So yesterday I noticed my exhaust got massively raspy through the entire RPM range. So I get out of the car and hear a lot of air coming out from under the car about where the DP connects to the cat-back. Well it was dark out and I decided to have a look at it in the morning. I roll under there in the morning and find this.


Yeah I don't know what happened but basically the exhaust gasket shattered like brittle plastic into 4 pieces, one of which is on the highway somewhere

So if you ever want to make your car sound like a honda for some random or strange reason, just loosen your DP bolts

 

wowzors...that blows dude lol

 

I thought this thread was going to be someone asking how they can get the Honda sound....thank gosh I was wrong haha.

 

oh come on now you can engage Vtek bro

 

Wow... I should do that to mine, then it would be JDM as F*ck!

 

Lol fixed now, I ended up getting the SS/SC gasket since I have the DP to match. If anybody ever has to replace these just get the 10 dollar one from the dealer. Cause it works for sure.

 

lol
did we buy the one your using at like shucks to something>???

 

The one that was in there I have no idea where it was from. I tried buying a generic one from advanced auto but it leaked and I had to modify it to fit so I couldnt get my money back.

The GM one is a 2 piece stamped metal, far better than either of the ones I had.

 

you drive a 2.2 its gonna sound like a honda haha...

 

Ouch...this coming from a honda guy....

 

very much agree with this.

to the OP most n/a 4 bangers sound alike.

 

i disagree
there is a DISTINCT sound difference between diff makes and even models

 

lol but he didnt say that...yes there are distinct differences in the sounds of each and every cobalt out there... But your driving a 2.2 liter its going to sound raspy simple as that... Its not gonna rumble or make you wet your pants that car was not meant for anything but good gas mileage and a trip to get you back and forth from place to place simple as that....

Im not dissing the car just telling you the honest truth

 

my 2.2 rumbles...dont know what your spokin

 

iiiiiiIIIIIIIMMMMMM GAAAAAAAAYYYYyyyyyyyyyy

sorry a honda just drove by. what were you saying?

 

agreed.

 

lmao. i knew it was gonna happen.

 

i always think they are saying
hhhHHHHHHOOOOOOONNNNNNN DUUUuuuuuuuUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

ppppppeeeEEEEENNNIIIiiiiiiissssssss

 

that is about how the sound..but your just proving your gay point...lol

 

When it idles it goes "homohomohomohomo" lol

 

Mine is deep and sounds nothing like a Honder, all the Honder guys I know are raspy as hell, especially in V-tec. Honestly my boy's RSX sounds good until he hits V-tec... then the rasp attacks.

 

i'm sure honda guys would say the same about their car sounding deep and 2.2's sounding like ****. deep sound is to the ear of the beholder.

 

this is why i run a stock catback

to quiet to tell if it's deep or not lol

to the O.P.; stop by your local hardware store n pick up a sheet of copper.

make a gasket out of that, and you will never have gasket issues again.

 

the honda sounds is badass yo......
