yes you read correctly...side pipes like those on the old corvette stingray. i have been considering installing them on my car instead of the way overdone (in my opinion) fast-furiousish fartcans..they are ok but not for me....

BOTTOM LINE what are your opinions people??

i sold one of these the other day... ( i work at summit )

 

omg....

in for lulz

 

Lmao someone had a picture of someone who did that...

it even had "long tube" headers that came out the fender too.. looked gay as hell..

 

bulky as **** lol

 

well they might look ok on the stingray but for our cobalt's

 

yeah im kinda on the fence...i know i will like the look itsself...but its the sound/performance that im tryin to work out...back pressure, proper cylinder breathing, sound...etc etc

how bulky are they? i mean i planned on using them in place of a body kit side valance... the front and rear bumper will be low enough to match ...

 

Dude thats gonna look horrible..

And really, your just going to be made fun of...

 

they are pretty damn big..depending on how u install them they could turn out completely wrong.. there is a thread around here somewhere that area 47 started that has a couple pics of it.. ud need a big side skirt to cover them up..or ud need to tuck them up under the car and just have a cut out for the end of the pipe

 

to you all, thanks. i wanted to see how the cobalt clan would receive the pipes and now i prob wont put them on lol...damn...so much less expensive than a hahn racecraft! tho anythings better than the cat only system im running currently (as in no muffler)

 

so don't get a fart can style exhaust... simple solution.

 

if you do them subtle like the viper or the mustang's, it could be ok, but most likely


FAIL

 

if u put that **** on ur car u should be kicked right in the *****

 

Haha i think he gets the point guys lol..

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

indeed I GET THE POINT!!! im just pre-planning a major build including a full smoothing and fiberglassing of 90% of the interior...so i need a bit of feedback to keep my wild and crazy ideas grounded lol


lord sakes! talk about an auspicious entry to cobaltss.net :-P

 

thats what happens when you are a huge ricer

 

this.

 

no offense to ricers...they do their thing. but im not a ricer. ricer is a term that specifically refers to a niche of people that tune import cars generally of asian origin. hence the reference to "rice." a cobalt dosnt qualify due to the manufacturer of origin being an american company....

 

ive seen riced out american cars lol, ive seen cobalts riced out

 

Uncle Ben's ring a bell. there is such things as American Rice. like mentioned, it is a style, doesn't necessarily pertain to the origin of the car

 

I bet if this were a chick asking the same question there would be 8 pages of response saying how rad it would be.

Seriously though, it would look like complete ****.

 

R.I.C.E.= Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement side pipes on a front wheel drive COBALT = RICE
i hope your side skirts melt off!

 

fail. rice stands for this

Race
Inspired
Cosmetic
Enhancement


it can apply to any car

 

So, since I own a Cobalt, it is alright to do gaudy ******* kits and stupid ****?

Damn, I missed that in my fine print! Talk about perks of owning an american car! Maybe the government should point this out to people to revive the american auto economy.
