Automatic 2.2 07 LT

Ok, so i know that having a automatic im limited to the overall performance of a cobalt,
but i still want to be able to win the race against my grandmas walker,
i was thinking with out going forced induction a few mods just to make my cobalt a little more personal then the others, my question is how much would it cost and what type/ brand or if i should do it at all and why

C.A.I
3 inch Exhust
Megan Catback Exhust
2.4 air manifold
lowering springs (how low can i/should go)
and of course the tune

My Suggestions of what im going to possibly do if I convince my parents

K&N CAI is about 220-250
Catback exhaust is like 500-700 depending on brands and if you get it used or new.
The 2.4 Manifold kit is about 255.

Not sure about the springs
The tune is about 300$ if you get it from trifecta because thats what most cars on their site are but the cobalts have like their own dealer that you get linked to from trifecta.

If I were in your shoes I would start with appearance mods. 3" exhaust is way overkill too, 2.25 is large enough.

If you have money to spend go with the following...

Injen CAI
2.4L Manifold
Vibrant Header
Vibrant DP
2.5" Exhaust
'07+ Cams
Lightweight Pulleys
Trifecta Tune
Eibach Springs

That should put your 16.4 second car into the 15.9-16.0 range maybe even better, who knows.

No joke, I had everything in that list except for cams and tune and I was running 16.0's all day.

That's why I suggested appearance mods, not worth it. I say n20.
