How much should I expect?
How much should I expect?
Right now I have a stock 05 cobalt not the SS version.
How much HP and Torque should I expect if I get these:
1.Cobalt / G5 Cat-Back Exhaust System Touring 17802110

2. Cobalt Exhaust Tip Angle Cut 17802112

3. Ecotec HO Intake Manifold Kit 2.2MMGF

4. Stainless downpipe with cat + 2.5in. bolt in and front and rear gaskets

5. ZZP Stainless Ecotec shorty header

6. K&N Typhoon Cold Air Intake Chevy Cobalt 2.2 2005-09

7. A Trifecta Tune
Questions I have. To make sure all of these are compatible with my car right?
What exactly does a trifecta tune do?

The straight cut?

What tip should I get then, because you need to get a tip right?

Of course you need a tip for the exhaust to look right. It doesn't matter whether or not you get the straight cut or the angle cut.....they are the exact same thing basically.
All i'm saying is that if your asking about "how much power" you'll have after the listed parts......there was no need to throw the tip on that list. I mean yes, def get it if your getting the GMPP cat-back. But no need to list it with those other parts when asking about hp figures, as a tip is just an appearance bit, not a performance mod.
Understand what i'm saying?

The first time I read it kinda sounded like if you want to get horsepower from tips get a dif one lol.
I was just kinda listing everything im getting so yeah.
mmm i love how ur new and did all that research then he busts ur ass for putting a tip on the list...some ppl love to wreck days...hahah NICE JOB on the research! oyu have some reallly good stuff there...as for HP...im saying aroung 160 ish but i think that may be high

Theres a difference between trying to be friendly and explaining something to someone rather than just coming on here and being like "your stupid".
Exhaust - about 5 hp
Tip - haha
Manifold - about 10 actually with slight loss of torque (but better curve)
DP - about 2-3
Header - about 5
Intake - 6
Tune - about 10
sooo anywhere from about 30-45 hp imo.
you should be around 160-175 to the wheels

the way warranties are SUPPOSED to work is, they cant deny you warrenty work unless they can prove that the part you put on caused the problem. so if you wanted to. you could keep the stock parts and if you run into a problem you could swap the stockers back on and take it in.
I know have a question on this.
For the downpipe.

"The downpipes we sell come with a Magnaflow high performance converter. It is OBD2 compliant but it is on the very edge of being so. The PO 420 code is set when the rear bank O2 sensor PCM thinks that the converter is not doing a good enough job. Because the stock cat is so thick and dense, it can still function when the tune is off or it gets old. The Magnaflow isn’t like that. An error in tuning, running too rich, having too cold of a Tstat, too cold of plugs, or an old primary O2 sensor can all affect the engine enough to set a code when using the Magnaflow cat. This code DOES NOT affect the way the car runs, it just sets an SES light. To fix it, you’ll need that code removed from the PCM, or you can run our O2 emulator(not available for ALL vehicles), or you can clear the code and try to tune the car in better to allow the cat to operate more efficiently. This is a situation in which your cars stock sensor was not designed with your performance goals in mind. Please make your purchase with the understanding that over time, an SES light could be thrown due to the reasons stated above. This is not grounds for a warranty claim, as a repair or replace of the cat/downpipe would not permanently fix the code"
Does this affect me at all?

yes it will. as they stated, you will need to have the code turned off through hpt tuner, or get the 02 emulator, or just ignore it. it will not change how the car runs at all.
The stickers on my rear windshield give me ~37.29hp so I'd reccomend those as well..
