If you do a muffler I recommend getting the 2.5" over the axle pipe. I think OTTP sells them.

you can do that or just find a cheap used catback on ss.net.

My catback ran 400 shipped and its stainless but its probably more than you want to spend and its probably louder than youd like (SLP).

Isn't the stock size 2 1/4? cause the inlet for the new muffler was 2.5

where did you get yours welded on at?
mine should be here friday. but shouldnt i wait to get it on until after i have the car lowered?
not sure if it would effect the position when i lower the car.

i guess it depends on how low you go... but i got mine put on at Brandt Muffler in Highland, IL.... he welded the muffler on and put in my primary O2 sensor that was seized in.... for only $40...

He is right next to the Taco bell/KFC out there.... always extremely low $$

Stock size is 2.5" to my knowledge but its crimped down in 2 places. Over the axle and in the factory downpipe. I think TTR sells a cti over axle pipe for 90 bux to eliminate that issue. Its honestly not a huge deal though unless your truly going for performance.

I think you should be fine. your not actually changing any of the piping just the muffler. Plenty of cobalts on sportlines and such that have the stock catback still. btw our catbacks are the same as the supercharged cobalts.

why dont they advertise the catbacks for 2.0 and 2.4 then?? i always thought the expensive ones or the pacesetter ones are what would have fit lol.
I'll probably get the muffler on afteri lower it.
