Yes, that will bolt right up. IMO 2.5" is a little big for the 2.2. I've also heard that the Megan is really loud, but to each his own.

I'd find a used cat back off an SS/SC. Because its a factory exhaust its quieter than the aftermarket alternatives and being used is should be WOW cheaper.

the 2.4 inlet is alittle big for your LT ... plus its just the muffler.. why not just buy a new exhaust?

oh and all the drift spec systems are on backorder... I have it and i love it personally if you want i can post vids

1. the stock piping for the cobalt exhaust is 2.25... now... your putting on a 2.4" exhaust so the muffler inlet would be too big...

2. What makes you want this muffler so bad? you could spend less money on a good catback that will get you good proven gains...

Nah, 2.5" will be fine. A 2.2L engine isnt that small for a 4-cyl........hell my friend's '07 Focus has a 2.5" Tru-Benz cat-back on it. And yeah, the Megan will be loud. Loud is good though IMO, lol. My full exhaust is hella loud on my 2.4SS.

that is a whole catback.... comes from the downpipe- back.... its basically the same muffler just the other one just has a titanium tip... which IMO.. its not worth the extra money... just get the catback and be happy... its definatly worth it...
