does anyone know how bad the fitment problem is for this for my 4 d sedan 2.2 09 lt or if there is a fitment problem


05-10 CHEVY COBALT EXHAUST - BOLT ON - (304 STAINLESS - 3 IN)

 

Don't have it, never heard of it. What kind of issue are you having?

 

mandrel exhaust systems is a good company. some people on here call it mes but ive heard nothing but good things about fitment and quality.

 

3" is serious overkill for a 2.2. Buy an SS factory exhaust from an SS owner who has upgraded. You should be able to find a complete exhaust for $100 or less.

 

agreed, then chop the stock muffler off and add either a magnaflow or dynomax muffler.

 

2.5 inch max for NA motors or ur just killing power

 

Or just leave the stock muffler, it flows well and has a nice deep tone.

ps.........you don't need a 3" exhaust on a car without a turbo unless you're a ricer

 

^ is that your car? site says the exhaust is for the cobalt, not ion. not sure if the length is different

EDIT: nvm, saw they had a different one for the ion. guess thats a bad one

 

its still a bottle neck though, i noticed a difference in flow with my dynomax muffler. But yes the stock ss/sc exhaust is preatty good overall.

 

I was actually referring to the T/C exhaust, which should be even less restrictive than the S/C exhaust.

 

im buyying a turbo kit in a couple weeks thats why i bought a 3 inch pipe im getting new manifolds first before the turbo

 

i already ordered it its getting made should be here next week do u guys think i still should call them on monday and tell them i wanta 2.5 instead

 

if you going turbo hold onto the 3 inch imo

 

dont even bother with this company, this exhaust leaks, doesnt fit right, is too short, and is just plain shitty quality. im not the only one either. and when i told them and even showed them pictures of how **** the fitment was they said it was my fault becuase my car appears to have a body kit on it. yet my car has the STOCK SS kit.

 

if i have problems ill just throw my stock exhaust back on and return the other one and buy a different one any suggestions for a new exhaust if this one isnt good

 

Well crap.....not to TJ but I'm looking into the 2.5'' system myself. Who else has had fitment issues documented by this company? I know it's fairly cheap, but I'm leery of wasting 140 on a part that doesn't fit right........
