Getting piping tomorrow but after doing a good 8 pulls total from getting mad at dumb drivers to just going to a street far away and having fun this happens. I think I might know where the mesh thing that was there fell off, i'll have to check tomorrow. What's the part called too? It's gona take me awhile to find on engine crate though.

I'm getting the rest the the approx 1ft 2 inch piping tomorrow. Now it's time for black stuff all over the bumper! :D

Nice, melted the lip on the bumper. Not gonna be a cheap repair there.

It probably melted easier because the damn stock tune is running lean as hell. It runs lean all the way until 5k and by them I shift at 6k so there's not much room for the exhaust gas to cool down. The part looked fine many days when I had gotten the muffler cut off, just until recent it completely melted because the rain stopped and it's been hot lately so the car has been running lean and the exhaust gases are really hot.

Why didn't you extend it and what not.... I did originally my only issue was I left the tip to close to the bumper so I had the ugly black stuff all over the place

Mr Mall Cop 07-26-2014 09:48 AM

Kind of common sense I would think

LNFTX 07-26-2014 10:16 AM

Quit shit talking the stock tune because of your stupidity. If it is running "lean as hell" its not because of the tune you got other other problems but we've established that already

StevoElSupremo 07-26-2014 11:46 AM

Thats why you run a pipe to the end dumb dumb...you're really not the brightest bulb are ya? yes hot air melts plastic durrrr

Isnt stock exhaust diameter 2.5"?

Xmetalhead2003X 07-26-2014 11:56 AM

I want to say 2 or 2 1/4". I know my Magnaflow was slightly larger than stock (2 1/4") on an l61. It's now at 2 1/2".

tuned08ss 07-26-2014 12:03 PM

I think its 2.5" on a lnf. Op ordered 2"

BPacak 07-26-2014 12:22 PM

:lol:

slapbetcommissioner 07-26-2014 01:10 PM

Stock exhaust on an Lnf is 2.5" with a 2.25 kink near the axle. Op should start replacing just before the twist beam with 2.5" for improvement...

And probably refrain from cutting without thinking in the future.

Lesson learned I hope :P

Gimpster 07-26-2014 01:20 PM

And this.... is why I shopped for the stockest Cobalt I could find.

x2

GreenySC2 07-26-2014 01:42 PM

It is 2.5 the tip is 3 though..... either way op is going to have some wiggle room and restriction.....

turbocharged717 07-26-2014 02:50 PM

yeah you should have at least something to put in it's place.

Doesn't matter. You had one and thought it was so fast. I am not the retard that cut off my muffler cause you are too cheap to buy an actual exhaust so you melted your bumper lol
