And my god do I miss the pop/cackle of my old exhaust. Given, it was just a SXT with a 31" glasspack and SRT exhaust, but it sounded MEAN as hell, and everytime I downshifted, it would pop and cackle like crazy.


Now i've been searching for the past 2 weeks, listening to exhausts, but in most clips I listen to, no one really downshifts. It's usually just an idle rev, flyby, or launch.

From a performance standpoint, I'm assuming with the cobalt just about any 2.5" exhaust is going to give the same gains as the next one. So which exhaust out there gives off a nice "POP POP POP" sound? Any of them them? Or am I doomed to be jealous of the damn black SRT I see running around Ypsilanti

My megan exhaust does it quite a bit.

joey26lil

my gmpp does it all the time even during regular shifts

neb07ss/sc

my ark does... i downshift in the middle of the movie, if you turn the volume up you can here it pretty good

i haven't heard a cobalt snap crackle pop yet. if thats what you have your mind set on you might be fabing a srt pipe on there. i personally like the slp loudmouth, very aggressive but smooth

matt_SS_205

get a header with it, that'll really make it 'pop'

srt4's have a VERY distinctive sound, i know i can tell there's one around before i see it just from the exhaust note. you're not going to get that sound out of a cobalt. mine pops a decent amount when i downshift, but nothing like what you're looking for.

heyitsmikey1987

my stock one with a c/a 3 inch catless dp does it all the time kinda loud too

Stock header, Pacesetter exhaust with a cherry bomb reverse mounted in line (basically used as a resonator) and I pop a good amount on downshifts... sounds nice

REIGN SS

Pacesetters make lots of noises

roadrage06

I get it, happens naturally in the SS/SC from what I can tell. Everyone that I've seen that has work done makes that sound. But yeah, you're not even gonna come close to the "diesel turbo" sound of an SRT-4.

Opi

Yea i know i can't match the SRT exactly, just like the SRT can't match a scooby.

I'm more looking for the pop pop crackle pop noise. I'm stearing far far away from pacesetter though. I've heard one to many bad things about them.

i was looking into magnaflow, GMPP, or ark
anyone have any downshifting videos of the GMPP or magnaflow?

mrsilent13

ive gotten mine to pop pop a few times.....but its a custom made by my cousin that works at jardine motorsports

SSdan

ARK exhaust does it ALL the time like the SRT's.

My exhaust didnt start popping until I put my two step colder plugs in

Now it sounds like M80's going off in my exhaust

nuttzzy

i got the zzp header downpipe combo /w highflow cat and a 3 in corsa catback. IT POPS....

2fastSS

downshift in a corsa its pretty close to what a srt 4 does just not as loud and distinctive but it is very loud in itself.... Now add a downpipe and a header it will even get louder

FASTL61

mine does it i hAve 2.25 catback no resonater with obxr muffler!sounds bad ass

BCobaltSS

I have the GMPP header and the XTC hi flow down pipe on a sport GMPP catback. Stage 2 so dumps a lot of fuel but even on the stage 3 ecu it pops like crazy during down shifting

fballman1987

my megan does it all the time.

Hey Opi are you from 2gn.org?? I also had a 2005 dodge neon sxt my Username was 05neonSXT

Opi

haha, i knew it was you. i seen your post on 2gn about getting the cobalt, and noticed the questions you were asking around here. put two and two together

UmeNNis

I just got the Pacesetter because it was used and CHEAP!

Pacesetter is OKAY IF you find a way to resonate it in a reasonable manner. However, I do plan to eventually replace it with a Vibrant (best for performance and sound imho)

MarcS

Why would you want it to pop anyway?

It'll just sound broken.
