Just picked up a 2002 chevy cavalier LS coupe with a 5 speed. Looking for the best exhaust to get a throaty sound. I don't know anything about the ecotec so I'm looking for some help.

 

Do a cat back swap, go with 2.5 inch stainless steel pipes and a 14 inch long glass-pack resonator (any kind, find one on ebay), and get a DC Sports muffler (2.5 inch inlet, 12 inches long, 4 inch outlet)...I bought a new muffler and didn't do anything else and it made tons of a difference and I only spent like $30 and did the work myself and had it finished in less than an hour.

 

go to jbody.org or clubcav.com. they are cav specific sites with people who have done everything to a cav. lots of tuner, performance info.... this is a warranty crybaby forum with some general repair help. why won't gm fix by 6year old car for free....waaa waaa
