I'm new the cobalt scene I haven't done much to my car other than tint and debadging( which the car came like), I'm looking into doing some mods just haven't figured out where to really start , figured why not start by asking for a little advice?

Welcome to Cobalt land once you enter there is no chance for escape.

 

It's a 2008 ss/tc (I think that's the right lingo) , i can upload some pictures when I get out of class.

 

Welcome!

and yes, that is the correct lingo. Thank you for saying SS/TC, and not just TC.

I don't know when that started, but I can't stand when I see just TC. Makes it look like you are talking about the Scion Tc, .

Browse around the site. There is lots to be learned on here.

 

Yeah I've been browsing for awhile just recently decided to make an account, because I had a few questions and I figured you guys had answers.

 

velkommen...

 

Start with some bolt-ons. Catless downpipe and an intake.

 

Yeah that's what my plan is I was just making sure in going in the right direction. Any dp's or intakes you recommend I want it to be loud but not ricey loud lol

 

Catless downpipes are all basically the same. I have ZZPs. I recommend the K&N short ram intake. I have it as well and love it. Do a muffler delete and I can guarantee you'll never want to listen to the radio again. It'll be decently loud and not ricey at all.

 

What about trifecta vs hp tune is it mainly just personal preference ?

 

is Toad a real name? that's awesome if it is, i like that ****.

hptune is recommended over trifecta, but a lot of people use trifecta, i just don't think they are as active recently.

 

i use trifecta (except im SC) and have had no issues with it...unsure about how it trends with the TC crowd...

 

Haha no my real name is Dillon , and thanks another newb question ? How hard is it to install the zzp catless dp, do I need to wait until I'm home to use the car lift or can I do it in the parking lot at my apartment?

 

you can do it in your parking lot make sure you have new gaskets of course, jacker up nice and high.

trifecta tunes are used more with TC folks than SC folks

 

Welcome!
Get some pictures up for us

Is that what ill need and get the front and rear gaskets? What else will I need?

 

I'm going to be getting a hp tune. You could do the downpipe in a parking lot, lift is easier of course. My car only had like 25k miles on it when I put mine on so I didn't replace the gaskets. I also picked the option wih the bung for the 02 sensor.
