looking for more power in the cobalt.. 08 ls 2.2 i already put a magnaflow muffler and drop in high flow filter dont know what my options are thanks russ
08....thats the L61 motor, more power means a tune but thats the last thing in the line so here's the list I advise (and followed with my L61):
AEM Intake (or whatever cold air intake you perfer)
2.4 LE5 intake manifold
2.0 LSJ exhaust manifold
2.0 LSJ downpipe
Full mandrel bent exhaust, I went with 2.25 with a resonator to keep the bees away
then a tune from Vince at Trifecta.
That's my mod list when I had my 06 L61, think you have SRI which you will need to get tuned out if you are going to use the LSJ exhaust mani and anything but the K&N intake.
If you really want more power you're going to need to either go forced induction with a supercharger or turbocharger, or you can drop a set of cams in it. Sadly as amazing as cams sound and perform you are going to lose daily driveability with cams above Stg2
Supercharging at this point in time is cheap as heck too, just gotta find the right person that's selling their M62.
You don't think 2.75 is too large? I liked what I had because it wasn't raspy, larger tubing is going to get rasp.
