after you pull some fuses i heard that if you suck on the exhaust while the car is running you get better flow through it...

i havent tried it but i figured its worth a good 10-15 hp

The EXH fuse is for either bank 1 or 2 O2 sensors or both, im not sure. Pull it and the car goes into open loop. As to what it would do to the PCM while it still reads the other inputs, I dont know..... My guess is a longer pulsewidth than normal, which may result in a little more throttle response depending on other conditions but it doesnt give more power and is not a smart thing to do.

After I fixed the piping I had a friend scan it with his computer he gave me the codes the piping put out and it also gave him o2 codes which I'm guessing is from the exhaust.
it was the exause fuse. it was giving me a code from emissions.

Yes on the cobalts the A/C compressor shuts off at WOT

Once engaged, the compressor clutch will be disengaged for the following conditions:

• Throttle position is 100 percent for 10 seconds.

• A/C high side pressure is more than 2951 kPa (428 psi) and will reengage once the pressure drops below 2068 kPa (300 psi).

• A/C high side pressure is less than 310 kPa (44 psi).

• Engine coolant temperature (ECT) is more than 125°C (257°F).

• Engine speed is less than 475 RPM.

• Engine speed is 6,100 or more RPM.

• ECM or PCM detects excessive torque load.

• ECM or PCM detects insufficient idle quality.

R O F L. I can just imagine how smoothly those pistons move with all that SOLID butter in your car during a start up.

What do you think the engine block heater's for?

Random kinda-related fun fact of the day:
The Russians have a nuclear submarine (the Akula class if I remember right) that uses lead as coolant. Every time they shut down the reactor, the lead solidifies in the system and they have to heat the lead up in the coolant lines to liquify it again before they kick on the reactor again.

I dont think an engine block heater would work lol. not to mention the butter would be grittier than 5w-30.

Usually it's a rubber hanger or something, but it gets lost in translation to english and just becomes a "bearing". Seen that before.
