You'll get much better sound out of the supercharger but the CEL has been hit or miss. Some recieve and some don't....

spddmn- i had a cai on my sc it threw a cel but it went away after about a week on its own- my buddy put his cai on his sc the same day i did and his never threw one- i think a cai and ottp staging is the best thing you can do for the sc's they sound amazing- just dont do any kind of exhaust you will regret it- my buddy paid 1000 bux for a corsa and it sounds like a ******* civic with no muffler- so if anything do a muffler delete.

I like the sound of the GM touring, but I really want a Hahn setup from header to exhaust tip...

Well... I just so happened to see a nice silver Cobalt SS here in town for the first time ever. Had a set of aftermarket wheels and looked real good. Good to see another SS around here in town other than mine and my buddy's!

I wish mine was nice and warm like that but nooo... AND on top of me having to drive it in the winter, I've been pulled over twice in the past five days for window tint and got a $127 ticket out of it... Don't cops have better things to do?

Howdy, my parents still live in Iowa where I grew up (between Des Moines and Altoona). If the snow eases up for the Christmas weekend, I plan on driving up there for a visit (I live in Kansas now).

I have an extra SS/TC Dejon 3" downpipe (no cat, with cut-out) I'm willing to sell cheap ($120). I'll throw in a block off plate and also a short down turn pipe for when the cut-out is open. If you're interested, give me a PM. I'll get a photo taken soon.

Stay warm and happy holidays. I sure don't miss those Iowa winters.
