Had Magnaflow 3" exhaust and ZZP 3" DP installed yesterday..It sounds awesome.

Thanks

I got the DP with the 200 cell cat, I haven't had it on the dyno yet but there was a definite difference from the first ride

Installing ZZP CAI this week and getting tuned updated

Lowboy44 did you do the HPtune yourself or start with a file from someone? I am curious as I recently purchased VCM to tweak my other GM rides and will do the same for the HHR now.

My buddy has a shop that does mostly Hondas but bought the HP set up to tune mine. I had another member send me a could tune,havent loaded it yet. The one thing that was different for my guy was he never tuned an auto and it seems a lot of changes are made to the tranny in the tune

I wanted to make these upgrades before changing tune..installing CAI this weekend then getting updated tune

few on here are, try 2005hhrauto, think that is his sig, think he is running HP suite
and robssturbo, he knows a good tuner
f4tal is another who just got tuned last month on HP

I have it but have yet to tune, waiting to gut my stock DP and motor mount
i also highly recommend checking out the cobalt sight, a lot of hp tuned guys on there that may be of help
