Cut it clean off and put a downturn in place of it. Loud as hell but still a little to tuner for me idk maybe Im shooting for the stars here with my lil 2.2 but anyone got any suggestions on what I should do or what you guys think of what I did. i also tore off the tube that goes from the air cleaner to the fender sounds better just want to here what you guys thing

 

OK, first suggestion...quit cutting things off your car!! Welcome to the site! look around, and be patient, there are so many people on here that will help with your questions. Come out to a get together soon! Todd (uma)

Check the South Pacific Region section here. We meet about once a month and would love to have you join us. We had a real nice time today. Cruised PCH from Huntington to Dana Point and had lunch. I think there were 15. Check the post for pics.

 

I love that sawzall lol yea id love to go with guys

 

its a 4-banger.....it needs a muffler

 

I agree with 08BlkSS - 4 cylinder engines, normally aspirated, turbocharged, or supercharged, do not produce pleasing exhaust notes without a muffler. Come to think of it - that goes for most internal combustion engines of any configuration.

 

Holy cow, isn't that like a $10,000 fine in california? lol

 

At this point sense you have already SAWZALLED off your muffler you could install a CGS axel back muffler or maybe a Vortex as "Curley" has done. You have some options. Provided of coarse you didn't cut to much off the exhaust pipe. Look around the 2.2 performance threads and maybe yall will get an idea.

 

I'm new to upgrading my HHR, I go a 07 2.2 and thinking about starting with a new muffler, but just plain cutting it off can't be that good. I wasn't sure bout if I should get a cat back or not, I really like flowmaster and heard the 60 series on others that I like, but don't want to have to do a lot of tuning just to add a new muffler, so I though that be a good place to start.
