I like the red..... for some reason...

Your exhaust system intrigues me. How does it sound?

I could take a short video of it if you want. Basically it is quiet until I open it up.,it can be loud if it wants too.

If you've got the time, I'm very curious to hear it.

Well. some of you wanted to hear what my exhaust sounds like. What I have is a combo of a Cosmo Racing CAI which you can hear in the video as the hissing sound as well as a GMPerformance Parts Chev Cobalt SS Race Style muffler on a custom axle back as well as a Mini Cooper S exhaust tip. Below is a link to the video. Let me know what you think.

Clicky on da Picture... I'll get one soon of me driving so you can here that as well.

i love the exhaust it is perfect sounding how much money was it?

To be honnest.. for me it did not cost me very much to do the exhaust. The muffler came off my old Cobalt SS S/C which I bought when I bought the balt in 07. When that car got wrecked. I stole the muffler and kept it. So really. In total it cost me about $100 cash deal for a local muffler shop to install it onto my car. Pretty simple.

And the Mini Cooper S chrome tip there, I have a pile of those tips laying around. My best friend works at a BMW dealership and apperently there is a recall out on those tips because they apperently stick out too far from the bumper and they replace them with shorter ones. So my buddy does the job and saves the tips. I got a bunch, he does too. haha.

It sounds wicked! And not just in the sense that is sounds really good. More in the sense that it literally sounds evil and angry.

Ha ha. That's awesome. I have never been told it sounds like that. Thanks.
