Has anyone tried to throw dual exhaust on their cobalt?! or found a kit for it?! I've taken it to numerous places to see if I can get custom bent dual exhaust and everyone has told me they couldnt do it, apparently theres some wires back there somewhere n they cant run a pipe there with the risk of melting the wires or something... but i've see pictures of cobalts with dual exhaust... help me out here.

i believe it's the brake lines that are in the way (i think i heard that somewhere) but i could be wrong. however, a dual exhaust on a 4 cyl is pointless, since there is only one bank. in a v application (v-6 or v-8) the engine has two banks with a dual header set up, so you would have an exhaust for each bank. it's completely unnecessary and costly to do on a 4 cyl. basiacally it would only be for looks, and you would also have to get a new rear bumper that has two holes cut in it instead of the stock one only having one cut in the left side. just get a single exit catback. all dual exhausts on 4 cyls are basically for looks.

yeah i understand that... the point for me to have dual was because i have never seen anyone with dual, and i realize i have a 4cyl n its just for looks... i just wanna be different u know? but i think i'm gonna end up just gettin the single cat back neways, i'm sick of all the trouble thanx.

ur damn avatar has dual exhaust on it!!!! ur teasin me now

exactly... just for looks. if you notice... my avatar also has no reverse lights and there's no recessed area in the bumper for a license plate. i added (or deleted) all those things using photoshop, and yes the dual exhaust is also photoshopped in. i actually forgot i even had that. :D

i agree with iso, its basicly pointless out side of look cause it wont do anything for the most part. It would be awsome to have it to say that u have it tho :D

thats exactly what i want... i know its not gonna be a difference between the single n dual exhaust i just want to have it to say i have it.. and its damn impossible to have it... but if its damn impossible to have dual exhaust n i get it, then it'll be sweet u know?

heres a pic off the rl forums

yeah but are the ions the same underneath?!

They are pretty close. I know the exhaust hangers are slightly different but they look pretty similar underneath.

Right on the money.

Love TheBossDog's Camaro, BTW.

WOW you gotta admit that looks good. but i would just run the right tip off the muffler, get a one in/two out muffler.

They run that set-up on alot of the Camaro's. Like mine....

I saw a duel exhaust cobalt ss the other day. It looked really cool! but he had aftermarket body kits for the exhaust. I agree it probebly doesnt help but it looks really cool.

yea i heard that stuff about the break lines being in the way, and joedashow thanks for the comp, it took awhile for me to get it like that

apparently the abs lines run right thru there... its a problem of melting the wires and shorting them out n having that exhaust there would void the warrantee so pretty much you'd be screwed.... thats what the exhaust guy said to me. but apparently this guy is also contacting GM about it and they're faxing him information about dual exhaust... so i'll let you all know whats goin on with that, for some reason i dont believe this exhaust guy is really doing nething.

RK Sport makes a body kit with dual cut-outs, and also the dual exhaust kit. but the exhuast system is for the 2.2 cobalts. looks very nice BTW, but sounds ricey

Not all duel exhausts are true duel, or even real for that matter. The Razzi body kit has duel exhaust oulets and i saw a 2.2 w/ what appeared was duel exhaust sitting on a dealer lot. However, when i got under and looked at the undercariage, the second exhaust tip was just welded to a bracket welded to the undercariage...lame :rolleyes:

I have thought of getting that and perhaps cutting it in half (if that makes sense at the time) and make a two into one header. the car would then have two headers, run straight pipe with High flow cats, a glass pack or resonator, magna flow muffler X2. custom heat shields for anything that is needed. I wonder what if may sound like. or if I could actually do it. would you run just one o2 sensor or can do you need to run 02 sensors in series? probably just one I would think would get er done.

I have heard guys running two different mufflers to get a unique exhaust tone with V-8's

i think it would sound like a crotch rocket....

mmm..... not enough rpms. if it did I would do it then for sure. I like the sound of the RX-8 being wound out. that sounds like a bike.

Yeah my sister got a RX-8 and damn that thing really just screams.....

Yeah but sometimes you gotta tell her to be quiet because the neighbors complain
LOL
just playin i couldn't help it :)

looks good..how's it perform/sound..?

There's no difference in performance then a regular single exit exhaust..
it sounds really nice to me, a nice deep tone inside and outside...
though i've only heard it once with me not being in the car...

it's a custom magnaflow exhaust

and thats what matters.
does it go in that gap between the rear suspension and the spare tire tub...? or does it go under the tub for the tire..?

Wow that looks pimp man!

well with sight of AnEmIc's Cobalt i think that it is very possible to have dual exhausts.

Here is a link that i found that shows a body kit that houses Dual Exhausts the only bad thing is that it's not for the SS models :(

post more pics of it!

Doesnt look like dual exhaust to me. I looks like a single exhaust with two mufflers. Not what we were discussing. Dual exhaust is two headers, two down pipes, two catalytics, two cat backs with mufflers. essentially two exhaust systems which is call "dual exhaust" not "dual mufflers" like pictured here. This is what I call a poser and can understand why there was no performance gains here.

Looks great though.

You know what would look great? I saw it on a Toyota Celica. A body kit with room for exhaust dead center of the rear ground effects. Big kick as exhaust port. you not see a tip or a muffler at all. just a big hole.

Dude, its a 4 cylinder, you can't have true duals on a I4 because its INLINE. Personally yes it is for looks, but dual exhaust is just for looks on 90% of the cars with them, you think a 350Z needs dual tips? What about a RX8? NO, neither one of them do, its just cosmetic, and it looks alot better. Who cares if it doesn't give any gains, as long as its attached to the exhaust is functional. Get over it.

that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. on a 4 cylinder that is the only way to have a dual exhaust. there's only one bank of cylinders cuz they all sit inline. like nocturn said, most dual systems are just for looks anyway, and personally his dual exits looks nice.

streetforce.ca has a exhaust I believe
