Hey everyone, just wanted to say hi. Name's Jeremy, I'm from NY, just got an '08 Cobalt SS, and I've always been into cars and making them fast, so naturally I came here searching for info So far I've learned quite a bit, and I'm liking what I've read, so thanks so far, and I hope you all have a great Christmas. Cheers!

 

welcome! Post pictures of your car when you can

 

Welcome and Merry Christmas!

 

Welcome to the forum.

Merry Christmas

 

Welcome to Cobalt land. Once you enter there's no escape.

 

My only camera is my phone, so hopefully it's not too awful...

 

Welcome. Nice car, take off that spoiler, or put a highrise.

 

welcome good sir!

 

Welcome, car looks good. Merry Christmas.

 

nice car man. welcome. mod list/future plans?

 

Welcome! Where in NY are you? I live in Buffalo but am in Albany for the holidays.


As far as mods go: catless downpipe, rotated trans mounts, rear sway bar and a HP tune and you will LOVE the car

 

Car looks good welcome, also just outside of Buffalo.

 

Looks good!

 

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm in Oswego, about 20 minutes north of Syracuse in case you've never heard of it. Car is stock right now, so I'm just making plans for what I wanna do with it now. From what I read, it looks like I have to start with a tuner, so I'm trying to decide which one to go with...HpTuners seems to be winning so far. Being in NY, I don't think I can pass inspection with the catless dp, and what exactly is the rotated trans mount for? Not sure if I'll be doing anything to change the looks any time soon, I always go with speed first

btw, you guys have some awesome looking rides!

 

HP Tuners is the way to go. I'd get at least an intake and catless downpipe before you get it tuned. You can always swap your stock downpipe back on for emissions. Rotated trans mounts will help you put the power to the ground (less wheel hop).

 

Ok, I was under the impression that I wouldn't see any gains from an intake or exhaust unless I got rid of the learn down via hptuners or whatever...sounds good though, intake first...do you have a recomendation for that too?

 

Get any catless DP if you know someone that does inspections (like I do) you can get away with it. As for the intake I'd say to get the K&N one.

 

You are correct, you won't see any gains until tuned. You want to get your parts on first and then go for the tune IMO. I recommend the K&N short ram intake.

 

Leave the spoiler alone or go wingless. Welcome. Black is the best color

 

Noooo he should get a high-rise.

 

welcome!!

 

I have a spare high rise....
