Well i post on here cause i see so many different opinions and no facts, so might as well corral as many opinions as i can for some what of a fact.

 

lol get some HP and then worry about your exhaust...

 

I would just grab a Tsudo exhaust off ebay, mine is by option racing and it was $161 shipped! my car sounds like a street bike! way better than you can do with any kind of mikey mouse muffler delete. I love it! and it installed in less than 30 minutes.

 

my 2.2 is running a obx header and catless dp to a tsudo 2.5 **** is obnoxious in the 3k range i could see the same on a straight pipe setup lol x3

 

I bet it sounds awful! NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER take the Cat or resonator off a 4cyl car unless its Turbocharged!!!

I see idiots in integras with header/no resonator/catback acting like the have more hp with no resonator but in reality they just sound awful and it makes no difference.

this is back when i first got my car and chopped the muffler off

 

Even a ss/tc sounds terrible with a resonator and muffler delete.. lol
Cobalt SS/TC 2009 Turbo Catback part 2 - YouTube

 

resonator delete is bad news

 

id keep a ss/tc resonated, with no cat no muffler, but this a 2.2 thread!!!

 

i have stock header and DP with a GMPP catback and i get compliments on how it sounds all the time, deep and no rasp... i'd never consider going cat-less, possibly a ZZP 2.5 catted DP but that's about it

 

St most the idea is idiotic and noobish but he himself is not a moron. Very uncool man. OP your latest update to your plan sounds solid. When your done post a vid!!

 

I was thinking you might be banned. There is no reason for your comment and it is not welcomed here. If you are unable to offer friendly advice, then do not post. Thanks.

Sounds like someone with really bad gas.

The lack of backpressure by doing this will kill what little power you have while making it sound like a wet fart at the same time. DO NOT DO IT!!!

I had an 06 SS/SC for a long time and I went down this road before. Sounded horrible. Drove it with that horrible set-up for about a week before I couldn't take it anymore. I ended up putting a ZZP 2.5 inch downpipe with the biggest resonator I could get and a Magnaflow muffler. Sounded awesome.

 

Woah who's the speedlimit guy? I've never seen him and he's a mod?

 

I agree...I've been a member on this site for almost 6 years and never met the sherrif. How did he becom a mod in under 2 years when I've been here 6?

 

Site went under new ownership a little while back. They took over when everything was slower than ****.

 

He is above me

 

^ those guys are both above me

 

Really? Huh. I knew you were up there Black. So I'm guessing he's one of the guys that took the forum over?

 

Yes. He is from Internet Brands who owns the site.

 

Ah ok makes sense now. I had no clue who he was lol. Any way to see the list of mods on the site?

 

I think there is. I just can't seem to find the link.

 

Seems my report was taken care of! Thanks for putting that guy in his place. He posts a-hole remarks all the time and don't know crap.. anyways. I think OP is on the right track now..

 

Ok well if you find it let me know.

Um...not to sound like an ass but I took it as a joke. He's blunt and if you don't like it then it's your problem. And I think he knows a little bit about the cobalts/redlines

 

BTW, think of your engine as an air pump. Bigger outlet/ bigger inlet. Intake, throttle body, head, cams, injectors, fuel preassure reg., and then exhaust.. there's several things to do first. Not really ALL those but most to get more power out of an NA car.. it will b slow with just exhaust
