I wanna steer away from having my car (future) sounding like a A. Honda B. Swarm of bees C. Lawn Mower

now I know this is not a small block chevy motor we're dealing with, its a dual over head cam etc... But theres gotta be a way to make these cars sound good without making them sound like typical rice.

Is there a website with sound clips of various exhaust systems for these cobalt cars?

If you have a vid of your car please post with the brand etc of your exhaust

 

they won't sound like a honda because it doesn't rev to 9,000 rpms... most of them sound pretty similar.. there's an exhaust sound clip thread, try using the search button you should find it no prob.

 

oh geez...

this aint looking good. so far Ive found one I like half decently.

damn my 5.7L LS1

 

yea, nothing's going to come close to your ls1 as far as sound... haha... this is a little 4 banger, not a v8.

 

well here is the GMPP Sport cat back just to give you an idea of the exhaust tone


GMPP sport cat back

 

Yeah, Im seriously thinking that if I buy one of these cars to keeping the stock muffler to keep it quiet. Ill just go "sleepy" and maybe go bigger on the piping etc...

my ears are use to 400hp 5.7L motors etc...

and that blue Cobalt in the link you posted.... is that yours?

anyone have a sound clip of a stock muffler and 2.5 inch pipe on the SC cobalt?

 

majority of the stock pipe is 2.5 or 2.75 untill the axle where it gets slightly smaller... a 2.5 in pipe would eliminate that small restriction and probably wouldn't sound a whole lot different that stock... slightly louder i would say

 

ok...

what about going 3inches all the way back to the stock muffler? gotta sound clip of that? anyone here running that?

 

i don't know of anyone that really changed the stock piping and left the stock muffler... i can't remember anyone ever posting that.. 3" will be too large though at this point, especially if you're keeping the stock muffler... i wouldn't go over 2.5' unless you're planning some crazy ass mods...

 

Im thinking stage II with 3 inch pipe into a stock muffler


would it fit and would that work?

 

I say if you want a good sounding exhaust get the GMPP sport catback.

 

think the 3inch would make you loose power without other mods being done

 

no stage II would be done... then the 3in added

 

I agree with GMPP, but I would say the touring model as it is a little deeper, and more along the lines of what the OP is used to, IMO.

 

I want something not very noticeable

 

Then I would recommend either GMPP Touring, or Corsa Touring systems.
Corsa is a lot of $$$ though...

 

This is is supposed to be the best soundin one

thank you (rep coming)

Corsa is VERY expensive. I know this from my last project..


Ok I Checked it out but no sound clip?

rep to anyone that can post a actual sound clip of ARK exhaust on a cobalt

 

Yeah thats mine. I really wouldnt do a 3inch exhaust cause it actually hurts your performance by losing too much backpressure

Theres four I dont really care bout rep but will i get more green bars wit more rep?

Now theres another exhaust comin out, the DT-S. Its supposed to be quieter, but accordin to the video clips, its louder than the N2. And for the N2, the meter is restin right on the exhaust, but for the DT-S, its restin on the middle of the bumper. Btw, the N2 is circle shaped right b4 the tip, but the DT-S is oval shaped. That has to do wit sound, right?

 

3" would fit... the issue is that it's still not enough power to benefit from a 3", and by keeping the stock muffler that will pretty much restrict any gains you would have got by going with a bigger piping.

 

What?? Yours doesn't rev to 9000rpm I shift there all the time. j/k.

I have the GMPP touring nice deep tone very quiet in the car can still hear the sc whine.
little louder with the window rolled down.I would deffinatly recommend this system.
