anyone done a mufflerless setup on a 2.2? i dont mean just hacking it off. im thinking of straight pipe, and a larger magnaflow resonator in place of the stock resonator, i want something different than everyone else and refuse to pay more than $300 or so for an exhaust its just dumb, ive always had good custom exhausts, pieced together $80 for a decent muffler $60 for resonator and then $150-200 for pipes if needed. These overly priced GMPP's are WHACK! that sound could easily be recreated for 1/3 the cost.

check out mandrelbentexhaust systems.. they have some pretty good stuff reasonable priced imo. if i ever bought a new catback it would b from them
5,000whp!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol jk I dunno I never dyno'd mine.Maybe some of the other guys will chime in on that.I know when I was N/A I felt a pretty big acceleration difference with just a catback with 2.25 inch piping
the 2.2 dp in comarison to the LSJ dp, which was a big enough upgrade for me given the really cheap price (a zzp one would be better flowing yet, but it cost like 4 times more so eff that

then here is the 2.5" tsudo in comparison to the 2.2 dp you can see.. kinda hard to notice but you get the idea in size difference sortof
id order tsudo right now if it didnt fit so crappy, im pretty low and would definetly scrape. plus im going lower in the summer.
and it sucks because i have an auto trans so i cant use and of the SS exhaust parts correct? downpipe is longer making the catback fit different?

you cant really just free up one chunk of the exhaust and expect a huge gain. i noticed the most once i free'd everything up
solution:
05-10 CHEVY COBALT EXHAUST - BOLT ON - (304 STAINLESS - 2.5 IN)
