Hey guys, figured this would be the best place to ask such questions. I'm gonna be looking to add a few minor mods to my car once i get it, and one is the exhaust/muffler. I want a deeper sounding machine pretty much. I got a price on the GMPP Performance Cat-Back exhaust from Forbes Chev, but i don't know if i want to spend that much money. Would i be able to use a muffler to achieve the same goal? What places do you guys suggest around Halifax for such thing? Any help would be great, thanks a lot!

if u just want to change sound and dont care about the hp gain or all that stuff u can get a magnaflow muffler from Canadian tire. But i recommend getting a full cat-back exhaust and header/downpipe....pricey, yes, however you get a good sound and hp gain...just remember to get a resinator to quiet it down abit...lol. Which ever way u go, dont get anything from the dealerships...they are to expensive.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I might just go with the full setup since in the end it'd be worth it. What places would you suggest around the HRM for this type of stuff?

Also i looked at Canadian Tire, and with the magnaflow they have there, do i just put the stock tip on it and i'm set?

 

What size cobalt do you have? 2.2, 2.4 or 2.0? If you have a 2.4 or 2.0, go buy a Borla 2.25" universal. About $100 for the muffler. About $45-50 to have it welded on. Not that expensive and just as deep as the GMPP kit. Thats all I did to my 2.4L sport. Some people on here have heard it. It was really deep with no rasp.

2.0L , its an 07 SS/SC, so if that would work, then i might go with that option.

Thanks a lot for the input, greatly appreciated! Did you buy it online? Or locally? Whats a good place to go get it welded on? Any body shop i take it.

Once again, thanks guys.

 

YOu have a SS/SC Go to a muffler ship and have them cut the exhaust just before the axel when it goes down to 2.25 and have them weld some 2.5" pipe from there and then get a magnaflow muffler welded on. There you go a 2.5" catback for under 200$

 

what did you get priced for that gmpp exhaust from the dealership? im in the market for the gmpp touring exhaust

 

go to the bedford carrol gm, i got my GMPP Performance catback for a tad over 600 that included the 3.5 inch pontiac stamped exhaust tip as well. its cheaper there for some reason other dealships wanted around 750.

 

Forbes Chev said it'd be $590 and some change installed.

 

thats pretty good i guess. I would just order a full cat-back magnaflow myself....but thats me..lol

 

wow not a bad price at all, considering CED is asking 565$US from their website.

 

i do all my shopping at Glubes Speed and sound, i dont trust anyone else.
if you go there i would just tell him that pyke told you about them and you thought to check them out.
what i did was go out and bought exhaust pipe from parts for trucks and a vibrant muffler and they built my 3`` exhaust

 

I'll send them a message asking for some pricing. Do they do installs there as well? Thanks a lot for the info too guys.

they do everything, motor builds, motor swaps, stereo builds upostery, pretty much everything you can think of.
PLUS 90% of the highest HP cars in nova scotia came out of there including the second most fasted import in the maritimes
