It looks good, wish they had more muffler choices, and its cheap enough to replace it when it rots out lol. I might try but maybe replace the muffler with a better flowing one.

 

buy the 1 w/o muffler for 145 shipped and pic ur own muffler

 

Yeah theres somebody here that has that. You realize its just a Magnaflow muffler and not a full stainless magaflow system right? Also there is no resonator, so be prepared for it to bring the noise

 

w/ no resonator its gonna sound pretty horrible

 

http://www.exhaustdepot.net/doforpahe.html put this on their with a pacesetter header and your problem is fixed :;granted it will be loud still but less raspy::...adds a resonator back into the exhaust

 

Thats kindof neat. Do you have to cutoff the end of the pacesetter header and weld on a 3 bolt flange to use it though?

 

that is suppose to be a direct bolt on to the pacesetter header from my understanding

 

If it was 3" I'd buy.

 

they do. http://www.mandrelexhaustsystems.com...alt/Categories

 

Wow, I'll probably buy that within the month.

 

thats a good price, its what exhaust systems should cost IMO. too bad it doesn't come with a resonator though...$50 bucks for resonator + $20-$40 for install and that problem is fixed.

 

yup it can be a real fix...and when i drop in the younger 2.2/supercharger into my car im putting my pacesetter header on, that d/p, and that 2.5 inch exhaust...just dont know about that 3 inch just yet

 

If you use a 5x8x14 Magnaflow, there is no rasp except just a bit on cold start up. After some heat get's in it, it sounds nice. My Cobalt has all stock piping with resonator removed and a 5x8x14 swapped in with a 4" tip. Sounds just right. The 4x9x14 mufflers have less packing = more rasp.

 

If i get the 3'' will it fit my 08 cobalt LS, i got no headers. do you guys know a good headers and downpipe?

 

there is a few headers out there for the cobalt...but i wouldnt do the 3 inch on a 2.2 unless ur f/i...do like the pacesetter header, that link to that d/p that fits the pacesetter header that bolts into the stock place and then get that 2.5 inch exhaust and you will have a decent exhaust setup....thats what i plan on running

 

I have no resonator on my car and it sounds good, i have the pacesetter one.
and now i have a 3" home made exhaust with a vibrant muffler

 

Hey Pykie where you get your exhaust done at? I'm considering doing a custom 2.5 inch exhaust.

 

Why on earth does everyone run a 2.5" exhaust on a little 2.2L engine? That's way too big and unnecessary unless you just like making noise. Rule of thumb for n/a 4 cyl engines. 2.25" is the best all around performer, 2.5" is when you have a power adder (nitrous) or big cams/head work. If you're making 250+hp then 2.5" will work. Otherwise, it's overkill.

 

if you run a resonator like i put on my system from them it sounds great!

 

right now im running 2.25 and if you look at my signature im getting parts up for the s/c addition ::thats when im doing the 2.5::..some people just dont look at everything they just automatically jump the gun...2.5 is big but not that big for a 4 cylinder....my rule of thump is anything 175-300 do 2.5 ::its not overkill ::...anything past 300 upgrade to 3 inch exhaust...

 

I'm going to run a 3" and it's definately not overkill.

 

big thing i see on urs coolvey like i said in a earlier post is F/I ::turbo:: ....the 3" will help that turbo spool faster than the 2.25 ur running right now

 

I realize that. It was joke. I just ordered mine. I'll let everyone know how it is.

 

its worth it
