a good tune and getting rid of those cats will usually be the biggest improvements to your car. Intake and charge pipes help, as well as a bigger intercooler, but these cars really like being tuned. Also, you should look into the boosy bypass spring upgrade offered by dejon. Carlos and I know the same guy, and he can tune you for 200 flat. It breaks down into a 100 for the credits, and 100 for the tune and tweaking. Not sure what his numbers are, but that might change after saturday.

He lives in pasadena, but he has an onboard laptop so he can tune you anywhere as long as you can purchase the credits beforehand.

if you want power now No-Cat DP and a tune. Next i would go charge pipeing due to the stock ones being super cheap. Next would be a pick from, in any order, Intake, Biger IC, and cat-back. Then retune.

Totaly not the order I did it. But if I had it to do all over, other then the group buy i got into, this would be my order.

whats good with that dejon sri and charge piping. It looks good and affordable. Im just concerned about the warranty crap. The lame guy behind the counter at champion chevy said my warranty voids just by slappin on an aftermarket intake. lol. (not to sound scared or something)

thought you might find this interesting if warranty is your issue:

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...light=warranty

and fyi, warranty coverage is usually determined by the tech working on your car. They can't void warranty if the tech don't say anything....

My bro's evo x is blue. His name is Phil. I know he's been going up there the past few tuesdays and yea they did go to buffalo wild wings. I never actually met anyone up there, i pulled up and saw like 5 evos and 5 sti's and a hatchback si, then just turned around and went home cuz i didnt know where everyone were at. You go often?

champion chevy on 45 or hwy 6?? if its 45 go see marcus and tell him what you are going to do to your car and im sure he wont care. but as far as parts intake,exhaust with a cat and chargepipe wont void your warranty as long as that doesnt cause the problem.
