then you get someone to get vid

 

i think the factory non turbo cars were 2 bolt flange. not 100% sure though.

 

Off this guys topic, sorry...

Actually yes, i plan to make a few as soon as i get the exhaust on, i just asked a friend this evening if he could do a ridealong with me with his new video camera since i still don't have one, lol...

 

Normally takes 2weeks after ordering. 1week to process and build the exhaust. Another for shipping. If anyone has anymore q's lemme know. Or pm ur conformation # and I'll check on it.

MES carries a catback for all cobalt models, u need the 3" catback with the 2 bolt flange

 

cool works for me. they have the best price so far and my shop charges 40 to install

 

Zdeuce U have a txt...

 

I look at these exhaust systems as something that requires finishing personally. This is more for the guy that has a welder at home and can finish the minor details of it. Considering the cost of the entire system is indeed a lot cheaper than a full bolt on unit makes it perfect for the DIYer.

This is a lot easier than the route I took buying DynoMax mendral bends, flanges, flex pipe, and mufflers and starting from scratch on my Integra.

 

You can see the clamps from it being mandrel bent.

Is there a way to do it cold?

Overall there is a reason this exhaust is cheap, you really do take your chances on it.

It sounds good, and is a good bit louder than the Hahn.

Hahn is just a better quality exhaust for the extra 100 bucks

Also if you buy the MES(with a res and muffler, stainless) it will cost 545 shipped and you still need to buy band clamps unless you like crushing your new exhaust.

I got my hahn for 622 shipped.

Came with band clamps.

Fit like a glove...and if you know me, I am not a hahn "too good to give instructions for brand new charge piping that makes reverse underhood dents" nut hugger.

 

Mandrel bending is a cold process.

 

wait band clamps please explain??

 

Just ordered mine the the day with the borla muffler. I will get some welding done when it comes in.

 

mine says it will be in monday will post with fitment experiance

 

Take pictures. Mine has not shipped yet.

 

got it on fit great 10x harder getting the stocker off put everything on loosely and got it line up tightened down. sounds mean but not too loud

 

i heard all good things about Mandrel Exhaust. My buddy is selling his, only because hes getting a newer cobalt. If anyones interested Ill get you intouch with him. He's selling his 2.5'' borla. PM me if interested.

 

Got my 3'' on, it was a pain to get the stocker off. So I busted out the skillsaw and made it a bit easier. I got the borla muffler, no res, it sound fantastic, and very quiet compared to what I was running. (Muff, resonator and cat deleted 2.5''.

 

My bad, I never understood it til I looked it up.

It is.

 

i have the exact same set up but with a resonator. its nice and deep and actually quieter than my stock exhaust with catless

 

I was thinking about just going with their 3" stainless piping and then getting my own muffler....Wondering how that would work out?
