We test fit pilot production parts this past Saturday and took pics (see attached) The muffler has a 5” tip tack welded on at an angle to get the final angle we wanted. This required a 2nd piece which we tack welded at 15deg. We could also do a 4” tip and offer the customer the choice. The production Magnaflow muffler is 6”dia unhampered (straight thru flow) and would have the tip as one piece and fully Tig welded. The production tip (only) would be polished and better than the one shown in these pics.
The exhaust is all Stainless steel and would include the more expensive stainless strap clamps which allow easy removal compared to “U” bolt clamps. Price would be about $499.
Tell me what you think.

little too "JDM" for my taste... but it'll be popular as a lot of people seem to like this look and i'm all for options

 

very nice dave. imo you should take some sound videos and post those up.

they do a lot of dsm cars thats probably why lol i agree too jdm for me as well but i love dejon products

 

wow I hate to say, but that looks hidious..

 

agreed

 

id rock it just dont like the "silencer" look inside the tip

maybe just a bit smaller tip

 

he said in the opening post that you can get it in 4" tip instead of the 5" pictured

 

that's def too rice for me. you should offer exhaust mufflers like Greddy or HKS, but I'm not into rice bent exhausts, I like them straight like the one you mention.

 

i know i knowww just stating how I would like it

 

So we can do 4" or 5" and either canted (riced) or straight, or straight with a slant tip. Any other options? How about a poll.
If you'd like to comment, nows the time.

just my honest opinion you need to do these things:
1) Get a picture of a straight muffler with straight 4" tip
2) get some videos of revving and a fly by
3) do a dyno test of stock exhaust and yours
4) make me an exhaust manifold for your turbo kit haha

 

looks like the ark grip which I have and I love the angled look. everyone has their own opinion. I think it would look good all finished up and better pics and sound vid

 

you should offer Greddy or HKS for muffler selection with angle or straight and the option for resonator.

 

Looks like a subi or evo's exhaust. I like the muffler less sound but it's nice to have other options instead of the same ol same ol.

 

hmmmm thats a good idea too

 

4in tip would be better imo, just looks huge! lol

 

agreed

 

^yep

 

just hope they took my idea about muffler selection (HKS & Greddy) that would make them more exceptionable compare to ZZP, OTTP, and Treadstone.

 

IMO

The majority of the cobalt community is looking for more hidden straight through muffler with a nice seperated 4" tip out the back. Gives it that more stock look rather than a canister out the back. Now some people will prefer the canister, but i think the majority of the people would prefer a smaller oval magnaflow muffler or other brand and a nice clean looking stainless steel 4" tip

 

I don't like it unfortunately... I think you should redesign it. Outside of look how does it sound>?

 

I agree completely. The sound of the exhaust is a huge factor in how I'll feel about it, but you certainly can't ignore looks. Cobalts just don't look right imo with angled exhausts. Looks much better on EVOs and STIs. Put up some sounds clips and I'm sure you'll change some minds.

 

4" tip pics now lol

 

like a truck tip but 3 inches in diameter.

 

This^^..That exhaust looks ghey
