Sorry Dave wives are not required to understand, dont give up maybe it'll grow on her.

 

Sometimes, it's the other way around. My boyfriend was floored when I told him I was taking my HHR to have a new muffler put on it. He said..."that's a brand new car with a brand new muffler" I then politely reminded him that it was my car and when it was all done, he would understand why I did it. Drove up to his house...he liked the sound and when I let him drive it...he couldn't believe the difference. He now brags to his friends how his girlfriend put this cool muffler on her new car and it made a world of difference.

 

You're right Deb, "significant others" are not required to understand.

 

Thank God mine does understand

 

Getting mine put on Tomorrow (Sat 7-22). I already have the CGS intake and hope this ads a little my little 2.2.

 

Already have the IMCO...CGS arrived this afternoon and will be installed this weekend. Can hardy wait to get it done. Boyfriend now understands my obsession and is looking forward to helping me do the install. Will report back once it's on and taken for a ride. Should definitely give my 2.2L a big boost.

 

Got rid of the turtle this morning. I am now the proud driver of a CGS intake and the T924 muffler. First impression is pretty good. I have only driven it from the muffler shop to home, about 7 miles. Got in to it as hard as I could, seems to have a little more torque steer and a little more pull in the low end, which is good. I am still unsure on the sound. I like it, but I don't want to run around sounding like I am in my mid life crisis (38 yrs old here. I did test drive the 06 arrest me red SS Cobalt 5 speed for a few laps though before buying the HHR though). The sound is by no means a fart can, just louder and deeper than stock. I think a lot of it is from the intake, the 924 just deepens it. I had the intake on for about 1 week prior to the muffler, and it had allready changed the tone, seems like the muffler just made it deeper and little louder, not much though. For now

 

after about 3 to 4 weeks and some miles
the sound will get quieter cause it will have some carbon on it

its only louder then when you really put your foot in it

enjoy

 

Looks like we are quickly developing a standard for intake/exhuast mods. CGS and 924. I agree with CJ the sound mellows after a few weeks, but was never ricer to begin with. I really like this mod.

So who else has both?

 

Had a little longer trip and I really like it. It seems to have a little more on the low end. I only have the 2.2. Coming from a 220hp Impala, it needs a little more oomph. The more I drove and listen, the more I liked it. I am definatly happy with it. To those who tested this combo,
