suggestions? ??

I have a 09 cobalt and am out of ideas. Well no so much out of them. But i dont know what I should do next. So far I have a CAI and a cat back exhaust. I want to stay away from forced induction. So don't know if I should put a header and down pipe on to have a full exhaust or work on the suspension to get some better handling ... suggestions needed!!!

you really dont have many other choices peformance wise other than breaking into the motor or boosting it. You could always do lighter pulleys I.E- lighter crank pulley etc.. But you wont feel much of a differance. Since your looking to stay away from boost, i suggest lowering your car and going for a good apperiance rather than trying to get any more hp out of a non boosted motor. This is my opinion.
Good luck! Also, i wouldnt do a header/dp becuase your car will sound like poo and the hp differance isnt worth the money IMO.

If your looking towards suspension, the Pedders/FE5 combo from CED will be a nice handling setup, add a powell street bar and you'll have a really nicely handling car. If you don't already, get some aftermarket wheels and tires as well, not only adds look but smaller sidewalls help the car handle better. Header and dp would be helpful as well, and that's really as far as you can go without tearing into the motor.
