Cobalt Sleeper

So as in a couple of threads down, i have an automatic 07' white LT. No stick but lol whatever still love it. What are some things that would add HP and not cost alot? And whats a good exhaust that sounds decent?

Dont waste your money, either turbo it, or upgrade cars.

Looks or performance, few have money for both...wait a sec, your thread is entitled 'sleeper' you know what that means right, body-kits don't = sleeper. You don't have to turbo it, investing in header/exhaust, cams, 2.4L intake and some ECU/auto tranny tuning will make it feel like a completly different car

Body kits don't = sleeper. They usually seperate cars from the crowd.

N02 would be your best bet dude. Get all bolt ons (intake/exhaust/2.4 mani) and a 75 shot and enjoy running 14's all day long. Get tuned for it all and you could be seeing 13's. Just make sure you get yourself a tranny cooler for that auto and it will take it like a champ.

That's a recipe for some serious SS upsets.

if you want looks and some performance go with a CAI, GMPP exhaust, and a B+M Shiftplus...........then from there decide if you want to dump your cash into a 2.2 build or upgrade to an SS later down the road.....

The real question to ask yourself is what you want to do with the car and since you say sleeper... Why the **** are you gonna do an auto 2.2 and put the facias and side skirts of the ss/sc/tc? That is like saying your a 14 second car and doing 17's.

Ouch, chill, let the guy do what he wants. The SS body kit is the best there is.

To the OP, do what you want. Don't worry about be a sleeper, just love your car and treat it well.

kinda defeats the purpose of a sleeper...

but i think personally

Nitrous is the BEST route of going sleep. Only thing you can see on a nitrous kit, that shows is the purge when you hit it

but N20 if you want a beasty sleeper..and still a car that can kick ass

Body Kit would set the car aside from being a sleeper, but my question off that is what about decals in the window. would that set it aside from a sleeper.....And anything can be fast just be ready to max out the cards )
