To be honest I have no idea of the cobalt has it

No, its completely bcm controlled unfortunately. The clicking comes from the left front speakers on 07+. On 05-06 its still bcm controlled but there is a chime speaker in the ipc that is commanded by the bcm. on 07+ the Bcm commands the noise from the radio over the data circuits.


Chime 05-06

Chime 07+

I always thought the "engine sound through speakers" was sort of gimmicky. I get there are people who enjoy that kind of thing without actually having a car thats loud.

Fake engine noises, fake exhaust, fake turbo sounds, fake wheel covers, fake hood scoops, all garbage IMO. How could you enjoy something knowing it isn't authentic? It's like mounting a front mount intercooler without even having a turbo.

It's more dependant on the spoke design. Mine are 18x9 +40 and only need a 5mm spacer.

I got the spacers in the other day but the stock studs stick out too far to mount them as they aren't the slip on design. Might have to cut off the nipple on the stock studs to get them to fit.

Had to put new thermostat a couple days ago the inner seal was all broken and letting coolant pass. car wouldn't heat up past 140-160 depending on the temp outside...

i thought i put CPS in correctly but must've been off a little it started right up first time then i drove off thinking i was good to go, but next time it long cranked and finally started, did that for a couple days.

Fixed this morning. Decided to roll the dice and put the crank marks lined up and reinstall CPS. Was 180 off so I just took off CPS and rotated crank around to marks again and lined up CPS out in. Seems fine now.

Yes, sorry for your loss. I'm not looking forward to that day myself as my mom has always loved me no matter what I've done, or screwed up. Hang in there.

Sorry about your loss hgt, Never a easy thing to deal with. Trying to come to terms with my dad wont be around much longer. Seems surreal.
On a lighter note, got my forge bpv and catted dp installed last night. Love the extra psssshtt and I wasn't expecting much change but the exhaust note is noticeably louder with more pops and gurgles. Liking it.

If I were to install a wideband sensor, would it be before the cat on the header or the downpipe?
