no CEL. Sensor on exhaust is on your DP and removing CAT's is the only thing that will cause a CEL to go on unless its located in the right spot. No muffler is FINE! but either weld the stock tip back on or get a 4" tip or whatever one of your choice.

PLEASE...PLEASE dont leave an empty hole in your bumper

 

i did mine myself with a friend that can weld...took all morning haha hadda take a bunch of stuff off for him to get in a weld it...i wouldnt just cut the muffler because where you would cut it would be right next to ur brakes and coil spring i wouldnt want all that exhaust heat all over that spring lol....pluss it will leave an ugly empty hole in the back

 

AND a ton of carbon and soot build up forming under the body of the car which you wouldn't want.

 

gotcha. would it still sound alright being a not sc or tc 2.0? just a stock 2.2 would still sound good right? anyone on here have it done to there stock 2.2? i don't want to cut it off and have it sound like ****

 

The only reason the TC sounds good is simply because of the turbo. The turbo creates enough back pressure that it doesn't make the car sound like someone has punch 15 holes in its' muffler.

To be honest, I think your car wouldn't sound good without a muffler. It's like my buddy's 93 Honda accord; when the muffler started getting holes in it, it sounded like garbage. I hope this isn't the case with the 2.2, but I think in my honest opinion that it will be.

I don't want to see you go spending your money to have it sound like crap!

 

i wouldn't spend any money, on the other hand, your completely right, i don't want it to sound like ****, that is what i'd be scared for, cuz i can get it welded for free by my buddies dad but i don't want to take it off and have it sound like ****, cuz welding it back on would be the shitty part.

only video i could find was this one, but his exhaust is COMPLETELY gone. so i dunno. i want something other then stock especially for this meet this saturday damnit! lol

i've been thinkin bout doing this for a long time, and it would sound so amazing with cams, but what i was gonna do was cut the muffler off, weld a flange up to where you cut the pipe and then get a straight pipe and weld a flange on that and then you can bolt and unbolt the straight pipe as needed.

 

I know his exhaust is completely gone, but that sounds like complete and utter CRAP! Please don't go to your meet with your cobalt sounding like that. People will think you have some serious problems when in reality you think it's a good sound mod.

 

no no no do NOT get me wrong that sounds like a bag of ********. i was just saying, that's a 2.2 with NO exhaust. mine would prob not sound that good. only one way to find out, but i don't think im gonna risk it. that would put me on a Failboat to fail island lol

 

the muffler delete on the 2.2 sounds like ****. it does on mine. i think if u got bigger piping it would sound alright. sounds like a angry weed wacker

 

THANK YOU for the input. i don't feel so anxious to **** my **** up now lol

 

Glad we could help you out!!

GET THIS **** OFF OF HERE!!!

 

what a first post


ill take one heaping pile of midget **** videos ASAP

 

Seriously!!

What's the stock ticker # ... I'll take 1500 shares at 45 a pop!

 

Wonder if it passes inspection in Missouri.

 

I'm thinking of doing the muffler delete tomorrow...shop told me 50-100 bucks depending on any bending needed. Just wanted some input if this will def. sound better (louder), but not fart can loud?

 

the guys i took it too, are all firemen...

when he jumped into my car he was like, OH MY THIS CAR IS SO NICE...

and then he yelled out to the other guy "its gonna scream once its done"

lol. paid 60 for them to do mine... worth every penny.

did they leave the stock tip on the car?

 

It will definitely sound better! At first I was unsure about it, but now I absolutely LOVE IT!

TRUST ME, I wouldn't tell you to do something if I thought you weren't going to like it! It sounds NOTHING like a fartcan and the back pressure "burble" is just downright jizz in my pants worthy!

Hope that helps!

Yeah, I asked them to leave the stock tip on my car. I wanted it to look as stock as possible. They moved the tip "outwards" a little bit, but I wanted it that way!

Catless.

 

I'm catted so I'm a little quieter than you!

Still sounds sexy nonetheless!

Like the throttle play at the end!

 

wantedSS/TC, do you get this amount of backfires while catted? cause I love it, but I would also want it a little quieter...

 

I still love my muffler delete!
