Wanted to do a few mods to the Cobalt SS, but I'm also buying parts for my 2004 GTO and 1968 Camaro. So, decided to save a few bucks and picked up some deals from the forum classified section. Thanks to the members that sold me parts. I also have Clear Image group buy charge piping on the way.

AEM CAI and TTR solid motor mount:



Dejon catless downpipe with cutout (I bought an electric cutout from Summit Racing):



Got too late this evening for a vid, my wife and I will take some video of opening and closing the cutout tomorrow.

 

nice man

 

wish you would have spoke to be before you did some more mods on it

 

Whats the advantage of the TTR solid motor mount?

 

It was cheap, easy to install, and it helps a little with wheel hop. The OTT rotated motor mounts are supposed to be the ultimate route to go.

 

nice cutout, earlier spool FTW

anyone got a stock pic of the SS/TC turbo setup?

how far from the ground is the cutout sitting?

 

Stock:



The lowest point of the cutout is about 2.5" lower than the rest of the exhaust. Hope I don't drag on anything. Monday will be the true test, I have to go over a speed bump in the parking garage at work.

 

i mean the turbo itself mounted on the engine basically lookin for a back view

 

Hard to get a camera back there. Can't see much with the intake and hot side charge pipe on.

 

oh wells, i was wanting to see how the exhaust side of the turbo is setup.

 

There is a downpipe install thread with pics that I used. It has a couple pics of the exhaust side.

here is a pic of mine with all the pipeing off hope it helps

 

The electric cutout hangs down a little lower than I originally thought, about 3" below the rest of the exhaust. I made it over a parking lot speed bump yesterday and the downtown parking garage speed bump today. So far I haven't dragged on anything (yet). Even with it closed, the exhaust sounds deeper and a little louder, a nice growl. Probably mainly due to being catless. We shot some vids from inside the car. Still need to do some from outside the car.

 

Why would he need to speak to you first?

 

Because, he had one of the parts I bought. Area47 is the guy that tuned my car. Have to give him two thumbs up.
