from what I've heard on other cobalts that have it installed, it sounds great. Like a mix between a boxer engine and an exotic. And if not, then I still have my hahn header I bought months ago. Always have a backup plan in place.

I got the hahn full exhaust setup originally. It costs about 1500 altogether but the quality and sound was out of this world. It's a 3" and loud but the sound is far from ricey. At idle it sounds normal, just much deeper, and outside of wide open throttle it is a little boomy but the tone is deep. The jbody header that I got was before I even bought the hahn exhaust but it took like 4 months for me to get it. The hahn is expensive but sounds great. Even the gm sport exhaust has a good sound to it and would be more beneficial unless you get crazy with power like me.

I dont think there is enough of us 2.2 owners but.... I talked to vince at trifecta today and he said that if i could get enough interest he would come out to the hampton roads area and do on site tuning at one of the track days. He wants a minimum of 10

scraping knee on busa = hardest thing ever & requires more experience than its worth. mine didn't want to turn... ever... but then again, mine was stretched so that might have had something to do with it

sure is, one of them tought me how to ride my bike. i never thought i would take turns faster then 30mph on my bike... till he tought me how to turn faster, i now take turns 65-85mph depending on how sharp it is. he got me gettting so low i actually had to get knee gaurds. i'll be going up to VIR sometime next year and taking their supersport bike course. $200 and they teach you how to race on a circuit track

you have to take the $200 race course before they let you on the track... but i think that may only apply to bikes but i dont know, never inquired about it for a car.

I would appreciate it if you could check it out. That would be a great event for us to get involved in. Even if we could get some of the other balts from in the state to join in on it.

i dont care who goes as long as there isnt no arguing about who is rice, who isnt, domestics are better or imports are better. I'm so sick of hearing that crap, the car scene needs to be like the bike scene... no one cares what you drive
