What are some good aftermarket parts for my 2006 Chevy Cobalt LT? I have put on a cold air intake and am going to get a borla exhaust system but what are some other ideas? Also do they make a throttle body spacer for my car?


I own a 1996 BMW 328i. It's auto with 85,500 original miles. Stock except for the wheels, tinted windows, and head unit. Someone is interested in trading me a 1998 Firebird formula 6 speed ls1 with 138k miles but 40k on a rebuilt motor. It has some mods which are Ram air, Ls6 cam, long tube headers, true dual rumbler exhaust system, spec stage 4 clutch, spec aluminum flywheel, 4:11 rear end, and 5.0 short shifter. I've always wanted a t/a and this seems to be a good deal to me. I've had the bmw for 2 months and i love it but the firebird is my favorite car and Ive always wanted one. The guy is looking for a 4 door car because he has kids now and needs more of a family car. My biggest issue is the fact that it's just about winter now here in new england but i don't think either car will be good in the winter weather. I'm just looking for some input and advice on whether or not I should pursue the trade or just say no.


I just bought a used 1999 4Runner Limited with a 183 HP 3.4L V6, i love the car but it has no "umph" needs about 50 more horses for its weight. I do not have $1,000's to spend on turbo/supercharging the engine. I know there are 100's of products out there from gimmick gas additives to air filters. So whats the best way to get the most HP hopefully without extensive rebuilding of the car, (hope for bolt on's). Would a new exhaust like (flowmaster) or something? and a cold ram air system be a good start? Thanks!


Im losing Water from cooling System in my BMW 318SE.. normal driving I need to top up daily ( 1 litre daily), but while not in use there is no leak.
I therefore conclude that the leak occurs while the car is in use. I have checked the exhaust emission, and fine everything is normal, no water or steam visible. I would appreciate any advice Thank you..





A car has a flat tire. this car is equipped with a "balloon" jack for changing tires. It is placed under the car frame and inflated with gas from the car's exhaust pipe. As the balloon inflated, the car is elevated and the tire can be changed. the pressure against the balloon is 0.98 atm and the volume is 15.5 L just before the car is elevated. the volume of the balloon increases to 26.2 L when the car is elevated. the heat from the exhaust fumes is measured at 25.7 J of energy.

What is the system?
What is the surrounding?
Which direction is the heat flow?
What material thing did the work in this problem?
Calculate the change in energy for this "balloon" jack.


How big is the space behind the seats... is there enough room to put 2 10' tube subs and an amp behind them?
I want to get a black one for my next car and i want to put green neons underneath and in the vents and also a new exhaust system that is 98Db :P!
Yes its only a 2 seater!! but i meant behind the seats like the subs you get for trucks in the clio v6 you get a little space between the seats and the engine to store things i was wondering how big that space was too see what kind of subs to put behind them 6 inch, 8 inch or 10'


I bought an alfa romeo 147 lusso 1.9 jtd on saturday and within an hour or so of driving i had the message "motor control system failure" came up and my service light came on. I looked this up and apparently this could either be a fault with the ecu or a fault with the exhaust and lambda sensors whatever they are. Everytime i started engine after that i had a beep and the message reappeared.I washed it thoroughly and when i started my car again at some point the service light went off and all was well again. Does this mean the problem is resolved or what? i was under the impression that once the service light comes on it can only be reset by a garage??? Any help/advice would be appreciated.....
thanks for all the advice, think ill wait and see if it happens again.


I have an '05 WRX and am about to install a header back catless exhaust and accessport. I actually have a few questions. I have heard to keep the stock intake with a perrin turbo inlet hose and foam filter as the cai systems aren't worth the money and only a select few won't affect the a/f ratio. Also, going catless... will that make my exhaust super loud compared to running cats? Currently i have a 3" SR*S catback system and the sound is perfect, no droning and I'm worried that removing those cats will turn my car into a nightmare. Tuning my car with the accessport... will i reach full potential with stock injectors or will I need to get some pinks? Lastly, ok i know this is super long, when it comes time to do emissions will I have to throw my cats back on or will i pass simply by running my tank down and adding some ethanol? If you can't answer all, just answer what you HONESTLY know and don't BS the rest. Thanks so much for the helpful feedback.
Just to clarify i am not looking to change out the headers, just everything after...


my car just heats up too much when it just sits at idle but cool down when running
and the cooling system builds up too much pressure coolant shoot out of the reservoir
no unusual engine sound
no exhaust smell on the coolant
no coolant on the exhaust
just change the water pump, thermostat, serpentine belt and the fan clutch engages properly


So basically I'm trying to buy a car and I want to know people's inputs and see if it's actually worth it, I looked on KBB/Edmunds it was like $4000-$5000. Guy is selling it for $4.5k, giving a 3 month warranty on everything in it but I'm gonna try and negotiate it down to like $4k

I test drove it yesterday and it felt pretty nice, brakes are good, AC/heater system is amazing, trunks been emptied out completely, overall a very clean car. It's not the fastest car in the world or remotely anywhere close to the '99 civic ex I was planning to buy previously(sucks the civic won't pass emissions test)

Here's the info I got from the person:

2002 Mitsubishi Lancer($4500)- about 100,000 miles
yellow, manual shifting (5-speed) (4 doors)
CD player only
AC system with cooler intake (not stock)
new sports shifting stick(short shift)
16 Valve
new headlights
new 16inch O.Z. rims
Greddy rally full exhaust (the whole exhaust system swap)
tinted automatic windows
4 brand new tires


-been in one accident I think, front bumper was damaged, no damage to the engine, radiator. it has been fixed though

-------I'm still planning to get it checked out from a shop but let me know the pros/cons, if it's worth getting, etc


Kids are putting those stupid exhaust systems on their cars to make them sound like race cars, then on top of that, they put million watt plus stereos in them for even more NOISE POLLUTION. Is anybody else sick of this? I am tired of these kids going by my house at 3 a.m. waking me up with widows rattling, then they take off at full throttle all the time, which is annoying and loud. Do they not realize that their hearing is in jeopardy? Don't they have any respect for their sleeping community?


I hit a deer about 2 weeks ago. The radiator is dead, and my power steering is gone. Who should I sell it to and for how much. It has a lot of new parts, but really isnt driveable because of the bent in front end. I am looking to get about 500 for it, and was wondering if that was a reasonable amount to ask for??? The engine is good, and it recently got a new starter, brakes, and exhaust system. Thanks a lot...
Where do I take it to? if I were to do a google search of places to sell it to, what would i type???
At the time it didnt make sense for me to get collision, because I paid 1800 for the car, and would have been paying that amount every 2 years or so for it..


and moreover it is good to sneeze when u feel like sneezing.
and even i have noticed that its not a good thing when somebody belch/burp or when they fart.
whereas it is also a natural process and helps release the gas from your digestive system.
And stopping it not to release means that as if u r blocking the exhaust gasses out of the car which may or will effect the working of the car.


Hello, i have an 04 mustang gt that i would like to put some bbk shorty headers on the car i have bbk O/R x-pipe and a flowmaster 40 series catback system and was wondering if the headers make the car sound any different. Thanks


Hello,
I own a 1996 maxima with about 132000+ miles. When accelerating from 0 to 40 it feels like the car is under power unless I really floor the accelerator. Once the car crosses gear 1 and 2 the power seems to kick in.
What could be the problem ?.

Condition of car:
1. No check engine light
2. O2 sensors replaced two years ago
3. air filter is clean
4. oil changed on regular basis (regular oil not super or high mileage)
5. About 3 years ago has two piston rings replaced and two sparks plugs changed for the related piston ring cylinder. The car felt under powered before the replacement.
6. I fill it up with regular unleaded gas
7. New tires with correct pressure
8. No visible oil leak on the engine, the gasket is good, hoses are fine
9. The car does not hesistate at any speed or rpm
10. Typically I dont hard accelerate unless i really need to cut lanes, typical city driving (stop and go)
12. At the speed of 80 or higher the car tends to vibrate, i can feel it in the steering wheel (I suspect suspension issue since the engine is flowing smooth)
13. The exhaust system is nearing end of live and I can hear funny sounds from under the engine indicating some leaks in the piping.

I have not taken to any mechanic wanted to ask on yahoo to get some theories and feedback so when I do take it to the mechanic they don't sucker me into a big bill.

Thanks
Regards
Ashutosh


My CITROEN C4 GRAND PICASSO EXCLUSIVE has a filter in the exhaust that stops all the black smoke coming out of the back like an ordinary diesel would do.
The engine management light has come on and it tells me that there is a fault with the depollution system. We took the car to citroen and they said it was an electrical fault. We got it fixed and 1 day later the light came back on saying the same thing.
Is it anything to do with the exhaust where the depollution filter is may be?
Or is it somthing else?


I know that they have the same engine codes just a few internal variations. I am in need of a new exhaust for my town car. I also know that the crown victoria is built on the same chassis but i cant find good exhaust systems for it. I was wondering if the Mustang exhaust would work.


I have a 2002 cavalier LS sport, and i have a cold air intake on it. But i don't want to put an exhaust system on it because its like 700 bucks and i don't have the kinda money right now. What are some cheap things i can do to make it gain more hp and go faster?


when you turn the key to start your car, the automobile engine does not turn over nor does anything else happen.

which of the following procedures would be the first ation to take in determining the cause of the problem?

1 change the engine oil for better lubrication
2 add more gasoline for a longer running engine
3 turn on the lights to check the electrical flow from the battery
4 inspect the exhaust system to check for emission leak
5 clean the spark plugs for better firepower


please help!


I had a perf exhaust system put in but they didn't even ask about the cat converter they just removed it. They didn't say much about it so I din't think much of it but now I'm reading stuff about removal of the cat and I'm not too sure.

Can it damage my car? Also my check engine light has never come on and I actually did a engine light diagnostic and there were no errors which I guess are supposed to come on if the cat is missing. They never do a visual check for the smog at my location which is in California. It's a 1500 dollar car basically so I'm not going to sell it or anything should I not worry about it?


i all ready have exhaust system, catalytic converter and headers, still not much power. i mean when i done it to my car, i could feel a huge difference.

so what ells can i do to get more power?


I have 2002 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and When I accelerate I can here a throaty kind of noise. I think it may be the exhaust system. What are some ways that I can find out where the leak may be coming from? The car has 91,900 miles


Hi everyone,

I've recently been involved in an accident where i was struck by a third party in the passengers side of my vehicle, the issue i have now is that my car is declared as a standard 1.6 mk5 astra BUT it has a genuine VXR front and rear bumper complete with side skirts and standard VXR exhaust system, these was already on the car when it was purchased and as there genuine vauxhall/ opel parts i never declared them as modifications when i purchased the vehicle and insurance policy.

Anyone know where i stand on this as I'm not at fault and the 3rd party will be covering the costs of my repair, any help/ advice will be gratefully appreciated.


I need 2 and labor cost $50 each and he is giving me a break. My car is in for inspection so it must be done or inspection won't pass. He said it is necessary for saving fuel and the exhaust system of fumes.I wonder if he is telling me the truth. My $79 inspection is now upto $406.98 ouch!!!!

Its a 2009 Scion Tc with a Supercharger and TRD exhaust also has a navigation and a sound system. It has 2,200 miles. What is a Reasonable offer to make for this car to get the best price.


Have a 98 Pontiac Grand Prix with a 3100 engine. We have replaced the radiator, water pump, hoses, thermostate, and intake gasket but it still says that it is overheating. It seems to be building pressure in the cooling system. The car idled fine for over an hour but when we took it out on the road it started overheating immediatly. Also do you know if its possible for exhaust to get into the cooling system?


i recently put a new 2 inch exhaust system with high flow cat and extractors on a kj2 ford laser 1.6L and have noticed a tinny exhaust note since this installment. Will this noise go away as parts wear in and what would be causing this?It seems to diminish sort of after the car has warmed up.
any suggestions appreciated
no i got this done at an exhaust shop. what exactly would need tightening something on the extractors or the cat or the piping?
thanks again


Today a friend of mine installed
a K&N cold air intake on my car
and he told me it has an LS6 manifold
and it headers.
my question is
with the K&N cold air kit, the headers, the LS6 manifold, and the loud mouth exhaust system.
approximately how much HP does my car make?
i keep on finding out new things on this car everday.


Want to supercharge a 2004 Pontiac GTO with a vortech supercharger. Runs 8.5 psi, brings the stock hp of 350 to 490.

I am going to get the engine rebuilt, because the car has 50,000 mile on it. I am going to get new forged rods, pistons, racing heads, larger cam, etc. Then I would get performance exhaust, intake, larger throttle body, larger gear set (3.75, or higher) etc.


My question is can I use this vortech system with 490hp with my stock transmission and stock rear end?


I currently have a 06 Tiburon GT with a cold air intake and exhaust system, but gettin tired and bored of it already...if you had 30,000 cash and was lookin to upgrade to something faster and better lookin what would you go for and why? I was thinkin either the Mazda Rx8 r3, or a Nissan NISMO 370z, and eventually puttin a supercharger/turbocharger kit onto it. Thanks


I have a 1994 Accord that did not start this moring.

1) Plenty of battery power (Checked)
2) When you turn the key there is NO sound or movement
3) The starter doesn't turn or run

Problem is that the starter is somewhat new and last time it went bad I had some hard start symptoms before it finally failed. This no start issue is day and night. The only symptoms I have had was loss of power while driving and bucking which made me think of either ignition issues or clogged exhaust. Well I now think my ignition system is bad (Coil, Distributor, Module). But would any of this cause there to be no start conditions for the entire car including no power to the starter?
Sorry.. I guess I should add that the everything in the car that uses power works.

Lights, Wipers, Radio, everything works. Just no start


In What order should I install the following? Struts, suspension, flywheel/ clutch, cold air intake, exhaust system, headers, brakes, fuel injector, cams, tires? Anything else I'm missing?


i just got a 1994 bmw 325i manual with 140000 miles on it. i want to put performance parts in like cold air intake and exhaust system. what else should i do to it to get more power? should i rebuild the engine? replace the clutch? thanks and i have about 10k to put in it.


I am helping my brother sell our extra family car but have no idea what to ask for it. The car is a 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300SD, a turbo-diesel sedan. I looked on Kelley Blue Book for a price but the years for car models don't even go to 1983 so there is no value to compare to. Mechanically, the car is sound, the engine has 140,000 miles (low for a diesel), the transmission is fine, and the exhaust system was replaced three years ago. Cosmetically the paint is faded from the roof, there are scratches down the side, and the interior trim is missing from the dashboard. There is also some rust in the jack wells. Does anybody have an idea what this car would go for? I am thinking of asking $1,600, i bought it for $4,500 four years ago. Too high or too low? While the car could use some TLC, it runs great and these things last forever. I figured it would be great for someone to do a veggie-oil conversion on.


I have a 1997 eclipse gst convertible, with an injen air intake, greddy b.o.v and a really nice brand new knock off n1 exhaust system. car is pretty quick but is fwd and hard to get traction. will burn wheels threw 3rd gear, we are about to go to the drag tack and I wanna know what time I should expect to run. any ideas?
GST is the same as the GSX, both come stock with a garrett t-25 turbo, gst manual is stock 215hp, add another 20-30 hp due to my exhaust and intake system
I have liability insurance that sgtays the same rate no matter if i drive a pinto or lambo


**please i beg you to be detailed!**

I was doing some research, and I was wondering if it's true that if I swapped out my fuel injectors if it would create more power (HP/TQ)? also would it even be noticeable as far as power increase? how will it effect fuel? Just wondering what I can do it enhance the performance of my car. I'm not trying to boost or build a block, nor am I trying to throw down serious power or cause any unreliable circumstances. Just trying to 'enhance' some power. I know adding on a intake, exhaust system and so on would be some simple power enhancements. My goal is to keep under $150.00/ per part. What are some things I can adjust and what are some add ons?

'04 Mazda 3. Manual.
Yea, planning to get an exhaust system..maybe even down piped, short ram, maybe even headers, and of course chipping.


I love my car to death! amazing set up with the body kit and carbon fiber hood with my wheels...and the customized interior....though she isnt that fast....should I just buy simple upgrades such as...cool air intake...straight pipe exhaust system..intercooler.performance chip....and things like that...will they help that much...im mostly worried about the acceleration..itrs pretty slow..or should I try to sell it and get a manual....please what should I do


My CITROEN C4 GRAND PICASSO EXCLUSIVE has a filter in the exhaust that stops all the black smoke coming out of the back like an ordinary deisle would do.
The engine management light has come on and it tells me that there is a fault with the depollution system. We took the car to citroen and they said it was an electrical fault. We got it fixed and 1 day later the light came back on saying the same thing.
Is it anything to do with the exhaust where the depollution filter is may be?
Or is it somthing elese?


The car has 160k miles it's manual and is about 4 thousand dollars. I plan on putting in performance parts cold air intake, exhaust system new tires anything else I should do or put in? Do you think that I should rebuild the engine cause of all the miles?


i have a 1999 eclipse and my acceleration is horrible! i already have a catback exhaust system in it what else can i install to increase the acceleration?...please tell me what the parts called price and link me somewhere thanks...the car is an automatic


I want to buy a civic 94-99 and do some mods to make it faster, not to make it a racer, just quick and more fun. I DO NOT WANT THIS TO BE A RICER!!!! No body kits, or anything like that. I was thinking probably just cold air intake, and new exhaust system, and maybe lighter wheels. Im looking for a ballpark of how much this would cost me. Sorry for not having many details, like I said i havent even bought the car yet.


I drive the above car and I'm looking to give my car a little more jump, a full exhaust system or new ECU, maybe a turbo or super kit, but I can't for the life of me find ANYTHING for my car. I've trolled over many a website looking for parts but there is almost nothing for this model. Does anyone know where I could find a site or company for this model, or can explain the absence of parts?


I have a 2004 Road King Custom and I want to change my exhaust system. Right not I have the stock cross over exhaust with Screaming eagle slip ons, I also have a stage 1 KIT wich is just a bigger Air Cleaner system to get more Air in.

I want the new exhaust system to be nice and Loud and give me more performance... I am thinking about ThunderHeader 2 into 1 with a false pipe.. but I hear they aren't the best in quality as far as the craftsmanship. I don't want to pay for a new exhaust system to have it only last a year and look like crap.

Anyone have any ideas.. remember I want them Loud enough so that cars here me when I a splitting lanes..

Also are 2 into 1's better then ..... True Duals...? Which should I get... I will likely be adding CAM's soon also.. since I have the Stage 1 and will be changing Exhaust too.. . Thanks everyone.


Hey everyone ;D

I'm wondering if cops in Montreal take notes in their computer system if you give them problems. A couple of examples, say the cops kinda being a prick and I make him look like an a$$ in front of a few people and embarrass him would he be able to write something in his system saying I was giving him problems? What if I have a loud car exhaust do they make a note for other cops to give me problems about it next time I'm pulled over?

Are cops legally allowed to take notes in their computer system about these kind of things or can they only takes notes on a situation that ends in arrest / ticket. Do they make a file on people for other cops to check as soon as they scan your plate?


my talon runs like a charm when warm
but when its cold it takes forever to get going
also my dash lights flicker on and off randomly when i dont even have the switch on. or my headlights turned on...also the running lights go on and off with the dash lights... randomly

the car has new exhaust system with a fart can

new ignition system wires distrubutor etc...its all been done

fuel system as well.

havent checked compression however i think its fine. cause it runs good and starts good when warm. ( no smoke or using oil)

its a 1993 eagle talon 1.8 litre inline 4cylinder with 219k

i have read on the review for consumer guide auto.com for this car that there is an electrical issue that causes this hard start or no start issues with a splice in the wiring that corrodes... they said its near the left headlight is left looking at the front of the car or left sitting in the car.

which wire could it be? or is there another issue that causes this that you know about? i give up please let me know...also what could cause dash lights and headlights to flicker? thanks for any help...
