Would this be covered under a powertrain warranty? I don't think so, because it is the exhaust, but I have another warranty with a $100 deductible that covers the exhaust. I'm just wondering what kind of aftermarket options are out there. Maybe I'll spend a little extra money and get something better to prevent it from happening again.

The car only has 50k on it, but i have brought it to 6500 at least 25 times a day for the past 6 months that I have had the car. Also, I hardly ever lift the gas pedal on WOT shifts. Completely stock. What would have caused this? Me reaming on it too much? - Yes. Can I help it? - No.

 

that exact thing happened to my buddy in his ss and he just got a zzp 3 in dp.

 

Not covered under warranty, and I need the car by this weekend for a 400 mile trip. What do I do?

I live in the Detroit Metro area

Anyone around with a stock downpipe, or any vendors around the detroit area that have any aftermaket ones in stock??? THANKS!!

 

25 times a day dude really what are u 16 quit beatin the **** outta ur car

 

im 26 and i like to have fun. sorry. :P hopefully the trans will go soon so i can put in a LSD lol.

 

 

u like to have fun in ur stock ss sc by flooring it everywhere u go...that dont sound like much fun i think u deserve ricer status on this anyone else agree

 

the reason i keep it stock is so it doesn't blow up, and it can take one hell of a beating. mod it and there is no way it will last even close to as long, especially with FI. i do plan on doing some suspension mods though, and also engine and trans mounts. only things to increase reliability and handling, nothing to add power.

you dont need a fast car to have fun. the most enjoyable part of driving is being able to squeeze every ounce of performance out of your car. most enthusiasts wouldnt even know how to do that in a stock cobalt LT.

 

i got mine covered under warranty at 55K miles, along with a new exhaust manifold, I called GM and told their reps that "I regret buying this piece of American ****, your product is beyond shitty.... so on and so on...."next day the shop called and said that it was fixed free and clear. so call gm and bug them.

 

If that dont work out you only option if you cant secure one from a local is overnight ship a DP

 

its covered, its part of emissions.
i jsut got mine warrantied.

 

my state doesnt have emissions testing so its not covered.

 

some1 is sellin their dp for 75bux here i was goin 2 get it.

 

this happened to me and if ur not over 60k it is covered, the flex pipe through the cat is one piece, if you take it to the dealer the catalytic converter is covered and since its one piece they will have to replace the whole thing, dealer covered for me at 52000 miles!

 

just buy a ZZP 3in Catless Dp...youll thank me later.

 

For what? Show some proven big gains with going catless besides big gains in the rasp department.

I have a stock dp I just pulled off my car. Pm me if your interested.

 

Meh, if he's on stock exhaust it wouldnt be bad... And well it will free up some restriction in the stock exhaust system... Plus its 60$ cheaper than catted, and he MAY gain a few horsepower from catless. I bought one when my flexpipe cracked and i couldnt be happier. I'm no expert but to me the pro's outweighed the cons. IMHO. but who am i...

isn't this covered under emissions warranty?

 

he said since his state dont haz emissions they wont cover it
but emissions is a federal regulated thing =p

 

when that happened to me i went 3 inch catless and have been ever since. thank you zzp!

 

the emissions warranty is the same everywhere....

 

getting one overnighted from zzp. getting the 2.5" bolt in with cat. good thing they are also in Michigan!

 

my buddy has all stock exhaust with a 3 in catless dp and it has no rasp.
