Hello fellow motorheads. Just purchased a slightly used cobalt sstc sedan and I heard about this forum so I decided to check it out. The car came with a factory tune and is pretty quick. It also has an aftermarket shifter (it's aluminum looking) and has no muffler, just a straight 3in pipe. its got about 25k on it, and runs great. look forward to the info I get here, peace, Pogo

 

welcome

 

welcome, congradulations, and what color is it and sedans are pretty rare

 

Fewer of those made than any of the other colors.

I like the user name, BTW - does that reference a M1 Garand by any chance ?


Enjoy , although I suspect that thing is a tad louder than stock - takes some of the fun of stealth away ...

enjoy .. the sedan is a real sleeper it will break from time to time but that's what the warranty is for and it's worth the joy this car will bring you

 

yup, M1 and a BAR....

yeah, got some pop and burble, (fool for the burble!)

since its black, maybe black rims to match?

 

Enjoy it, I do mine!

 

^ Absolutely, black rims are sexy looking on black cars. I'm going to get mine powder coated black.

the M1 garand is the greatest battle impliment ever devised. Or so Patton says.

 

Thanks to everyone for the cobalt welcome. Man this site has so much info and instructions and opinions..... For me its gonna raise more questions than tom selleck's mustache.. But I'll just try to enjoy car and if ?'S come up ill def seek the advice here.

 

welcome dude enjoy it they are fun cars

 

congrads man, I got 4dr too, I have way too many mods to list.. super sweet ride..

 

welcome

 

welcome man

 

welcome to the site.

 

yeah how's that bottom end build going? sorry to threadjack. congrats on the car and welcome to the site

 

Welcome to the Sedan club!

 

welcome to the forum!... this site has many info to offer and people here are VERY helpfull!

 

thanks again guys,
so from what i have read about non factory tunes, it seems like this trifecta and hp tune keep coming up and something about a combo tune where the two of them are kinda combined?? any short opinions on the choices?

got the factory tune already in there. i'm just looking for around 300whp/325wtrq. no real bolt ons currently just chopped muff and short shifter. thinking of maybe a k and n drop in but dont know if that will enhance anything>

and another criteria concerning choice is safety and reliability of tune and maybe if it can be hidden as well!! yikes

 

welcome, give us some pics

 

go trifecta. and get a k&n also welcome

 

Do you still have the stock downpipe on the car? If so , get an aftermarket dp. The stock dp is restrictive.

 

Got a stock dp, but I heard its not that restrictive. Only the catless dp with tune will make a hp difference? Any boost creep/spike issues during colder temps? how bout the whp gain? Cuz I was thinkin of just getting tune with stock dp, hopefully that will work for 300whp/low 3's tq

 

Welcome young PolyWog, WELCOME!!!

 

tune and dp and youll be in high 280hp low 290hp and tq should be around 310 or something

 

Ok was under my balt lookin around and I noticed how the tranny mount didn't look very stock. It was shiny looking and looked diffent than the mount in the rear? I was told about the factory tune, and the muff delete and short shifter were obvious, but this tranny mount not too sure about. I figured there was stuff done to car that I wasn't told about but that's cool. So I was just wonderin if the tranny mount is something u guys replace in this car. This mount is bolted into frame and 2 bolts go into trans. Maybe this can explain the stiff bracing feel between shifts?? Finding out more about this car everyday and you guys are helping me a bunch, thanx
