looking for a good performance, yet cheap exhaust system for my LS coupe, and have no real idea on whats good an bad. need some enlightenment from all you fellow cobalt maniacs out there. basically if i had to describe what i was looking for, the phrase would be the best bang for the buck

-its a brand new 07 btw

 

you live in texas, go for the pacesetter exhaust cheep and it does the job. and to warn you , you will get cry babies that will say dont get that it sucks sound like ****. I personally heard it in person and it sounds nice.

 

If I were you, I would look into the GMPP exhausts. I'm thinking about gettin one myself sometime early next year. Also, use the search button; I believe there is a sticky in the 2.2L performance section that has the products that are out for our cars. There is also a thread somewhere with sound clips of the GMPP exhaust, both the sport and touring. Hope you find what you're looking for.

 

GMPP, its fairly cheep, sounds good, is stainless, and holds factory warrenty.

go custom cat back itsll be alot more bang for the buck... alittle more than the corsa probably, but u wont have the black paint chips all over... pm me i can save alot of money for u on custom exhaust, i get brand new parts wholesale

 

False, does not hold factory warranty for exhaust. It comes with its on GMPP warranty.

But I'd go GMPP exhaust, thats what route i'll be going at some point

 

thanks for the help, im thinking ill go with the GM exhaust, i just remembered that i know a guy who can probably get me one for cost, maybe a little more if that.

 

Good luck. Update us if and when you get it done!

 

GM catback all the way

 

my buddy (gaurdian) had me put the GMPP sport on, it was nice but not loud enough for me

 

I have the pacesetter and I highly recomend it and for $200 its a pretty god bang for the buck

 

OK, but its still warrentied by GM

 

You will enjoy the ease of installation and the sound of a GMPP performance Cat-Back exhaust. If you can afford it and you don't have tha Air Injection System -- look for an additional hose coming out of the top of the air box, if you have this hose you have the AIS -- then get the GMPP Extrude Honed Exhaust manifold; and if you can't afford it get the base SS exhaust manifold (need gaskets and studs too). Both flow a lot more than the LS manifold with its' small "D" shaped exit hole. Also, if you don't have the AIS get the GMPP Performance Intake too.

There are plenty of threads that cover all of these.

 

Yup, once you put on the GMPP it voids your exhaust warranty (if you have a dealer they'll still work on the exhaust if needed) and it becomes a parts warranty for the GMPP Catback parts.

 

GMPP warranty:

If you buy car and have GMPP exhaust put on by dealer prior to delivery or during the GM New-Vehicle Limited Warranty-- full car warranty applies

If you have dealer put on GMPP exhaust after purchase and after GM New-Vehicle Limited Warranty -- parts and labor for 1 year

If you, or other than GM dealer, put on GMPP exhaust -- parts for 1 year

GMPP parts do not affect the rest of the car's warranty -- GMPP parts cannot be used against you for other warranty issues.

Effective with purchases on or after 3/24/2005 ref.: GMPP 2007 Vehicle Performance Catalog Pages 60 and 62.
