Its a little raspy, but overall it sounds great man, nice system

Isn't the Pacesetter one of the cheapest exhausts you can buy for the Cobalt?? Considering that, it sounds damn good

it almost sounds like the corsa sport catback, and for one third the price

Well it was Winter weather out, and he probably had just started it, so it was cold. Better sound when the engine warms up...

Well I just went to the Magnaflow website, and heard an awesome sounding exhaust system. On a car like this, I'd rather have better sound and quality of the system than performance. I don't want the system to be raspy EVER! At first, I thought it was cool, till I heard the rasp... that's exactly why so many people hate exhaust on a 4cyl euro racer thingy, and I'm one of them!

It sounds alot better when it warms up, I have it and it sounds like **** right after you start the car, but once it warms up, then tone is orgasmic

Exactly, it was winter when I made that vid too so...


The best is when your accelerating on to a on ramp or passing a bunch of traffic.... sounds real nice, ...I guess unless you have this exhaust you have no idea really....

It probably sounded better a couple of weeks later, too. I had a pacesetter on my neon. Made that little thing sound like an SRT. One thing though, especially to those who live up north. The metal on that exhaust is not a good quality. It will last, but you need to make sure that the paint stays on it. They can rust kind of quick if you dont take care of it.

Moral of the story: Wash the car frequently & spray paint the piping if it get scratched.

I was going to ceramic coat the whole thing. Will make it a bit heavier, but you won't have to worry about corrosion, and it will insulate it to keep the exhaust gases warmer to exit faster.

Well don't make a vid of it when it's raspy, I want to hear the thing in it's prime. What it's going to sound like while I'm driving around town. Cause I lost all interest watching that vid (no offense). I know you guys aren't reps or anything, but help would be nice for a fellow Balt owner.

Hack, thank you. My point exactly. BaltMod, good idea. The pacesetter definitely sounds better after it's been on the car a couple of weeks though. They burn out some of the fiberglass thats inside and it gets deeper. And when you couple it with a CAI, it just souds evil coming and going.
