you shouldve heard my buddy scraping his car today.

at my school we have like 4 inch high speed bumps and his 240sx is 2 inches off the ground. even angling over it his exhaust was scraping sooooo bad. if he keeps going over it, he wont have an exhaust

I seem to recall reading this somewhere...

The other systems would have problems where they pass over the rear axle when lowered (other exhausts will bang against the rear axle because they designed the exhaust for use with a stock height car!). We also wanted an exhaust that had a nice deep throaty tone that wasnt too loud for highway use!


Yeah I read it on the LNF exhaust... but wouldn't there be some similarities with exhaust systems made by "company X" - I mean other than the collector flange the exhausts interchange...

Actually it's the header moving with the engine and hitting inside the tunnel under the car. It does hit the axle beam every now and again but only when there's a bunch of parts in the trunk! Lol

You need tranny mounts on the engine and poly mounts where the exhaust is hanging on the car.

and what teej said about gaskets is right too.

Reflex gaskets?

Remflex gaskets. Google them. I used it and it seals amazing. They are thicker and seal warped flanges

There is different sizes for bolt holes do measure before you order. I had extras but I gave them to some one who bought parts off me ( I can't remember who now)

Good Bye

Hey guys it has bin a few months since i posted its bin a long summer...

I have got a new job in a new city so im no longer in red deer.
On the last few days before my move i got rear ended by a 1996 F150.

I was at a complete stop and she hit me going 65.
My car was written off and i got a $57 tinted tail light ticket.

SO after a month of looking i could not find another cobalt that even felt like mine so i ended up getting a 2007 mazda speed6.

Thank you for all the help you guys gave me over the last few years and this is my tentative good by to the Cobaltss comunity.
