Jimmy, have you also checked the boots on the axle? Look for any rips, cuts, chunks missing from it. It is possible that it is a cv joint in the axle (either side of it on side where the noise is) or possibly a wheel bearing is starting to go.

Does it change pitch when you take a corner fast? Oh, like on Lake Rd just past Sealy heading south?

Jimmy may sound stupid but check to see if the lug nuts are all tight. If not that look at the bearing and tire components. Could be anything though. I agree with lifter get a passenger to listen or let them drive and u listen. Good luck!

Or a control arm bushing. The bushings on the LSJs are absolute junk. I just had to change mine out.

looks like im buyin me an aftermarket intake manifold

Jimmy03SS 09-06-2011 08:46 PM

guys,
just an update and a few things.... Lifter I remember your bro checked my control arm bushings and my joints and said they were good, no problems there. I also checked the lug nuts and they are secure. Like I was saying, the only time I hear the buzzing is when I am pressing the gas pedal when I am moving. Not while in park and also not while I have let off the gas and am coasting. All of this leads me to believe that it has something to do with air coming in through the airbox and filter, but Im still learning my way around an engine and am not smart enough to figure it out myself lol. Maybe I am retarded and its just the way its always sounded, but maybe somebody localy could take a ride with me and tell me what they think before I go and spend any money.....

i just got my 2.4 mani in the mail, lsj downpipe is being shipped out tomorrow along with my 2.4 throttle body, and my wideband will be here soon. fully bolted and tuned 2.2 here i come

drumrush 09-06-2011 08:55 PM

and jimmy, i have no idea. sorry man. maybe the airbox is rubbing on something causing the buzzing sound?

Lifter 09-09-2011 08:24 PM

New exhaust is officially on the Cobalt. Borla muffler ftw.

drumrush 09-09-2011 08:53 PM

I just bought new wheels off a neighbor, gunmetal 17's

cmiller8006 09-09-2011 09:18 PM

I am going to change up the exhaust on my car as well.

Thinking about doing that over the winter as well, really like the sound of the MPx exhaust. My Borla muffler sounds nice, but it just feels like a hacked setup with a wrong size muffler kinda hacked and welded in there. I like the quetness at idle and the cruising sound but not really how it sounds at WOT.

Lifter 09-10-2011 02:02 AM

I'm just worried about performance. 2.5 all the way back now with a Magnaflow cat and a borla muffler. Not a huge difference, but definitely noticeable.

Saddens me to think that I need to buy winter tires again soon =(

black67 09-10-2011 04:41 AM

Well, winter tires are going on sale!!!

Borla makes nice stuff, just expensive.

I got an over-the-axle pipe and a borla muffler for 180 shipped. That's pretty cheap.

mandrelexhaustsystems.com

And my bro' can put it on for you in like 10 minutes for dirt cheap.

alchemist1130 09-10-2011 05:27 PM

Were any of you guys in Kent last night??? A white cobalt with HIDs rolled by and was honking at my house.

TommyP 09-10-2011 11:23 PM

I like the ones on top better, they look much cleaner

AcesNEights 09-10-2011 11:25 PM

Ya the first set looks the best

drumrush 09-10-2011 11:32 PM

i just wouldnt be able to get shit for my current set, even though the tires have like 4k miles on em. id probably be able to snag 500 MAX, which wouldnt even cover the cost of tires on the 17's

Lifter 09-11-2011 10:02 AM

First set it better. Second set looks too gangster.

What tires were you thinking about getting?
