Im confused by some of the terms out there. Can anyone give me some of the basic terms, like whats catback? stuff like that, any help would be awesome.

 

Cat-back= Refers to the section of the exhaust that is from the catalytic converter to the muffler.

CAI= Cold Air Intake, an intake such as the K&N Typhoon Intake for the Cobalt SS Supercharged is a Cold Air Intake that replaces the stock intake system with a free-flowing system. Which equals more hp and tq (hp=Horsepower and tq= Torque)

Need more terms dicifered? Just ask...

 

a catback does not include a new catalytic converter, correct?

 

When you hear the ss/sc drive by a camera and hear a whining noise, is that the supercharg kicking in?

 

Indeed

 

Yes, isint it nice?

 

Whats the difference between the short throw shifter on the ss/sc, compared to the shifter on the ss? thanks for the help

 

The short shifter allows for faster shifting because you don't have to move the shifter as far to place it in gear. So with a short shifter you can row through the gears with shorter throws (smaller movements). It's based on the principle of leverage, the longer the lever the more you have to move it.

 

Im planning on get an cobalt ss/sc, and was wondering if I get the recaro feature with LSD, will that increase my tq and giving me better starts?

 

The LSD does not affect torque, it only affects traction by altering the speed at which the drive wheels turn. Try this: http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start...tial.htm&e=912

 

thanks for the webpage

 

Not a problem, it explains everything a whole hulluva lot better than I could

 

Oh and CEL stands for Check Engine Light.....everyone with an CAI's pain in the A**!!
