whats a better catback for an 05 sunfire, pacesetter(Monza) or RKsport?. or does anyone have a good suggestion
and can someone tell me if its ok to have a CAI in the canadian winter even with a bypass valve or should i stick with a short ram???
I have a pacesetter in my 2200 engine. Pretty easy to install, beause the header is towards the front of the car. As far as the CAI goes. You shouldn't HAVE to have a bypass valve ... its on there so water doesnt get into your engine. So, basically ... dont drive though any lakes/deep puddles. Also, im pretty angry when people get "sucked" into the CAI ploy .... click on the link

ok nice article, so i keep to k&n filter i already have....i should just use the money to buy a header instead and get the pacesetter cat back too.....but i was talking about a cat abck exhaust and not the header!!!

Ok, now I understand. Sorry for the confusion about the header/cat-back exhaust. I read your profile and it seems that you want to supercharge it. Well ... IF you do that ... you don't want anything bigger than a 2.5" or 2.25" opening diameter (I need help on this org junkies
) Because if you go anything bigger, you are just losing your hp. To, basically sum it all up ... wait for the exhaust, don't get the header. I wouldn't get any of those choices. Pacesetter is a lazy bastards way of getting an exhaust system ... and rksport is damn expensive. Just go to your local muffler/exhaust shop and tell them that you want either compression or mandrel bends (I also need help with the org, cant remember which one is better for the ecotec). It will probably run you about 250 - 300 bucks with material and labor in the cost.
IF you can do all of that stuff yourself 100% ... then go to Jegs.com and build your own exhaust system. That is IF and ONLY IF you know how and what you are doing. The worst thing you want, is to be suck on an exhaust job don't know what to do ... and have to bring it in. Also, get the full exhaust system, in your profile it doesn't look like you have even have a header, it will be ALOT easier to weld the aftermarket down pipe to the exhaust system as opposed of going from a stock down pipe to a new cat-back.
I hope that helps your quest

id go with a custom catback for the eco with the gm s/c youll see about 10 psi , and youll want the exhaust flow
ive got rkcrappy's system on my cav and its nasty sounding
k, hereinlies the problem,i haven't updated in a while....now redun....superchargers is off for a long whil....getting married next summer and where i live there are no real shops to get anything......so i need to order it all pretty much....i want the exhaust but want bang for my buck type of deal...

I would just go to a shop and have something custom made.
i had my exhaust custom made, and it has a better sound than most i've heard on cavaliers around here.
Vibrant cat back system here, sounds fine. (Also have an RKSport 4-1, and Magnaflow High Flow Cat.)

I give up...
