If I could get a price I could say yes or no. I want the exhaust, but a definite price is kind of important. Pm it if you don't want it public.

Kinda makes me wish I had held off. Less that $360 is doable for exhaust.

Is this touring one better than the other one they have? Or GMPP only has this one? Also, is this the whole pipe, muffler and tip?

MIGHT be interested, depends on final price as well.

Is this touring one better than the other one they have? Or GMPP only has this one? Also, is this the whole pipe, muffler and tip?

They have both. Neither one is better it's just the touring exhaust is a little more quiet than the performance exhaust. I personaly like the performance exhaust's sound.
It will be the whole pipe muffler and tip.

i dont think this has been answered yet by anyone that has owned one or has the info but is it a straight 2 1/2" pipe or are there still those weird ever changing diameters that the stock exhaust has?

I have the money and the disposition, but I want a final price before I commit.

I have the money and the disposition, but I want a final price before I commit.

Yeah bro you are not commiting by sending the email. We just need an idea of how many people so we can get that price. The more people the better the price. Once we get the price then we can commit.

i dont think this has been answered yet by anyone that has owned one or has the info but is it a straight 2 1/2" pipe or are there still those weird ever changing diameters that the stock exhaust has?

They are straight. No changes in diameter throughout the exhaust. The stock exhaust has that wierd bend over the axel. This GM exhaust does not. The GM exhaust also has a free flow muffler unlike stock. All stainless.

Im interested. Thanks CTC for taking the initiative. :twothumbs

Im interested. Thanks CTC for taking the initiative. :twothumbs

Thanks BLKSS, not a problem bro. I love that exhaust. Staying GM is the way to go, you know?

Good stuff p7x. Thanks for hoping on. Ask Tom in the email you send him. I know he has sent things to Canada in the past.
I guess Touring is slightly quieter than performance. Not extremely noticable. I'll try to find a vid clip.

You are absolutely included bro. All Cobalts are welcome. Man if we get like 10 people the price will be awsome. You are 150% welcome to join in roccityroller.

I have 8 of you signed up sofar so I think I will wait until Monday and give everyone that might not have access until the weekend a chance to see the thread.

Thanks everyone
Tom

Thanks for the update Tom. Thanks everyone for chiming in so quick. I still can't find a clip of the touring exhaust. I'll keep looking. The list has been updated.

So between the exhaust and tip we save around $30.00 just for this simple group buy. Awsome.

I'll wait until Monday to deplete my account of 450ish dollars. In all actuallity I would like to see a group buy on like GM stage 1 or 2.

Nice. We kick ass! :twothumbs I want performance not touring now.

looking for exhausts i found my video on streetfire, wonder who put it up there

http://videos.streetfire.net/search/ss%5e%5esc+vs+evo/0/14e11b04-56d7-4f78-a396-e1d771957622.htm

Could I get a perf. exhaust with a Saturn (or blank) tip?

Are there any dyno's sheets to look at that show any gains other than it just being pretty and a different sound?

Sweet 06VRCoupe. You have been added to the list. We all appreciate your participation. :twothumbs


No prob man. I wanted this exhaust and I was actually going to buy it today, and then I came on here and saw a GB; glad I waited!!!

More people = less cost for all of us. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE! (event hough that's still cheap!)

Hey all, I emailed Tom and Im in!!! This is a good price!
For TOM: I'll get the performance instead of touring! But im in for sure!

With the US to CAD conversion and shipping AND customs ugh this might kill me LoL

EDIT: I hope Tom marks like GIFT or something for us up here in Canada lol :twothumbs

Yes we do and yes it is! Thanks bro.

The exhaust is worth 7whp. There is a chart on here of someones stock dyno and then a dyno with this GM exhaust I just can't find it. Hopefuly he chimes in.

BTW! Thanks firesting. We appreciate this. :twothumbs

Does the exhaust include the tip?

and if we are indeed in do we need to send money immediately or will hanging out until my bonus hits be cool?

I also want to confirm with my dealer that this will not come close to voiding a warranty.

It definitely will not void your warranty. As far as pricing goes it's right there on the 1st post. The exhaust and tip are seperate. Total savings is about $30.00 so far.

ok...so Im in....You guys gotta let me know if you can get a different tip!
Put me down for Perf. w/Angled SATURN tip.

Just wanted to say that I worked out my details with Tom (and my wife) and it looks like a go for my performance and angled tip

Depending on what exhaust your getting, it should be cheaper if we dont get raped in customs.

For me:

Touring + Angled Tip + shipping = 560 US conv = 632 CAN, dealer wants 827 CAN out the door. $200 diff but that where duty and what not come in to play

Just wanted to say that I worked out my details with Tom (and my wife) and it looks like a go for my performance and angled tip

Good stuff Strider_2001, you are added to the list. Glad to hear the wife is cool with it. Thanks bro. :twothumbs

I'm kinda confused

The GMPP performance is $357.30 at GM Crate Engine Depot.

and thats the price he quoted as group buy discount.

Where does the group buy discount come in?

Shipping reduced? or something I am missing?

Thanks for clear this up for my little brain.

Tom changed the price on the website specifically for this group buy. To help with price confusion.
It was $369.00 and the tip was $68.00
Now the exhaust is $357.00 and the tip is $47.00
We save $30.00 just for this little group buy.

So is he going to change it back after the group buy is done?

So is he going to change it back after the group buy is done?

Yes he is. He just wanted to help with this group buy confusion. He is also going to come on here probably Monday to give specific ordering instructions to help even more with price and ordering confusion. :twothumbs

ok...so Im in....You guys gotta let me know if you can get a different tip!
Put me down for Perf. w/Angled SATURN tip.
socal, better check with Tom the saturn redline uses a different set of hangers than the Cobalt SS

CT nice GB! Good luck with it!:twothumbs

We have quite a few people, any chance we can go lower on price?:poke:

I may go in on this, but I'm not sure yet.

Just to make sure, it will work for the 2.4L, right? I don't know if it even matters since it's a catback exhaust, but I figure I might as well be assured on that.

Just to make sure, it will work for the 2.4L, right? I don't know if it even matters since it's a catback exhaust, but I figure I might as well be assured on that.

the GMPP cat-back works on all cobalts 2.2 2.4 and 2.0L

I REALLY need to hear the touring!!!!!!!!! because if not im going to buy the performance

We have quite a few people, any chance we can go lower on price?

yea...whats up with the discount, usually the more ppl you get together the cheaper it is...

i want to buy but dont get paid till next friday is that a problem?

i want to buy but dont get paid till next friday is that a problem?

its called a credit card bro.

well i dont have one thats why i am asking

as i understand it final pricing wont be listed until monday

That was what I thought too, but then he said the price was good through Monday. If I'm mistaken on that point I'll stand corrected, but the last impression I got was the price was fixed and good through monday.

so does that mean no good after monday then?

hmmmm

TOO EVERYONE WONDERING

The GP price for the GMPP exhaust is the price on the CED website. These prices will stay here until after monday when they will return to the normal prices.

translated, it doesn't matter how many more people we get, that's the deal we're going to get. It's not a bad deal I don't think, we just have an aweful lot of people, if everyone comes through that is.

TOO EVERYONE WONDERING

The GP price for the GMPP exhaust is the price on the CED website. These prices will stay here until after monday when they will return to the normal prices.

Exactly. The prices were as follows.

GM Performance exhaust = $369.00
GM Exhaust Tip = $67.00
Normal Shipping Price

NOW, Group Buy Price

GM Performance exhaust = $357.00
GM Exhaust Tip = $48.00
Custom Shipping Prices

So we save about $30.00 each just for buying now. Plus we are only getting charged exactly what it cost him for shipping instead of the old everyone gets the same rate shipping so we actually save more than $30.00 Not bad.

so does that mean no good after monday then?

Yep. Prices are only good untill the end of Monday.

i hope i got the cash for monday :S

Just ordered it. Nice prices. $30 saving over reg price, love it!!!

Now I need to quote an installation price!!!

BUMP

In case anyone didn't see this, now is the time to buy. No pressure or anything.

Shannanigans! I have money now, and I'm hitting the Dyno this Saturday. I was hoping to be able to put my exhaust in Saturday morning and dyno in the afternoon.

Is there any way to get one in the time frame described? If not, are Stage 1 kits in stock?

Just email Tom and see if he has an exhaust in stock. He might have 1 or 2 and if you tell him the situation he might be able to help. :twothumbs

I PM'd him, you think he'll see that or is an e-mail the only sure fire way to get his attention?

all that means is that ups has received the info from crate engine depot(they are the ones billed) and until the pkg is scanned at pickup this will be displayed :)
sometimes it takes a day to show the first pickup scan ;):twothumbs

Man did I miss this. Well I just bought a Cobalt SS 3 days ago I guess I would have missed it LOL. I just found this site. That is a good price for a GM exhaust. I definitley want to do this mod.
