Go Catback? or just Muffler and Tip?
Hey, Im new here, I got a Cobalt LT 2.2, just tinted the windows and bought 18" ASA rims, got some money left over and was planning to put lowering springs, and an exhaust. Should i go for the Magna flow cat back? or just the muffler and tip? will i see any difference in performance? Thanx!

Ive had my intake for a while now.. about 3 months or so, and 3k miles later, never had a problem with the CEL light... I dont really ever recall having anybody having problems with the Injen CAI, on the LS models... Then again I could be wrong..

I definately suggest you don't go cheap with just a muffler and tip. That always drives me crazy seeing a car with nice wheels and such with just a big fat muffler/tip.

So I got a magna flow muffler to start, and next week getting the 2 1/4 piping done, which was recommended by the guy. Is there any way of lowering the sound of the muffler if i bring it back?

the 2.2L do a catback. But is you have the 2.4L do just a muffler. That is what I am going to do. The 2.4L already have a 2.5 exhaust from the headers to the muffler, then it drops down to 2.25. So I am doing a Magnaflow exhaust with a 2.5 inlet, and the will be equal to a catback. And cheaper too.
