Thanks man.

And guys i think i just found my new rear lower lip... its the RKSport rear valance for the G5...


what do u guys think?

 

You GOTTA release some kind of howto or exhaust diagram for those that would like to reproduce it. I just might one of these days when I move to a place with less high speed bumps and less rain gutters/dips Good job, once again.

That would be perfect for your application! Looks sweet too! might have to do something about those reverse lights though.... perhaps wire up some emergency fogs like some of the Coopers have?

 

Yea man Ill do somethin.. maybe ill get a company to mass produce them... lol. Thanks. Like I said before when i get my ZZp header/ dp thats 3" i will make another one and probly do a "how-to" then.

Here is another pix of the rear lip I want. (thanks moza13-)


All it is, is a lip, not the whole bumper. Just remove the lower ss/sc lip and put this one on and i wont have to worry about that hole in the rear ss/sc lip no more. Now i need to check into the Grip side skirts.... looks like it would be a close fit.

ohhhhhhh ****, that should be pretty easy -- best of luck

 

Those tips always ran cool on my Z when I had them on.
Also the grip side skirt would look awesome, just stay away from the grip front end bla!

 

Thanks, keep everyone updated... I might buy that lip tonight so i have it by next week... hmm.. to buy or not to buy....

man i so know what im doing for exhaust now, its what i want to do, but ive been rebuilding my car lol, god damn hassles

 

Good job! +rep for originality.

 

not bad man I likes.

I really like the looks of that as well, even if you beat me to it.
I do have the luxury of playing with the floor height so our goal is for the exhaust tips to be in the side skirts.
Also for your rear hole, it is possible to get a good bodyshop to fill the hole with a polyurethane piece and repaint, which is also the plan for my car. To make up for the rear grill that is molded for the exhaust pipe, we are just getting custom billet grills made up.
As everyone else did, I feel this mod was worth some green rep.

 

Thanks man, ur soooo lucky that u get to adjust the floorboards because on the pass side it is so tight, but the driverside u have plenty of room. On the Pass side there is around 1" MAX between the glass pack and the shield. As far as the hole in the rear bumper, I have never really been crazy about the stock ss/sc lip for some reason, 1 reason is all water/ dirt the damn thing holds... like the spoiler(thats a topic for another day). This just gives me a reason to get a new lip and set my ss/sc apart from the rest. Ill drop u some green when im allowed to again.. lol.

next time ur up this way, holler ille get schuyler with the black ss/sc to come out too

glad i could help with that exhaust

later!

 

I will man, I just dont know when.. been so busy and this weekend fri, sat, sun i will be in montreal. Iv only been up there like 3 times in the past 2 weeks or so. Yeap, if it wasnt for u i would just have a sweet Y pipe set up with glass packs and tips with no way to connect it to the DP... lol.

man, if everyone does my grip idea before me ill be so mad haha jk

 

lol, that was a good idea, i comepletely forgot that grip had that side skirt with the square hole. More that likely it will need some mod in order for the tips that i have to fit in there hole.

Have you bottomed out yet? Speed bumps must really be a bitch . Do you drive your car in the winter.... might be an issue with all the ice chunks on the road. It's original .

 

I like the look, I'd probably have gone with the Bowtie tips, but the squares look real nice...I know when I was doing side exhaust on the cavalier, I ended up only using one side because the gas tank was low on the other (there was a area to run the original exhaust past the tank on the drivers side) are you close to the tank and is it worth thinking about the heat near the tank?

 

Sounds good and it looks like you definatly did your homework on getting it setup properly since it looks pretty dam clean. I'm not a huge fan of side exit exhausts, but like I said it looks real clean. If you were able to get the tips to be mounted, exit and sit flush with the side skirt, that would be sick!

 

i had that exact same exhaust on my ford f 150 truck i had sounds awsome

 

This thread makes me want to make just a passenger side custom exhaust.

 

Worth some green. Nice job.

 

No I have not bottomed out yet, and i have gone over several speed bumps and gone thru several construction zones with no problems. "Knock on wood". And no I dont plan on driving my car in the winter, thats why i have a 1993 ford probe SE.. lol.

Not really worried about it especially once i wrap it, that will help keep the heat from spreading.

lol... r u trying to say my cobalt is like a truck? lol...

Do it...

Thanks man, returned..

later

Thanks man, and yes a spent a "few" hours on it... lol. I am currently looking into the Grip side skirts which have a rectangle hole in just about the same spot as where my exhaust comes out. Might have to do a lil moding but I think it will work. Keep u updated.
