Congrats stu.... I'm gonna calm down on the modding as well.... I have spent a **** ton on parts lol. Me and the gf plan on getting a house sometime in the near future, if the company ever stops moving me around. So do you take ownership of it? Did you order your synapse intercooler yet is are you not gonna bother?

I can't wait for spring to get out for some meets....

Keep us updated on the house situation. You got the biggest mod of all of us haha, just not for the cobalt lol.

 

Congrats on the house Stu!
This summer im working my ass of finishing the cobalt and buying my second car witch is between a BMW 323i, S2000, Audi, or Lexus IS300 and then saving for a house, prob gonna buy my land 1st and buy one of them pre built homes that are dirt cheap and put it on the land.

 

Thanks everyone! Closing date is April 6th. And yeah, the countertop is cut around the toilet on the first floor. They must have got a smoking deal on the countertop. lol. I'll keep you guys updated!

Congrats, Dianna and I moved into our first home 3 months ago. you will love the "home owner" feeling

 

Congrats Stu! Not a bad area over there, only about 5 minutes away from my place haha. But Congrats to both of you!

 

congrats!!!.... i'm also thinking about not "moddin" the balt too much!! i need to get my life on track!! got a interview today for a new job so if that goes well #1 on my resolution list scratched, then it's on to finding a apt!!

 

does it really?

 

Yup it does, I'm catted. From what I have heard catless sounds even better

 

its not that hard to install it...took me 1/2 a day to take out the stock header,dp, exhaust and put the new ones on...you just have to get it welded. Not sure about the systems for the SS/TC but with my car it needed to be welded before the resinator and then again right before the pipe goes over the axle.

 

Yeah I'm figuring on 2 hours max and that's with taking the stock one off. My exhaust is in two sections. From the dp to the axle is one section and from the axle to the tip is the other. My girlfriends grandfather has a garage with a pit so I can walk right under the car. Also due to the car still being on the ground, I'll be able to fit it over the axle better. I'm installing it Friday or Saturday of next week. Can't wait

 

Little bit of an update..

Decided not to go with the Hahn CAI... I will be looking at the charge piping shortly, and i just put my order through for the GMS1! Can't wait to get it here and put it on! Got a great price (so it seems) from O'Regans for the install. Then once that is one i'll put everything else on since thats what the guys at CED suggested.

 

What did oregans quote you for an install

Also, what did you pay for the gm stage kit

 

$520 USD shipped from CED. On todays dollar it equals to about $550 CDN, which is much better then the almost $1000 for it here. Oh and a free Ecotec shirt with it :P

O'Regans Chev on Robie quoted me $90 an hour, and said it'd take 2 hours, so $180, which seems better then the dealers down your way.

 

Yeah if it works out for ya, I might have to make a trip up that way to get it installed lol

 

well got the tranny in the car on sat and the clutch broken in, all ready waiting to come out in april

When i talked to them they knew exactly what i was talking about, and had a price point for it. So they atleast know what they're doing so i'd like to trust them. I'll let you know.

BTW, Who is your insurance through? Mine is so high, would love to get it lower.

 

Mines through wawanessa

 

Well a little bit of an update. Drove home to digby today, got caught in a snow storm and took me and the gf almost 4 hrs to get here and usually it take 1.25 hrs. On the plus side I got my exhaust installed...... Sounds sick as hell. Very deep. Just got to get 3 stainless bolts to replace the stock ones in the flange and then I'll get it welded with stainless steel. Currently have a clamp holding it together so it won't leak.

All in all I'm completely satisfied with my full 3" stainless CIA turbo back.

 

Well.... what about the sound clips haha??

Also, i thought you could just use the stock stuff... thats what Dan told me, just had to take one piece out and whatnot, and replace it? What do you need welded etc? What are the bolts for?

 

Yeah I completly cut off the stock exhaust. I need to get new bolts for where the exhaust bolts to the dp because the bolt holes in the new exhaust are bigger than the ones in the stock exhaust. The part that needs to get welded where the exhaust comes in to pieces, where it joins over the axle it needs to be welded.

As for sound clips, it has been blustery all day and hasn't stopped snowing. If I did a sound clip, all you would hear is wind lol

 

Haha ya, the past few days have been windy as hell etc.

How does the tip line up to the bumper? Any pics? Can't wait to have mine installed!

 

The tip lines up perfectally...I'll get pics before I head out today.

 

I am still running the factory exhaust on my car. I'm kinda wondering if i should look into a nice cat back exhaust. I use to have a borla on my 03 V6 tiburon. And everyone told me it was one of the best sounding cars on the road. It wasnt too loud or raspy. It was deep and sounded incredible. So i was kinda thinking of getting a borla for the balt. But i wonder how they sound on a lsj ?? Anyone heard them before ?

 

Here's the pics

 

looks nice Jerren, you'll need to take a sound clip soon
