Yeah that looks like pacesetter exhaust. I have heard that exhaust on other cars, it was a little raspy but it wasn't a cobalt. It's not stainless steal so I don't know. You know what they say, you get what you pay for.

I need some opinions on this also. I am either going with this one or just replacing the stock muffler with a flowmaster or magnaflow and changing out the piping to 2.5 from the axle back. I will not spend 600 bucks on an exhuast system.

Good call Yoadrien. I would just go 2.5inch from the axle back with a new muffler. It's the same thing.

Do you think the DC Sports is better than the Monza? Where can you buy the DC Sports? I havn't seen or heard anything about his one.

why put cheap **** on your car. i dont want something thats gonna rust out on me. i really dont understand the logic behind it. if you by it and then have to have it coated or whatever its gonna cost the same as an inexpensive stainless stell setup. why not just do it right worry free?

abad rep is a bad rep. good to hear there fans of the new system. truth is i could care less where anyone spends their money. figured i'd try to be helpful but that isn't always the best idea.
