Its here!

First mod just arrived - Magnaflow Cat-Back Exhaust!

Next up - CAI any recommendations?
K&N?
AirRaid?
CGS seems to be most common, but any input is much appreciated

Stock, unless you really want something different. CGS looks the "best", but is designed poorly in my opinion. The others options looks worse than the stock intake. GMPP is another option that looks decent, but it's the most expensive.

How about a video of that exhaust when you get it on. I still haven't seen a good one of the magnaflow catback.

Yeah, thats what ive read, its kinda strange that they would bother making the intakes if they dont do anything to the performance of the car, but hey the numbers dont lie.

As for vids, Im waiting til i have a few more things to apply before I go to work on it, but I will post vids when I have it one for sure BUT if you go to youtube and type in "hhr magnaflow" or variations thereof, you will get about 3 vids that you can hear it from inside and out.

Those vids are from me and are with a CGS on as well, since adding the GMPP intake system, the tone of the exhaust and engine in general has gone deeper. Just FYI.
