So i was at the wreckers and found a cobalt with a GM performance exhaust. And obviously i bought it... I am wondering how to tell if i grabbed the touring or the performance/sport version. I have read that the resonators have the same part number on both systems so that doesnt help determine which one it is. What are the physical differences between the 2 mufflers or where i can find a part number on the muffler. I have looked and dont see any numbers but hopefully there is one and its just hidden.

I have read that the touring might have baffling inside the muffler while the performance one is a straight thru.

I have researched my ass off and all that ever comes up when you type differences in the exhaust is questions from retards about the difference in sound...

i only feel like installing the touring version on my car as i prefer a quieter exhaust. If its the performance/sport version ill just flip it and break even.

 

i think if the muffler and resonator are the same size its the touring, and if the res is smaller then the muffler its the sport or something like that.

 

hey man how much you get it for?

 

Bump for more opinions.

 

Bolt er up and try it out. If it's too loud, add another resonator or change the muffler

 

only reason why i ask is if you end up finding out its the performance exhaust, and you dont want it... i do other then that i dunno how you could tell the difefrence other then installing it

 

the performance is like just two big resonators. the touring has an actual generic looking muffler at the rear. neither of them are really loud though

 

muffler looks bigger on the touring

im not looking to ship it. there are lots of cobalts in my area and im sure one of them would buy it.

im thinking the size is the only way ill be able to tell so far. and i dont want to cut my stock exhaust apart right now as its ******* -20°C (-4°F for u yanks)... wayy to cold to be doing any sort of work
