacrifice a little bit for a littl more hp and torque.

I'm a 2.2 too, best thing I found to do it upgrade to an ss exhaust, which puts your from our stock 1.75" pipe to 2.25" pipe, or you could go with a high flow catback whjch will do the samething. Also a CAI(cold air intake) makes a decient difference. With both of those your car will breath better, and get rid of the exhaust better. Plus it's a jumping point for other mods.

there is a ton of things that you can do..I recommend that you do some searching..there are a lot of parts out there...you can go simple or you can go crazy...depends on how much you want to spend. Start with the basics..intake, exhaust, header/downpipe, intake mani. After that you could work on the internals if you so choose..as far as brands of everything..just search..use google and youtube..find the sounds you like for the price that works for you. good luck with the build

Do NOT use YouTube for anything. How about the stickies in this very forum you are posting in.

I would do header/dp combo, cai, and a lsj catback with a trifecta tune. Could get all of it for about 600-850 depending on how you go(new/used). You'll see a good jump in power and a fun daily driver car.

How hard is it to put a header or down pipe on these cars

brickerenator

Do you have:

1. Patience
2. WD-40
3. Beer
4. 4 hours
5. More patience
6. More beer
???
If you do, not hard at all

those are good too..and youtube can be helpful..just use common since with what you are watching...there are some guys with good vids on there...just look around - all diff. kinds of sounds, just find one you like

Don't forget tools, and possibly a torch.

And you can never have too much beer.

What do yall think about kn cold air intake?

Mregan

Go with a KN or Injen, I got my KN for 145 used and it's great. It actually makes our little cars sound like they have some *****

drivernoverdrive

lots of good selections out there..the two above are popular... AEM is also another good brand...I personally wanted to be different and thats why I went with the weapon R short ram and I really like it...loud and proud

Yadovosky

Yeah i have a K&N intake and it sounds great, gives it a little more horsepower but I like it.

mrsilent13

a while back...you could find intakes on ebay for 45 bucks....not sure if those are still around...and then all you would need to do...if you want...upgrade the air filter to an AEM or K&N
