Are you going with the sport or touring?

 

def sport!

 

ok, my exhaust tip arrived today and I installed it. I even took a video. Let me see if I can figure out how to get it online. I like the way it sounds..

 

I have 2 videos...I can't get streetfire to let me load them...
one is 3.1mb and the other is 3.5mb
suggestions are welcome on getting these online....

 

send em to me and I will host them for you until you can find a spot to keep them at ... send me a pm and I can give you the details

 

GMPP

Is it me or does the GMPP sound deeper and less ricey.

Doc, did you have the camera/mic positioned comparatively the same on both clips?

 

it has a really deep tone to it and is way less popity popity than the stock exhaust from what I can tell

 

what size is the GMPP anyway?

 

I tried to get the camera in the same place both times.
The GMPP is 2.25 all the way through. In the installed clip, notice the size of the old muffler. It turns back on itself.
It cost me $420.71 with shipping, took about 2 weeks to get here. Don't forget the tip, I got the angled one from GMPP, like $60, so everything cost $480

after I left I went to the dealership to see my salesman, real kewl guy, and the stuff they put on the pipes was smoking everyone was looking at me like wtf..

 

does anyone know if there is a 2.5 exhaust for the 2.2L? if not i think im going to go with a magnaflow

 

now this is only a guess but im thinking a gain of around ~5hp and ~10tq

 

Any more picks with the install? When are you going to dyno her?

 

I didn't take any pics during the install. It's real simple actually. Unbolt the old parts, remove the hangers and cut the stock pipe near the rear axle.
Install is simple, do it in sections and it works good.
They did have to align it....go figure, it wasn't centered....

 

So has anyone esle had Vibrant before, I was hoping to get the full kit, but if the fitment and welds suck I guess not. I was told they made a decent exhaust? Was the person that told me an idiot?

 

vibrants exhausts are nice

 

Updates!

Videos of stock cobalt ss exhaust AND GMPP Sport Exhaust!
Thanks Doc!

Hey can a brotha get a thread stickied?

 

I'm partial to Corsa. It has the sound I would expect from a domestic sport compact. And a Chevy dealer by me will actually order and install cheaper than Corsa themselves!!

 

I think for the most part, all of them sound pretty similar. I dont really care how it sounds, I just want the best performance out of them. My car can sound like a run away chain saw for all I care, so along as that run away chain saw has the best HP gains

 

The gm does sound pretty inmpressive. Would like to see what gains it gets vs the others. Not a bad price either?

 

Did you ever have one, or has anyone else?

 

the cat back system that zinner has from Altered has a vibrant, i had one on my last ss/sc all i did was cut the stock muffler off put in an extentension and throw in a 17" or 18" (not sure) vibrant muffler, it sounded great was kinda loud but put in a baffle (silencer) and was still nice i thnk it was a vibrant turbo can't remeber the part # hope that helps

 

Great job on the videos, was wondering if ya noticed how far back the tip is to the body.

 

I'll measure it today. I plan on going to get a run on the dyno too. I haven't received a call back about their schedule. I'm debating on putting the stock airbox back on for a run.

 

I went with magnaflow and i love it mostly at wide open throttle!
