I'm working with a stock LSJ, I've been on the site for awhile, but all of my accesses got removed (posting/replying, all that) so i created a new one and figured it was time to get involved.

I'm pretty much stock, aside from minor visual pieces.
Looking forward to kicking some ass with it in time.

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

Definitely no escape. I'm running stock (airbox mod) but I'll be throwing the ZZP stage 2 or 3 on in the next few months. I know I'll get sucked into more, but that's the start. I have a question about our exhaust though. 2.5" and 3" are what i hear from most people to go with, I'm not going all out enough to need a 3", but is the standard piping for ours sufficient if I was to throw on a hi-flow cat and less restrictive muffler?

I've done my fair share of research on the site, I've followed most of your names around forums for awhile, so I recognize you, thanks for hittin me up.

Pictures will go up soon. work monitors some things more than others so uploading has to wait for now.

Yeah the 2.5 will be fine for a stage 2 or 3

just get a down pipe with your choice of high flow cat/no cat and a header and youll be good to go

Gah, this is gonna become a damn money pit reaaallly fast, but worth it. It's all about having a badass car, even better when it's not such a common one like ours.

I love the look, especially with the orange. i started with 2 coats, then 3 coats clear coat. put them on to check how dark it came out, then threw another 2 coats on later on. as long as you clean them before redoing them it works fine.
