That answered a lot of my questions thanks everyone for the good posts

 

cherish it, very few threads i post in actually have pertinent information for more than 3 posts

 

why dont you just buy elite cyborgs exhaust!? he offered it to you for a damn good price.

 

Prototype for the defunct GMracing header.

Hahns DP is 2.75" IIRC, because its the RandomTech piece, which is VERY nice.

 

side exhaust is gay

 

actually i think it can be super slick, but i have yet to see one on a cobalt


if the exit was more like a flat rectangle like some of the 2000~ camaros muffler tips were, it would look good

 

I take it you have never heard the side exhaust in person..... Its a bit loud...... People seem to only temporarily run it... then sell it. Not to mention the clearance issues it causes.

 

clearance is not an issue, you can get oval piping that takes a 2.5" pipe to 1.75" high

run a good resonator and muffler and do it properly and it won't be any louder than anything else on the market. if space is a concern you can install the resonator on the downpipe and put a long bullet muffler where the resonators usually are

there's ways to do almost anything, but it takes some sincere thought and 42 braincells. you can't just say hey i'll replace the resonator with a muffler and bend the pip so it runs out the side and it's gonna be FTMFW!

 

1.75'' below the factory body is still a clearance issue... If you are lowered forget about it.

 

not 1.75" below the side skirts silly goose, 1.75" under the car, the side skirt edges hang down further but no reason to get into semantics, so you win, 1.75" thick exhaust is too low for anyone to use.

 

its not too low to use, its just not practical. If someone made a beveled sideskirt for a sidepipe it would bring it up a bit. I know the cars a drivable with the side exit. Its just not for everyone.

 

Because now i am looking into 3"

 

completely useless unless you have a turbo or 350+hp

 

exactly what im sayin.

dude just buy rileys exhaust. ****.
