how about i just add another lb of boost and completely ignore that extra bend in the exhaust

because at some point when you turn up the boost you are only going to be blowing hot air and making no more real power.

you are acting like the exhaust is going to be making a 180* turn. it's one slight 45* bend

on a subie its 2 turns one of them being almost 90 degrees. On the cobalt you have to go over that rear axel thing. I haven been under a cobalt since I did viks exhaust which about 8 months ago but if I remember right it wasn't exactly the best for flow

Looks awesome man! And sounds good too. I can't wait to get mine done now, hopefully within the next week or so... I still can't decide on the angled look or not.... Humf.

Alright guys, I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with my exhaust here... Let's say I bought the piping listed below and then used the muffler I already bought, how well do you think that would work together? will the new piping bolt up to my factory header? or would i need adapters and all that junk...

Or should I just buy a full cat back exhaust and then use my own muffler? Like this:

i personal haven't used the mandrel exhaust systems kit, but i hear it fits like ****. i know that doesnt help. i would be tempted to buy that SPS kit and cut the muffler off.

Alright, well I just bought this exhaust system just for the piping and then im going to cut off the muffler that comes with it,
and install the one that I bought separate. It should sound pretty good!.... hopefully.
