I daily drive a 07 auto Balt with a MAgnaflow cat-back exhaust system and Injen intake. I need more power. I would have bought a manual if I knew I'd end up driving the car. I am thinking about purchasing an aftermarket header and downpipe. I considered a small shot of nitrous (maybe a 35 or most a 50 shot) but I'm not sure. I don't want to mess anything up. Any ideas?

 

do a little search there are tons of threads on what others are doing to get a little extra hp. Gl.

 

Header and dp are a good idea. A tune after that would probably also go a long way. I believe the '07s can use LS2edit.

^Yep, but still don't expect a lot of power though.

 

how bout this, H/DP/I 75shot.

 

2.4L Manifold swap. most power per dollar.

Header/dp

Tune.

 

How about the Vibrant header/downpipe/high flow cat?

It comes as a complete kit and is top notch

 

the 2.2 has been proven to hold a 75 shot pretty damn good just so you know

 

Id get a 2.4L mani, H/DP, then run a 50 wet with a tune.

that should get u a damn quick 2.2L.

 

75 shot best bang for ur buck.

 

does the vibrant have the capabilities to connect to an 08 auto with sai? and also does it have that ricer sound (

 

I appreciate all of the help and ideas, guys. I'm thinking:

2.4l manifold
Vibrant Stainless Steel Header/dp/hi-flow cat
50-75 shot
ls2edit tune (if possible)

Here she is:

 

The Vibrant full length is a nice piece, but it really is a little big for a 2.2(1.75" primaries)
