That should give it a good punch.

Where are you at in Missouri?

the intake may....throw some odd ltft's and reduce power some...but maybe first isntall the full turbo back, reset the battery and see how it is after some miles, then put the intake in and see what happens.

A cat-back exhaust doesn't help our cars much at all it's all about the down pipe. And an intake probably won't add you any power gains on GMS1 (unless you tune for it specifically with an aftermarket tune) intake will give you more trouble than it's worth.

no if you arent tuned for a intake it just can make your car run like crap because NONE of the current intakes for the lnf cobalt work properly and skew the **** out of your ltft and stft's. If you read the intake thread(s) you'll find more information, but bad intakes can bog your car, run it too rich, run it too lean.

Took some work though. 8 logs total. Still some turbulance because the MAF is so picky about how the air hits it. Hopefully someone will have a solution for me to test soon... That reminds me, I have to make a phone call.

good call, I currently just have a k&n drop in filter and a stage 1 gm kit. I havent data logged yet, but I have a dash hawk to do so. I was going to make some logs of stock and w/ the drop in so we can have logs on the site in a sticky for reference.

if you want a stable intake temporarily that has less troubles go for Hahn CAI, then you might see somthing. Just waiting mine in the mail because its in hot demand. You should get a CP either from OTTP, ZZP, or Injen.

Not all true, surprisingly my Dejon SRI I had no knock, ran rich at idle, still does a little, and my lftf's were way off but nothing that bad that Term couldn't fix.
