Heh That Crotch rocket in a tin can sound comes from the fact it is a hi revving small dislacement engine. All the snazzy mufflers in the world won't make your cobalt sound like a muscle car. The "fart can" style mufflers honestly sound best on these cars.

my car doesnt sound like a crotch rocket in a tin can. and 2.4 L is a huge displacement for 4 cylinders. the displacement per cylinder is the same as a 4.8L V8. our cars have half a truck engine! lol...

I have the 2 1/2" Magnaflow catback and it's very deep for a 4-cylinder. A lot deeper than the videos on the internet. This is coming from me owning a 300 rwhp 5.0L V8 Mustang with full Flowmaster exhaust.........I hate rice rockets and I still think my G5 GT sounds good
