hey guys i like my new cobalt
hi i'm a new cobalt owner. i traded in my old 3000gt for an 06 ss/sc and damn its awesome. I never had intentions to start modding until I dropped a k&n filter in. I wish someone warned me that the sound of a whining blower would be so addicting.
so what's next. I doubt there's much more mods I could do for just $50 that adds that noticeable of a difference.

hey thanks guys!
hell yeah, too many options...
i've already thought about gms2 since i have a warrenty. but then i was thinking i'd need a good pro tune and put a couple interceptors in. guess its time to start saving $$

First good mod on that K&N drop in. Worth the money.

dude... looked around couldn't find any pics of the gt lol guess i didn't love it enough, it was falling apart.
gm tune sounds like it would hold me back. but i will look into that route.
would you recommend the STOP mounts? or are the zzp front and rears good enough

GM tune wouldn't hold you back, per se, but it's a warranty retainer.
As for mounts, there's a couple aftermarket pieces that are quality.
Then as SaberD recommended, LNF mounts.
This is because 05-07 SS suffers from wheel hop.
A combination of trans and engine mounts will help minimize it. There's more to help it even further, but most bother with those.

I just got a cobalt too. 09 SS t/c. Love it so much, been trying to figure out what to do to mine first. I was thinking of getting some K&N gear but apparently it's not street legal in NJ. :$
But good luck man with your mods!

Here's my cobalt, it's still pretty fresh

ha I used to have a 3000gt too, was a 92 vr-4 put way too much money into the motor, but the rest was falling apart. only went a year until I felt the itch for turbo power again so I picked up my 09 ss, still miss the vr-4 every now and then.

It was a dark green '98 base model. All it did was taught me how to drive stick. but awh man if it was a vr4 I would've kept that forever.

Congrats on the Cobalt! If you have $$$$ to spend, you can go as aggressive as you want tune and modding wise. I had a highly modified S/C at one point, now an 09 TC with GM Stage 1. Both were/are fun 
Good luck with your future modding
