Hi everyone , from cool but sunny Chicago.
Just checked out the photos of the Florida sandwich. Noticed one thing , and it pretty much applies to every HHR picture (rear view) I`ve seen,...
The muffler needs to be painted BLACK. This caught my eye when I took some snapshots.Krylon makes a BBQ & STOVE black ..one can will probably last the life of your Cruck , (made that word up). Also theres something silverish in the lower grill that needs a blast .
Be careful not to spray your Chrome tip though!!:thumb:

Did you do this? And pics?

Hmm good idea, i will do it this week. I got that paint already

Here's an even better idea: ditch the stock "aluminum turtle" -

and install an IMCO T-924 turbo muffler:

Not only is it virtually hidden from a normal rear view, but it gives the apperance that says to other HHR owners "I'm not stock." You will also gain a slight power increase and even improve your gas mileage a bit (if you drive sensibly). We've tested several repacement mufflers and this model IMCO compliments the HHR quite well.

They can be found HERE (https://www.fulllineexhaust.com/cgi-bin/shopper.exe?preadd=action&key=IMCT-924) very reasonably.

Hope it helps,

Though, I've heard CJ Krause's Imco muffler, and it does sound pretty good!

Painted my V-force muffler black.
