repin' 2.2L LT/LS

much love for the 2.0/2.4....so dont get me wrong.


i have a 2006 silver 'balt 2.2L LT.
i have installed:
aem cai (whichs makes a nice growl on acceleration)

future mods are as follows:
gmpp perfomance exhaust system w/ angle cut tip
gm honed exhaust manifold (group buy here on ss.net)
downpipe w/ hi-flow cat (from cobalt-addiction.com)


..so i'm up for questions, comments, suggestions, opinions.... just whatever...

Welcome to the Forum from a former 2.2 ECOTEC owner

If you need any questions answered, just ask away.

Depends.

What are your plans for the future of your car? How long you plan on keeping it? How much money are you looking to invest? How deep do you wanna go as far as power?

That's just a small amount of questions I could ask you for starters...

I'm more than happy with my 2.2- plenty of power for a daily driver, good looks, and IMO fun to drive. I never thought I'd be happy with a small car but I love this one!

actually i just wanted a LT with a little more ***** than it came with, but as an everyday driver... i'm sticking to bolt-ons and i'm not gonna rob a bank to make money for mods... its not like crack to me... LOL.... i'm 27 and since i was a car owner (at the age of 18) of a1997 chevy cav i kept it 5 yrs and traded it in for a 2002 yellow chevy cav LS sport with all the fixing... then 1 year later i realized i was 26 with yellow car... i wanted a car that i would keep until it dies.... which is my LT... if i can get up to 200hp.. i'd be happy...

http://www.hahnracecraft.com

i emailed them about the header and down pipe for my 2.2L.... the response was that the shorty header and downpipe with or without a cat will fit a 2.0/2.2/and 2.4

the header is pricey at $499 and the down pipe at $429... if u have the cash... by all means.... go for it...

You sure it wasn't a turbo manifold?
