Adding to what I have done to my car now. I want to do these things.



Ingalls "The Stiffy" Engine Torque Damper

Chevrolet Cobalt MRZ Strut Bar Brace

Pacesetter Catback exhaust

Pacesetter header


Im not very familar with the torque damper I can use this on my car okay right?

 

to the torque dampner yes

 

uhhh huhhhhh. sure can

there are better options

 

Feel free to list them.

 

motor mounts, eehh help me out here guys lol

tranny mounts

 

Links would be cool too.

 

^ lots of vendors on here that sell them. Check them out in the vendor section

 

why just do a header and a catback do a dp also

 

if ur gonna do an exhaust do the whole thing.......or just a catback

 

Your best bet and first thing I recommend you buy is the ottp rotated tranny mounts. This will eliminate ALL of your wheel hop problems. Don't buy the torque dampener, buy the rotated tranny mounts.

 

^^ troof. i plan on getting these once funds allow it. they're not exactly cheap

 

Ingalls is a waste of money.

 

I wouldn't go as far as to say ingalls is a waste of money but its just a band aid to a problem, it doesn't SOLVE the problem it just touches it up.

 

true ive seen people snap them in half

 

ha, if they're snapping them in half, they installed it wrong. same with the guys that bent their brackets.

 

Exactly. You can't snap an ingalls in half if properly installed, PERIOD.

 

It's a waste of money compared to the other wheel hop options. It works, just not that well.

 

How much does the strut help?

 

Strut bar does a little but not a lot. A sway bar is better

 

I wouldn't get a strut brace.

I would get a set of OTTP rotated trans mounts instead of the Ingalls.

I would look into some different exhaust setups also, although I don't think many people have complaints with the Pacesetter header.

 

Not much at all, not enough for the price. You'd be better off with some sway bars.

 

pacesetter header is ok if you dont have a problem with having your own downpipe fabbed up. Exhaust is decent but not stainless (for the price what do you expect).

Ingalls is useless.

IMHO, heres what you should do:

OTTP rotated trans mounts
Any catback you think sounds good
ZZP header/DP combo
Intake

AFTER you do these basics,
Custom stage kit of your choice with a good tune by someone with hptuners.

If you absolutely must keep the factory warranty and your dealership is a *****, GM stage 2. If you have a cool dealership or dont care about warranty, go with a 3.0 pulley, 42#s to start with, then if you still want more you can upgrade to 60#s and a smaller pulley, meth injection, etc. later on.
