As some of you know I wrote off my 09 ss a few weeks ago. So naturally i was going to get another. Its a mint condition 2010 coupe. Red. 64000km. Put 235 40 18 SP Dunlop wintersport SD's on the stock rims. Grips very well. Its completely stock except for the K&N CAI. Sounds like a friggin jet! I would like to put a catless dp on the stock exhaust then a mild 22psi tune from trifecta. Any thoughts on this? Clutch life?? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

 

You can get a highflow cat dp and still have the power level you're after while keeping it legal. Just a thought. Other than that congrats on the great purchase!

 

Hahn?

 

Sure, if you like paying top dollar for the same parts. I always recommend ZZP because they have great customer service and great parts. Plus, they'll send you a prepaid return label for your stock downpipe for $50 in store credit.
ZZPerformance - LNF Stainless Downpipe #ZZ-LNFDP

I bought my CIA catless downpipe local for $200 and then added $300 in V-bands and a highflow cat, so right at or above Hahn MODpipe price. Wasn't worth it, I should have just had a hi-flow cat welded in.

 

Get a GMPP clutch, charge pipes, intercooler and High flow cat downpipe and HP tuners tune. You will be happy.

 

Nice! I'd go catless.

 

no need to get a clutch imo until you need one. trifecta 22psi tune wont be over agressive. Know how to drive within the limits of your tq curve and your stock clutch will last.

Pending on what you want done first.. Id see Powell and get sway bar, and cabs, and rotated mounts. Mounts should be the first thing. After that its a crap shoot . Pick and choose as your budget varies.
I personally didnt like just a catless DP, i had to get a muffler to get rid of the rasp. BNeing 2010 emission testing isn't needed until 2017. I plan to have my car in "hotrod" status lol before then so i wont have to worry.


Be nice to see another tc out this year on the streets here in Ottawa.

FYI hpt all the way. See SSkev in burlington. One of the best guys around here in ontario. Its a bit of a drive but well worth the tune.

 

hpt > trifecta. and get a ky stg 3 clutch instead of the gmpp

 

I have Hahn intercooler piping, TWM short shifter, Forge BPV, powerslot rotors at all 4 corners and Hawk hps pads all around. On my other SS I had a DXD clutch with the CM alum. Flywheel and loved it. I think i would look at the ACT all steel lighweight flywheel this time. GMPP clutch looks amazing for the $$. Why HPT over trifecta? I thought Vinces stuff was the schit!!

 

maybe 4 years ago it was. Even then I was recommending HPT over Trifukta. HPT the way to go now. Vince turned into a monk, grew a beard, and road a mini pony into the mountains of Mongolia never to be heard from or seen again. Talk to Powell. he will put you in touch with who tunes him.

 

congrats on the new balt, post some pics

 

In for pics

 

I have a busy wknd ahead of me. I have to go to the wrecking yard and strip all my parts off of the other cobalt. IC piping,twm shifter, forge BPV and the rotors at all 4 corners including the pads and 2 front calipers. Not to mention I have to take all of the stock stuff from the new balt to give to them!! Anyone in Ottawa wanna come help on Friday lol!

Bought from Oakville VW near Toronto

 

The old one

 

Lololol
Man..remind me of my stock car back in the day

Wanna hear a real jet? Turbo swap =D

 

You should have bought it back and sold me the seats and other parts could have been sold.

 

I know a guy that would have bought the wheels.

 

It'll be up for auction at odessa in Ottawa at some point in the near future. Has a CM aluminum flywheel and a South Bend stage 2 in it!

 

I asked them if I could buy the wheels and the brand new blizzaks I had on her...but they wouldn't sell them on their own.

 

could you buy the whole car back??

BTW crystal red is a better color anyways, looks great!

 

Yes for about 3200

 

I know that sounds like a lot, but you could probably still make money parting it. it is a lot to drop on it though. people would kill for the seats, wheels, brembos, and those motors seem to go fro about $2K. never mind all the little stuff that sells on eBay
