Best Exhaust for 2.2L?
I am going to put a new exhaust system on my 06 LT. It is just stock right now so I need the best exhaust that will give me the most power for cost. Any Suggestions?

Well, with just an exhaust, you are not really going to feel much of a power gain. I suggest a tsudo n1 catback. Its a great price, and I think it sounds great. Best bang for the buck IMO. Other good suggestions would be GMPP or Megan.

I would avoid magnaflow with any 4 banger. I had an exhaust from them and it sounded like a pissed off weed whacker. Im going with a Tsudo this weekend, this website has the cheapest price and a video clip so you can hear it!

The magnaflow sounds great on the cobalt IMO. I've got the magnaflow with a K&N intake and I love it. Not horrifically loud or annoying. Given I went with the 2.25" and most people go bigger. I didnt feel like having no bottom end power, so I went with the smaller diameter.

it will fit but but i wouldn't suggest using it until you actually turbo your car because it has a 3" diameter, so just try to fit the exhaust on right after you turbo it.

would the Tsudo be recommended for a supercharged car? I am going to do a M62 swap but first Im doing supporting mods so I see that the Tsudo has 2.36 inch piping which is almost 2.5 so what do you guys think

I like my megan but its loud for where I live. I used a silencer for it when I'm not tryin to be cool 
The sound doesn't really bother me but when I come rolling in at 2 am or leave for work/school @ 6am I can see where it would **** my neighbors off.

haha yeah, I try to keep my foot off the gas when I am in my neighborhood. But my Cobalt is a hell of a lot quieter than my cavalier was... it was a dual magnaflow with a pacesetter header....shittiest exhaust I've ever heard.
