hey everyone im new here on the cobalt ss forums...i have an 08 GTI MkV but plan on sellin it here reeeeeeeal soon and gettin the ss/tc. i plan to get it white, add LSD, add the high rise wing, lower it a little, 10k HIDs, and put some nice gold racing rims...man i cant wait! does anyone have any suggestions which gold rims would look nice on the ss? if u can please post pics or links that would be great! oh also if u have any other suggestions to do to the car or if any mods are out yet! thnx for the help everyone!!!!!

 

Welcome, make sure ya get a tune asap!

 

Welcome!

 

welcome

 

theres hahns downpipe, cat-back, intercooler, charge piping, springs, k&n drop in filter, swaybar, and tunes. and theres intakes coming up prolly by the beginning of next month

 

yeah ive read about the tunes and they seem awesome...ive read a tune for the cobalt ss/tc puts it into low 13's posssssssibly 12.9 cuz it gives it somethin like 300hp? please correct me if im wrong cuz i dont wanna get my hopes up lol....and im only 19 so i gotta talk to my pops bout the tune cuz hes a little iffy bout that stuff...and doesnt the tune void the warranty??

 

ya tune voids it right away. so if u want to keep ur warranty just go with cat-back, intake, intercooler, piping and u should be over 300whp easily

 

Hahn's overpriced IMO. You can do a custom intake if you want for a short ram, they let everyone know you're turbo'd haha.

I don't know about 12.9 on just a tune but low 13's definitely.

 

welcome to the site
everything voids the warrenty if they wanna be idtios about it.
i bought my car in summer of 06, it was the 1st 2007 in nova scotia.
about 2 weeks later i put a cat back on it and lowered it and that stuff never void my warrenty till my control arm busshings went, but they blamed it on my subframe bar and i told them to grow up and think about it, and they covered them.
so i guess it depends on their mood.

 

are u kidding hahns intercooler is so worth the money look at the ppl who have it on they love it. u have to pay to play but basiclly ur looking into puttin in $4,000 and have around 310whp and a high to mid 12's car
plus if ur gonna get springs ur gonna want to buy koni struts

 

wow for real...so cat-back doesnt void warranty and neither does a bigger intercooler or piping...?? cuz if thats the case then those are def gettin added on to my list lol.

damn $4k? lol thats alot...what all adds up to the $4k? lol.

 

my dealer said that a cat-back can never void a warranty so no worries there (plus my dealers a d-bag) and u also dont have to worry about an intake or springs voiding ur warranty.
and from wat i have heard from others on here a intercooler and piping doesnt void ur warranty

Hahns Intercooler-799
Hahns Piping-499
Hahns Downpipe-461
Hahns Cat-back-599
Sportline Springs-200
Koni Struts-600 for front and rear
K&N drop in-50
Nice rims-1k
HID's-about 150

 

Welcome

 

Hahn's intercooler is definitely the best, no question about that. You can get WAY over 310whp for $4000. Talk to Baldturbofreak he's coming out with a turbo upgrade that will see well over 400hp. I doubt his kit is gonna cost over 4k.

 

o0o okay cool...i guess i might have a connection cuz my best friend works at chevy sooo..lol..but yeah man this kid who drives a ms3 only has an intake and he said it gave him a gain of 25+ whp and he claaaims that when i get the ss/tc hes gonna beat me...we jus keep **** talkin to each other but were good friends so its from the heart lol...but i told him i dont wanna argue no more bout the ms3 vs. the ss/tc.....for him to just wait till i get the car and break it in then we'll run it lol...what u think the outcome will be?? im a pretty good driver too lol....dont mean to toot my own horn or anything but ya kno lol.

 

Please say its a kit that comes with the intercooler for $4000

you can peice a turbo kit together for less then $4,000 and get better numbers.
i was at like 2,500 and then i got a clutch and a few other goodies that made me to where i am now with parts.
plus i have a intercooler that was $350 CND after taxes thats good to flow 800-1000 whp

 

man that would be awesome....but i wanna keep my warranty tho thats the thing...just mods that wont void it and make me faster lol...i heard GM is coming out wit a whole stage kit for the ss/tc that will be covered under warranty...true?.. llol

 

i have gold rims... trade cars? lol

 

I don't remember what all it includes, there's a thread in the LNF section. Dynoing tomorrow I believe and I'm taking my buddy (who's having the first kit put on his car) to pick the car up on Wednesday.

 

actually i'll trade you my rims for your stockers when you get the turbo ss

 

I believe they just change a few sensors which will help a lot, it's pretty much to allow you to boost higher from what I understand. I haven't followed that kit much though since I don't have a LNF.

 

sure!!! lol ur rims look awesome! those are what i was lookin at but w/out the chrome lip...just all gold...even tho urs look niccce! how much u pay for them??

now ur saying trade i think we might have a deal in all seriousness... lol...but is there anything wring wit ur rims? like scratches, dings etc?

oh cool so it would kinda be like an APR or revo stg.1 reflash for the GTI?...which gives it a 35-45hp gain..??

 

Also get the GM Stage 1 kit its a tune thats covered under warranty its like 600bucks
so u can prolly with all the mods i listed for u can get around 330whp

and to answer ur question about the ms3 i would say stock he will beat u but once u get any of the mods i listed for u, u can take him

 

but the ss and ms3 put down the same numbers and the ss is lighter so how would he be able to beat me?....oo u mean wit his intake on he will? and how much gain will the stg.1 kit give me u think?

 

Welcome, and your going to love the SS/TC.
