That should help you find your exhaust.

Auto or manual transmission?
If your in an auto, the absolute BEST bang for the buck you can get is a good tune by HPTuners. But wait until you've got your intake and exhaust,
You should be putting down close to 185-195 WHP with that. Just enough to make a stock SS/SC sit up and take notice.

go gm exhaust

seems like lots of people are going for the gm exhausts cuz of warentys. and there good quality and sounds awsome. i just put mine on monday and it was simple it took about 20 mins to just put on the gm exhaust and ca dp. the whole project which was ripping off old header dp and exhaust. then installing ca header and dp gm exhaust took about 4 hrs very easy just very hard to work with the header on the 2.4 no room. cant get to the bolts easy. everything else simple.. and we DID IT WITH FLOOR JACKS AND JACK STANDS ONLY 1.5 OFF THE GROUND.

Welcome to the site. This place is growing fast. As long as the trolls don't keep bothering us. Anyways, I would get the GMP CAI, GMP exhaust, and GMP manifold. Great mods and it keeps your warnity

It will give your engine a little better performance, but not as much as a CAI.
And a CAI from a reputable dealer will NOT void your warranty.
In fact neither will an exhaust or headers. Most people get the GMPP performance or touring catback because they sound so damn good.

First just let me say, congrats on the car, and you'll love it. Next, everyone is gonna tell you to get.........well.......whatever they have, as they think its the best (which is probally why they bought the stuff to begin with instead of other stuff). A guy with a Corsa exhaust isn't gonna tell you to get a Borla, and a guy with an Injen intake isn't gonna tell you to get the AEM.

From what i've seen, the simple bolt ons for our cars are all quality. Stay away from ebay products........and the only bad review i've really seen on an exhaust was the Megan Racing cat-back.

I have an AEM cai, CA header/CA XTC 2.5" de-cat downpipe, an ARK N2 cat-back and the Ingalls ETD as my "under the hood" mods so to speak. Love them all, they all sound and perform great and i'd reccomend any/all of them to you. But don't take my word........create your own pallete of performance parts and enjoy your SS man!
