Good choice, so where are you getting your downpipe from? I got mine from clearimage auto along with the header. You will definetly want a tune I suggest going with Trifecta as my 2.4 is night and day since I got my tune.

yes, catless on any non-turbo cobalt will probably not sound nice

i have stock muffler back on but a shorter resonator, 18". and i am just got boosted over the weekend and it's alright but if you do anything besides keeping the stock muffler or spending serious money on one of those quiet muffler it will sound bad.
