doesnt look like it would take much to just connect the 2 pipes together and reassemble it ^_^ it "looks" OEM hehehheheheheh bet it would have a rich sound (leaving the cat intact) or even just trimming that curved piece out as to still have "some" muffler effect.... dunno, but it does look like a well thought out design!!!

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.
:bo w: It sure costs a lot of money but you are going to get more performance out of it if you replace the resonator as well as the muffler. I've got a magnaflow on mine, it sounds great (not too loud and not too ricey) and based on the "butt dyno" (seat of my pants) it feels like it added a quite bit of power. I also added a K&N Air intake and that adds power too!!! This is a good combo, and i'm thinking of adding a better throttle body, but not sure where to find one...

Just my 2 cents. replaced the rear muffler (resonator) with a smaller tube shaped reonator and replaced the front resonator with a turbo-pack. Sounds great. Not to loud in the back seat and very noticable outside.
