im thinking about picking up hahn exhaust for the 2.4(i plan to turbo)...how bad would it hurt my performance/ sound in the meantime?

 

Hurt it? None. It would net you more hp.

The sound would probably be as loud/louder than others with aftermarket exhausts.

When you turbo it, expect it to be quieter.

 

Turbo exhaust on non turbo(yet) car is going to see a slight drop in power.

But going to be sex once turboed.

 

think it would noticeable, or just really slight?

 

if u drive ur car a lot, it would be fairly noticeable by you, but doubtedly noticed by others. you'll mostly see a drop in low end torque from the loss of back pressure, and, like said earlier, see better hp up top.

 

Im curious.

What makes a exbaust "turbo" only?

Anything over stock is a improvement. He'll lose low end, but gain top end (where you want it anyway)

With hahn's turbo kit, you could use any oem replacement exhaust.

 

Its considered a turbo exhaust because its 3". Now a 3" on a NA car you will prob loose both low and high as 3" is jsut dumb to have on na to begin with. If you ARE going turbo then go for it, if your just planning dont as 99% of those "plans" on this forum never happen

 

I can understand why a 3" would be considered this, as 3" on a n/a 4cyl is retarded, unless fully built.


As mkurley said, dont "plan" to buy the expensive things last...buy them first. As alot of people on forums claim big things going to be happening, and never deliver.

I "planned" on puttin a LS7 Turbo'd motor in my cobalt too
