I was just wondering if its stupid to get gauges in my 2.2 since i dont really need them and i have like no performance mods... the reason i'm askin is because my friend said he would sell me his cobalt air-fuel ratio gauge for cheap since he is getting a wideband... so is it worth the money or just a useless mod?

 

in my opinion i think it would be pretty cool to hve that gauge in ur 2.2. who cares if people think its lame or not. if u like it..do it.

 

Depends on what guages you plan on getting.

Guage with information you cannot get from you driver information center in the instrument cluster are ok. But if it info you can get from that, then a guage is just redundant and unnecessary.

 

I agree 100%. i have a catback and i already ordered headers and a downpipe and im looking to get some gauges. i really dont care what other people think its my car and if i like it thats all that matters.

 

hell yah man. who cares about the haters. **** em.

 

If they are not functional, I see no reason to add them to your car.

 

how would it not be functional...it measures air fuel ratio....seems pretty functional to me

 

The gauge you are specifically talking about, the Autometer Cobalt AFR, is a narrow band gauge and won't do much for you at all. There are some fun gauges you can put in a 2.2 that can be very useful. The Autometer D-PIC for instance.

 

Gotcha, now this makes me wonder why it would be stupid to add it to any car? lol

 

whta are u sayin ?

Ya im not really concerned with haters or anything, im just wondering if its worth the money, and i am talkin about the autometer narrowband and i know it wont do much but im almost getting it for free so... and i understand about the non-functional argument, and it would be functional but not really necessary...

 

Like I said before, if it is info you can't normally get from any of the car's guages or information center, then go for it.

It's your car.

 

damn, that is a functional gauge! I probably will get gauges now just for that

 

I plan on getting some that I think everyone should have instead of just dummy lights. These would be:

Oil Pressure
Battery Voltage
Water Temp (accessable thru the information center but just like to be able to glance at it)

 

Nothing is stupid if you like it, who gives a **** what anybody else thinks if it's what you want. Go for it!!

 

ITs your car man, personalize it!!

 

Those are what I want! Heck my base-model Beretta had all those 15 years ago. I don't know why they aren't included anymore; its my only real gripe about the interior of the Cobalt.

 

Works fine for me...does exactly what it was made for.

 

im getting a autometer D-PIC....unless aeroforce comes out with an aeroforce for the 2.2.

 

because, they cause issues.

if you don't need those sorts of gauges, why have them?

what would happen is, if they were REAL gauges, and not just idiot displays, then you'd have people in wanting to know why their neighbors car idled with 3 more psi or oil pressure and .2 more volts.

 

Adding Anything into a 2.2 is a waste of money... save it and put it towards a upgrade to an 08 ss/sc

 

OK so now my problem is a 3 or 2 pod gauge pillar, ill be getting the autometer cobalt air fuel ratio narrowband from my friend, the autometer cobalt dpic... so should i just stop there or get a 3rd? And how much does the dpic cost?

 

i think cobalt-addiciton has them for $175+shipping...I may be wrong though. im going to wait to see if aeroforce is going to come out with a gauge for the 2.2's
