Need your Assistance!

Just purchased a 2008 HHR SS, I want to change the muffler to have a better sound, but I don't want it too loud, any suggestions? Also what is the best cleaner for the SS wheels. Pictures to come tonight on the site. Thanks in advance!

You might think about doing a catless downpipe with stock exhaust/muffler. It can be quite loud at WOT, but nice rumble/no drone at cruise. That's what I run...

Hey neighbor! Congrats. Nice to hear you have a SS to add to your stable. Not very many SS's in our area.

No suggestion on the muffler since I'm still running the stock one.

Yeah the SS wheels do get dirty easy.Lots of brake dust.

Cleaning the wheels. Be careful. The clearcoat can be stained or damaged if you use something too harsh. Me, I use a small cloth type wheel brush. I just use car wash soap on them. Cleans them fine.
Also best to keep a coat of wax on them. And,there is the small area between the spokes that is painted dark gray. Keeping them waxed up makes them a little easier to clean.
