Well i go to a school where basically all car enthusiasts have imports. One of my real good friends owns a 2005 eclipse GTS MTX and we have raced multiple times from a dig and he gets me pretty good, but when we go from a roll i usually take him. He always is telling me chevy sucks and my car is breaking because of that tick tick tick after i turn off my car.

/Rant

Anyways i am thinking about doing the following

GM stage 2
Tsudo (sp?) 2.5 catback exhaust
Ingals TD or TTR solid mount

Will i be able to pull on that damn eclipse a lot harder?

Than maybe a month after i get those things i will be going with the zzp heard+DP combo

i know the TD and the solid mount are pretty comparable but which one is easier to install? Also do you have to jack the engine up at all?

Also anyone know why it says this exhaust wont fit the SS/SC model?

yes you would be able to pull him better. The mount is easier to install

 

TTR Motor Mount > ITD

 

Do i have to jack up the engine for either of those to install?

 

yes but it is real simple to do. The tick tick tick is your exhaust and every Cobalt I'm aware of does this. Mine did it from day one. It means nothing and your Ecipse friend wouldn't talk so much smack about chevy if you raced that eclipse stock with a stock SS S/C.

 

the eclipse is stock, but since i just got this car a little over a month ago and it is my first MTX car i am not that good at shifting yet + our cars have horrible wheel hop from a dig. So im thinking with a solid mount i should do a lot better.

 

What year eclipse?
Understandable if your new to shifting.
Once you get good at driving it you'll beat him.
Get a minor tune to lower boost in first so you can launch worth a darn.
Just be careful since your new to manuals. The Balt is a harsh teacher for that.
Just be careful and please don't race until you've got your shifting perfect.
I don't want to read about another person who got hurt or worse trying to do something they were not ready for.

Be safe and have fun!

 

It was a 2005 Eclipse GTS (stock)

 

If you really want to take him I would suggest also getting a 2.9" pulley on it to kick up the boost a bit. I can make it for you for only 50.00 and it's much lighter than the steel stage 2 pulley so it will spin up a bit quicker.
