Go read the official exhaust thread. if you still have a question.....POST IT THERE ARGGGGGGGGGG Blown 4-banger 08-19-2006, 08:12 PM Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed! And 2fastSS, the stock piping is mandrel bent 2.5" piping, up until about 1 1/2 feet back from the muffler, then it goes to 2.25" CobaltSS313 08-19-2006, 08:20 PM Why do i keep hearing from peope that GM is 2.25" and Corsa is 2.5", others are saying GM is 2.5" and Corsa is 3". WTF. Can someone say something that is the end all of this discussion. selfinfliction 08-19-2006, 08:33 PM im gettin pretty sick of the 5 exhaust threads every fucking day asking the same fucking questions. it's been this way for years on car forums, that's why i don't understand why the forums still waste time locking the threads, just let them run their course, and run their course again, and again and again. the same questions will be asked 10 years from now on a daily basis. get used to it :twothumbs JCswoosher2 08-19-2006, 08:38 PM then just dont click on them. apparently your interested in exhaust threads if you r reading them :) 2fastSS 08-19-2006, 09:58 PM are you seriously getting mad over a thread? Shut up haha this is my thread and my question and my money im gonna spend so im gonna start a thread to point to the questions i wanna ask but thanks for your concern haha SpecialK 08-19-2006, 11:17 PM The GMPP exhaust gets rid of a few bends that the stock exhasut has and goes to a full 2.5''from the cat back if I am not mistaken. You'll probably not loose any bottom end from the exhaust upgrade. 2.5" is plenty till about 300WHP From ther on up you should consider 3" or bigger. Though with a exhasut that big ground clearance will become an issue if you have bad roads aroudn where you live. Or you like to eat at burger king a lot. :lol: 2fastSS 08-20-2006, 10:02 AM like i dont see how you all are saying the GMPP exhaust is 2.5 inchs when cobalt-addiction and even crateenginedepot.com says their both 2.25 inch piping compared to corsas 2.5 CobaltSS422 08-20-2006, 10:16 AM GMPP = 2.25" and Corsa = 2.5" Corsa > GMPP SSinPhilly 08-20-2006, 10:22 AM GMPP = 2.25" and Corsa = 2.5" Corsa > GMPP = Corsa being Greater. Mathmatically Correct. SSinPhilly 08-20-2006, 10:23 AM then just dont click on them. apparently your interested in exhaust threads if you r reading them :) very good point. Blown 4-banger 08-20-2006, 11:59 AM Corsa = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ GMPP = $$$ Glad I could clear things up :twothumbs CobaltSS422 08-20-2006, 01:13 PM Corsa = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ GMPP = $$$ Glad I could clear things up :twothumbs :lol: True.. but then u want to buy a header and downpipe and now you have a header that has a 3" collector to a 2.5" downpipe and then to a 2.25" cat-back exhaust.... hmmmm.... that defeats the purpose of being able to open up the exhaust. and once u see the Corsa cat-back exhaust in person you'll know why u spent $630 :cool: just my opinion though CobaltSS313 08-20-2006, 03:04 PM im going 3" collector and 3" DP tapering to 2.5" outlet so i can keep my low end torque. Plus i love the sound of the corsa. g5mike 08-20-2006, 04:04 PM Honestly I dont think youll see any difference at all in performance between the 2 sizes, and the GM is a hell of alot cheaper Cobalt_SSTuner 08-20-2006, 04:07 PM this thread link should answer most of your questions. And all I did was search. :) http://www.cobaltss.net/forums/showthread.php?t=10668&highlight=Official+Exhaust+thread Good Luck w/ your exhaust :cssNET: Blown 4-banger 08-20-2006, 04:23 PM I'm getting the clear image auto header, then running a 3 inch exhaust from the header to the exhaust tip with no cat, resonator, or muffler. Loud as fuck, but about as free flowing as you can get. This won't be for a while though. OBSSSD 08-21-2006, 01:48 AM I just installed a new Dynomax Ultra Flo SS muffler part# 17287. It is 2-1/4" in and out and it is a "straight-thru" design and replaces the only restriction in the whole stock catback which is the muffler. It sounds awesome and picks up comprable power to any catback without giving up and low-end torque. As has been noted, if you don't replace your restrictive downpipe then you can only flow so much through the catback. I'm staying with the stock exhaust except for the muffler so I spend about $200 installed on this and I'm very pleased with the results. Also, I recommend a good CAI - I just installed the K&N Typhoon and I love it! Real nice gains across the board, especially in the top end :cssNET: |
