Hardcore Noob with 09 SS Sedan
Hey guys my name is Donny. I live in Mt. Airy, MD. Im real new to the Cobalt scene. I just picked up an 09 SS Sedan in Summit White. From what ive read its a pretty rare car (1 of 41?). I love the car so far. I literally just picked it up tonight. Is there any mandatory upgrades I should do first besides the shifter clamp? I also want to get an Arm Rest too. Ill be doing my research and using the search button ( This aint my first forum rodeo) but im still a cobalt noob so any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Here is a pic of it on the lot.

Wow congrats man, good find, I don't have a turbo ss so I can't really help you but I just wanted to say welcome 
I'm sure someone with an lnf will be more than glad to guide you in the right direction haha.

hey man ive got an 09 tc sedan in silver......definitely go downpipe, intake and tune first. that should get u around 300whp. full exhaust and charge pipe upgrades are good options after that. and the search button is quite worthless
google is your friend, so are the stickies
nice car i like a TC in white.
pretty sure there is a 09 TC Sedan Only facebook page too

just remember any mods are useless without a tune, unless you have GMS1. Stock is locked to 260/260. But like jbro said, intake/DP (catless is better, but at a cost) and tune. With that you will have a very fun little car. =)

Already done and I debadged it today too. Total sleeper status now! Im lovin this car so far. I suspect that there might be a tune on it also. I did multiple pulls today in various gears and everytime the boost built quickly to 20-22psi and stayed there. Any thoughts on that?
20-22PSI definitely tuned. Please take a picture with the hood open.
Also appears to be lowered on Pedder springs (check out the spring color, pic if possible)
Best mods:
K&N Typhoon Intake
ZZP Catless Downpipe
Crate Engine Depot 3 Bar Map Sensors
ZZP Intercooler
ZZP Hot/Cold side piping

forgot to add, car is super rare you got a gem! I really think these will be remember as a great sleeper once the public really realizes that the Ecotec LNF is the best 4Cyl turbo motor ever designed.

RandyO - Im liking your sedan in your sig. I sold some wagon wheels a few months back. Ive never really liked them on anything but they look pretty decent on your car.
I believe the springs are factory. Black with the little tags wrapped around them. I would like to lower just the back to get it sittin level until i can get coilovers.
The motor looks stone stock. I put the car on the lift last night and it has a resonator delete and a magnaflow muff. It might have the airbox mod done too. Im not sure though. It has a blue silicone coupler down where it attaches to the snorkel/air inlet thing. Thats why im guessing.
But here is a motor shot
