does anyone have or know of a chip for 2009 cobalt 2.2? i found one at betterairflow.com anyone heard of this?HELP

dont buy a chip. not to mention most dont work. just get a tune it will be much better.

whats a tune? im new to this stuff, and how much would it be and is there a link you could give me thank you so much

First of all, welcome to the site!!!!!

Secondly, you should really do a search on this subject and delete BOTH of the threads you started before people rip you a new anus.


There are no "chips" for our engines(GM hasnt used chips since about 95 or so) Your looking at the JET Module.

This module tweaks air/fuel/ignition inputs to the ECM to get better performance


A "tune" is using computer software to change current software parameters in your engine control module in order to get top performance.


Please search, and again, I dont think these threads will make a good impression on you as to how this can realy be. You may want to seriosuly consider deleting them and starting over. :)

Maven, look at his screen name... It has Fast and Furious written all over it.

I had the same thought!

a tune is when someone plugs in a computer to your cars computer and adjusting alot of special electronic controllers that are embedded into the cars software, doing this can increase HP, torque, and even MPG. There is one person on here I'd figure could tune u and that's psychosteve with the Mustang signature, he's a master tuning machine

well i am only 16 years old so i really shouldnt know what i am doing but i am trying to get things in order with my cobalt!

Honestly the original post is not what you should be asking. You dont know what the difference between a chip and a tune are. Google that shit or even search it here. I dont see why everyone here has to ask about stuff they dont even know what it does.

I tell you what, paypal me $100 and I will send you a quart of high performance blinker fluid (http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=6) and an O-bent exhaust pipe (http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=2). Hahaha!

guys, hes young, lay off.

at least hes asking first instead of just doing stupid shit and then posting back here to get flamed. hes doing the rite thing buy asking for advice.

but now that u have it, if u ever mention a chip again, i guarantee u will get flamed lol, just the way it is.

How bout u take your head outta your ass and remember that just because you know all this shit doesn't mean EVERYONE ELSE knows it too. How bout next time you don't know something we all call u a fuking retard?

man i really hate to see all these negative posts in your new thread, u just got a new car and don't know anything about cars, welcome to my world 2 years ago........i was lucky tho and the forum i was on at that time was small and there was only 2-3 assholes posting in my threads.........might run into alot more here, keep your head up and the information u seek will be found.

How bout you actually do some research before you ask on a topic you know nothing about? Chip and Tune are not Cobalt sensitive terms, they relate to anything with fuel injection a.k.a. things made before consumer computers(eccept for the mechanical fuel injected cars of the early 80's).
Had he asked the difference between a chip and a tune I would have had no problem being nice but him asking about something typically indicates he knows the difference, or atleast knows both are intended to do the same thing eccept one is cheaper.
Had he wiki'd and google'd those terms he would have gotten the answer without hastle. It is like all the threads that are about where to find a 3" exhaust for a 2.2 with no mods.
Btw, I have no problem being wrong but atleast I understand the concept of the search button.

wow i'm gunna be trolling you from now on for being such an asshole to someone who probably has never posted on a forum b4 or used wiki, hell i never have. Some ppl learn by asking questions and doing minimal reading, others can learning most of wat they need by reading textbooks........everyone is different, don't be an asshole because someone learns things a different way than u do.

camerokiller was loller-banned

truth, chips are only good on some makes and models, usually only older ones but occasionally there is a new car that u can just slap a chip in it for the retuning process but it's still better to get someone with experience to tune your car, you will always net better MPG and HP with someone who has tuning experience.

Despite what you have been told, chips do not exist.

In today's terminology, a "chip" is a resistor that replaces your MAF sensor, which to uneducated logic would "make more power" but in reality, it makes your car run like shit.

so brand new VW's that get performance chips are exactly as you have said?

Unless it is a VW oem performance product (think GMPP) You are correct, easiest way of realizing that is to check ebay for performance chips for cobalts, notice they rarely show a pic and if they do it is just a resistor, then check it for the V-dub of your choice and they do the same crap.

now explain why countless members on css.net talk about GTI's that are chipped?

Idk, because they themself dont understand the concept of a "chip" or because they are actually factory/aftermarket ecu upgrades similar to the mopar stage upgrade ecu's in srt4's.

Because VW's are chipped. :lol:

VW tuners(like APR, etc.) actually install CHIPS into the ECM. Its not something like the old GM EPROMS that were plug and play in your driveway. Modern VW "chips" are soldered into the ECM. If you were to disassembled a "chipped" GTI it would be visually apparent

Wow, warranty voided right there.

some of u guys are giving me a hard time im 16 and just got my car days ago and looking for horsepower please. thats all. thank you to those of you giving me a warm welcome i joined only 4 days ago and people are giving me a hard time i was asking about a chip thats all.

its all good man. Im all seriousness, you want to go for an CAI (cold air intake) and/or a cat-back exhaust. It will cost you 3-6 hundred to get both

At minimum you can get a catback for about $200, intake for $45

At minimum you can get a catback for about $200, intake for $45

thats a minimum though

Considering you have a 2.2 LAP -- this engine is new to the aftermarket vendors so there probably isn't much in the way of a "tune" for your engine.

If money isn't a problem, start with the basics, cat-back exhaust, intake, and maybe an LSJ/Ext-honed manifold -- these will free up horsepower. That way you'll be ready for a tune or module when something becomes available.

Research what's available for your car:

True Dat!!!!:lol::lol::lol:

Wait a minute........I pay them for parts too.......they should be paying me!:lol:

what is the best intake for my car. and also will an 05 and up intake fit on my 09 LAP?

im also doing 2.5" piping from mandrel exhaust systems.com and then buying a DC sports muffler. Will that sound good and give me more power?

i'm not sure wat intake will fit but i'm sure there will be one to fit, as well the exhaust will be a good setup but i wouldn't get a DC sports muffler, get an ARK Performance exhaust, should fit you no problem and i PROMISE u will LOVE the sound.

well ark is so much money im looking under $500 for a catback

Here is a good option for you, all u have to do is pick a good muffler and resonator, ask the exhaust shop what they think sounds good.

Tsudo Exhaust $295

woah! where did u get that and did u get any gains! what website did u get that at? sounds sick

Send me the money, i'll give you a chip that is just as useful for half the price. You can even eat it, too.
