Well i bought my car as an auto after having 2 turbo dsms that were 5 speed...so i kinda missed the 5 speed part. Also had a non turboed eclipse and the 2.2 is actually faster. But my question is would it be gay/sound bad if i put an exhaust on my auto 2.2?? If any i would get one that is quite until you hit higher rpms...jsut wanted to see if having an exhaust and intake would free up some power.

 

Not at all. Putting a nice looking and sounding exhaust system that will free up a few hp is a good idea for just about any car. Go for it man.

 

about 10hp if your lucky if that sounds/ breaths a little better

 

To the OP....what kind of aftermarket exhaust are you looking for? Loud....quiet? Flashy....or low key? Just wondering b/c I could help you find what your looking for

 

The GM touring exhaust is pretty nice. Its noticable, but not obnoxious.

 

I agree!

I think thats the exhaust that would fit you the best.
You could also look into getting an ss/sc or ss/tc cat-back.

 

An ss/sc exhaust is probably the best bang for your buck out there. If money is an issue, that is undoubtably a great option.

 

Im looking for a quiet exhaust...one that isnt loud unless i get on it you know? Also not too flashy jsut want it to look nice from the rear maybe a nice tip. i dont want something obnoxious and ricey. Just something that sounds good/quieter at idle and low rpm..and one that will actualyl help with power

 

tsudo all the way, around $225 shipped on ebay

full stainless

sounds great, quiet at idle, deep and loud but not too loud at high rpm

 

the t/c exhaust will fit no other car, from what i've heard. it has a different flange.

you could always pick up a used Corsa from a SS/SC like i did. i love the thing.

 

black bolt how does yours sounds?? can you feel a difference now witht he intake and exhaust?? and is the exhaust quiet

 

Most of he Corsa exhaust set ups I have seen are fairly loud...if you want to follow the saying..."loud when you want it to be and quite when it needs to be" - some options would def. be:

1. Tsudo N1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCWGHq0h0jE
- http://www.speed-element.com/servlet/Detail?no=156

2. GM Performance Touring - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGJeeebRqQc

3. Magnaflow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgXru...eature=related
- http://shopping.msn.com/results/shp/...cobalt,scId=13

Lots of options for exhaust systems....personal preference really...but these are some of the more quite ones...hope this helps

 

yea i jsut dont want to be a ricer putting exhaust on an auto cobalt

 

How would that be "ricer"? Ricer would be putting a giant wing, chrome 16" wheels, flames and bullet hole stickers all over your car.

Nothing "ricer" about a nice aftermarket exhaust system.

 

An SS/SC exhaust is 2.25", more than large enough, as large as most aftermarket exhaust systems, and I'm getting rid of mine once I upgrade to a 3". Probably want 75+ shipping. With a zzp downpipe it sounds amazing, but it's very quiet unless you're really getting on it.

 

hey sentry. when you you wanna get rid of it. pm me. i've been looking for 1

 

i felt a little difference with the exhaust. and Corsa is FAR from quiet. lol. i like it though, it has that nice hum when you're driving along and it screams when you open it up. i really like the corsa disclaimer:

"CORSA exhaust systems are not warranted to meet any specific local, state or federal noise ordinances. Please check applicable laws before installing."

LOL

 

if u wanted to hear the ss/sc exhaust on a 2.2l here it is i made a clip on youtube when i had it done last summer got the exhaust local for 100 and had it welded up for 50 so thats def the best bang for the buck n it is still nice and quiet compared to tsudo or magnaflow.

the only other thing i did in this vid was the intake mod at the time where you take the big plastic thing out of the front bumper / fender area.

 

^^^^^ thats exactly what i have been wanting and i knew the ss/sc exhaust would be it. whitty that sounds really good. it has a nice little rumble. still still quiet. thats exactly what i will be doing

 

i like that tsudo one but i cant get the e-mail thing to work to see how much it would be shipped to canada ...... also do anyone here on the form have this cat back on their ls or lt????

 

i have it and love it

 

Probably next friday I'll be buying a 3", and I'm guessing a week to ship it and get it installed.

Soooo, maybe 2 weeks and it will be available? Get a nice stainless downpipe and it will sound great.

I have no idea how to ship it though, or how much it will be.

 

i got a stock LSJ dp thats catless. so maybe it should sound pretty good.

 

well my friend help me

i was gonna get a muffler delete
for some reason i loved the sound b/c it reminded me of my srt4

but i like jdm angle exhaust and i do like loud...srt4 loud

so whatcha recommend?

 

Hmmm. Well as far as I know, theres no canister style (or as you call them....JDM angle) exhausts available for an SS/TC that I know of yet. I could try and get in contact with ARK and see if they have anything in the works for an SS/TC.

My recommendation for now would be get an aftermarket downpipe and just hold off on the cat-back. B/c with summer just around the corner i'm sure many companies are finishing up their R&D on all kinds of new products for the SS/TC's and will be unveiling them soon. A new downpipe will open your exhaust up a good bit, and make it a bit louder for now.
