ok so i have 900 bucks maybe 1000 to spend on my car, i just sold all my appearance crap and i want to go either system or fast. i don't know what to do yet. and system wise i will not be buying used i will buy new so no offers please. and as far as fast i'm open to whatever i was thinking exhaust and tune but i d/k yet. so all ideas welcome

i guess i should've said this before, i have a G5 GT w/ an auto (i know lame)

 

i think you should get some LSJ injectors, an auto meter DPSS shift light, and a nice black and yellow car cover to keep it all protected. oh look what i just found https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/parts-66/misc-cobalt-stuff-sale-161807/ how wiered.

 

maganflow catback and a trifecta tune

 

give it to me

 

Performance FTW...

Exahust (magnaflow), TTR Engine Mount, Header/downpipe/highflow cat (Vibrant), tune...

 

ya if i could get that for 1000 sign me up lol

 

You should be able to get 3 out of the 4, for a $1000

 

I'd highly recommend getting a full exhaust system (headers, downpipe, and catback). I just completed mine but I should've done it long time ago. Then if you have some money left, get a tune.

 

lol u should PM me which exactly. and the tune i can get for around 200 bucks

well that was my original plan but i don't want to drop $1k for 15-20 WHP. what gains can i see with a full exhaust. b/c my other threads about exhaust no one provided dyno numbers

 

Exhaust should be good for around 8-12 HP depending on other mods and tune....

Magnaflow 2.5" on www.TurboTechRacing.com would be a nice choice:

^It will be a direct bolt up for your G5...

 

Save it for repairs lol...

 

my car is brand new pretty much, 08 w/ 15k miles

ok well lets say i decide to save a little more money and get boost, would leaving the stock exhaust on there restrict it that much? like what numbers could i see with a SC'd set up w/ no other supporting mods, except the SC set up and injectors

 

Yes you without a doubt will want a larger exhaust system, if you go with boost. Numbers cant be stated as there are way to many "unknowns"

You can't go wrong with getting an exahust...

 

i know and that was my original plan was to do full exhaust, but to me the gains just aren't worth that much money b/c this will be the last amount of money i spend on my car for a very long time and i want it to be something worth wild. not 10 hp

 

Exhaust and intakes will get you the best power per dollar, unless you go with nitrous... There is not a miricle mod that is cheap and give huge power... 10-12 HP is a good number just for an exhaust.

 

ya but like u can get a SC set up for like 1500, there was one guy sellin the whole set up for 1k and even without an exhaust i could expect like at least 50 WHP increase with low boost. so i don't know

 

I hope you have good luck. Mine SS an 05 with 33k and it has been babied its whole life. It has had already:

Moon roof switch and bezel
Ebrake handle assembly
Power steering motor
Airbag control module

among other things..

 

well ya but thats because urs is an 05 and that means it was the first year with all the problems.

 

i had an 06, i sold it with 33,000 miles and beat the living **** out of it and never had a problem, i talk to the guy i sold it to and its still problem free.

 

well if wanna supercharge the car at least you should upgrade to LSJ exhaust sytem, otherwise it's not worth boosting the car if your not gonna get the most out of it. I didn't "feel" my stage 2 until I got my full exhaust. but yeah... power will show gradually as you add mods to your car. $1K will get you closer but to your max potential. so to each his own.

 

i can see no good is going to come out of this. if you want real performance you need reliability, and with those you need money. if you dont have plans for that, then buy your system or save the money.

btw, i got a 08 cobalt ls 5spd with 16k miles on it, and im already piling turbo parts in my room. including engine build

 

i thought about it for a while i didnt want anything crazy. im gonna save up 2k buy the zzp turbo kit and do a low boost and then do exhaust later. maybe try that?

 

Its your car. Do what you wish.

Just remember one very simple thing. I'm still faster than you.

 

ok so i decided to just spend the however much on a laptop for school and than save the rest. so if anyone is selling a laptop let me know
