I put a whole through the flex pipe of my stock downpipe, Reason being that I'm running a tune that shouldn't have a cat, so when the cat plugged up, the exhaust found another way out....lol

suppose ill chime in. Tranmission is locked in 2nd gear and my transaxle on the driver side is broke. GM denies me warranty work so i just put a complaint in with the BBB and emailed the local news channel to see if they can do a special investigation. ill post progress because GM SUCKS! i knew i shouldve bought a srt-4 or a WRX.

justy an update..... three cobalts broke down last night.... so I"ll be busy today...
THe yellow one pictures above blew out the dipstick and started running like ****...
another yellow one blew out the dipstick and hopefully just went into limp mode
and a red one hitting 4th just went bang and limped it home
I hope it was due to the fact it was the coldest night yet (44 deg) and the cars just weren't adjusted for it.;... 2 of them were heavily modded and tuned... one just got a 3": pulley and 2.5 xtc dp with cat.
and my car is back by the way

damn these cars really suck it seems so many problems, and not anyone really good for fixing the warranties on these cars, and i dont see why they cant warranty the tranny, we pay a pretty penny for these cars and they dont seem like they are built for any abuse at all

oooh oooh ooh.....I got something for you.





I was driving around on I15 and all of a sudden the car starts bucking. Boost still at 16psi but slow as hell!!. Couldn't get over 6500 rpm. As long as I don't go over 4k rpm I was fine. WOT is when it started to suck.

The one's INTENSE gives you with a stage 4 (autilite 3922). They were gapped to .035 but, now all there is....is a gap.


NOTE: If anyone gets INTENSE's packages.....RICHEN IT UP!! (was 14.699)

yeah... thats not your actual afr.... stock is 14.9 or something like that... you gotta use a wideband to see what your actual afr is.... mine is set to 14.6999 but I actually see (with meth) 11.8 on my wideband
